Early the next morning, while Xiao Peng was still sleeping in his room, Pagio came to knock on the door.

"Xiao, the police station called just now and said to let you go to the Hood Block Court. Must arrive before 8 o'clock, no late. Pagio said helplessly.

Xiao Peng was also stunned: "I'm mowing the grass? Are they going to fight with me to the end? ”

Pagio smiled, "I know, I've got the lawyer there to meet with you." ”

Xiao Peng was about to wash up after getting dressed, when he suddenly stopped: "Peggy, can you tell me, where is that Hood neighborhood?"

Padgio simply said, "Oh, let my security assistant Devon accompany you, he knows the place well, and you'd better take my car." ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "What are you doing? Let me pretend to be a big boss and go to that Hood neighborhood to pretend to be a coercion?"

"No, no, no, you're thinking too much. It's because my car is bulletproof. You're safer in my car. Anyway, I know the boss of TAC very well, you can modify your car, their safety technology is really good, at least safety can be guaranteed. "TAC is the largest bulletproof car modification in the Stars and Stripes Country, and Ao Guanhai's Army No. 1 is their transformation.

Xiao Peng was stunned: "What the hell? I'm just going to a court, why do I need bulletproof? As for my car, forget it, bulletproof sports car? You can figure it out, it's so heavy and a fart." ”

"It's an African-American area, and you'll know when you go. Pagio said.

"What, okay, okay, listen to the advice of people to eat well, I'll just take your car. I'm going to wash up and don't be late. Xiao Peng said.

"I'll go too!" Yang Meng didn't know when he ran over.

Xiao Peng shook his head: "It's better for you to stay here to educate Li Chen." I'll just check it out. By the way, remember my words, it's majestic to kill him, but don't really run him away!"

Yang Meng frowned: "You really don't need me to go?"

Xiao Peng signaled that it was okay, and after washing up, Devin and another bodyguard named Michael had been waiting there for a long time. Both of them are very burly, and they are both military backgrounds at first glance. The two took Xiao Peng to the Hood neighborhood.

It's a standard African-American neighborhood------ there's no one on the road, and it's quiet and scary. And that courtroom, alas, what a courtroom, was a big one-story house. asked Devin and Wen to wait for him in the car, and Xiao Peng walked into the courtroom alone.

As soon as Xiao Peng entered the courthouse, he saw a white man in a suit standing there, and when he looked at Xiao Peng, he quickly shook hands with him: "Is Mr. Xiao right? I am Hugh Norman, Mr. Berttree's lawyer." ”

"Hugh, I'm going to trouble you today. Xiao Peng said with a smile.

Who knew that Hugh Norman shook his head: "Mr. Xiao, I won't do anything today." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Peng was stunned, not understanding what Hugh Norman meant.

Hugh replied: "I know the cause and effect of this matter, Mr. Xiao, please believe me, there are problems in this trial, and I am here to find out these problems in order to give you the most effective help." You're like this for a while。。。。。。 After speaking, he whispered a few words in Xiao Peng's ear. Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but still nodded.

After seeing Xiao Peng's agreement, Hugh Norman entered the courtroom and found a place to sit down.

And when Xiao Peng just wanted to go in, someone stopped him, Xiao Peng turned around and saw two people standing behind him, one was Officer Ted who captured him, and the other was a black man who didn't know him, but he seemed to have a higher status than Ted.

Sure enough, Ted introduced, "Mr. Shaw, this is our director, Mr. Larry Johnson. ”

Xiao Peng looked at it, the black chief? This is not in the film and television, in reality, the black police chief is not common!

When Ao Guanhai was on stage, it was really for the benefit of black people: now at Stars and Stripes University, there is a humanities education class, and the specific content is simply as follows: black women marry white men for the noble ideal of racial integration, and Asian women marry white men for money。。。。。。

Now when we look at Hollywood blockbusters, there will be black people in every movie, and almost all the characters are the same: brave, loyal, leader, etc., anyway, it is definitely a positive image, even if it is a villain, it must be loyal, and it cannot be the culprit. Even S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury has become black, doesn't that tell the story?

Just like in "The Return of Tarzan", a former mercenary starring Samuel L. L. Jackson, on behalf of the government of the Stars and Stripes, asked Tarzan to cooperate. Come on, when was that? Around 1880! At that time, the Stars and Stripes had just ended the Civil War, and the black people were still living a life of slavery in the name of 'freedom', so how could it be possible to send a black man to represent a country?

Well, to put it bluntly, that's how the Stars and Stripes changed history. Now the young people of the Stars and Stripes look at it and say, 'Oh, it turns out that the black people in our country had such a status in those days。。。。。。 ’

What is this behavior called in our Chinese dialect? Oh! Yes! Cover your ears and steal the bell!

And movies are movies after all, and they are completely different from life, there are indeed many black soldiers and policemen in reality, but they are basically grassroots jobs, and the black elite is not nothing, but compared with the number of whites, it is rare. In terms of recreation and sports, blacks are at the level of Dana, but in terms of the rest of the social contributions。。。。。。 Alas, don't mention it.

Who made the Stars and Stripes a standard 'ASP' society?

The term 'ASP' is an abbreviation for hite Anglo-Saxon Protestant, which refers to the Protestant Anglo-Saxon Stars and Stripes, and now the word stands for another meaning, that is, white people leading the various ethnic groups of the Stars and Stripes。。。。。。 Why is rugby so much more popular than basketball in Stars and Stripes? It's because football is the standard 'ASP' sport, look at the quarterbacks who are the brains and leaders of the team, all white. Isn't it telling that football has had just over 20 black quarterbacks and almost all of them have been substituted? And the leaders in basketball are all black brothers, which is not in line with their mainstream values。。。。。。

"What's the matter?" Xiao Peng asked, looking at Ted.

Ted introduced, "Our Director Larry wants to talk to you. ”

"Let's talk?" Xiao Peng looked at Larry: "What else is there to talk about? We'll see you in court. ”

Director Larry listened to Xiao Peng's words and squinted at Xiao Peng: "Now you still have a choice, believe me, before you enter this court, everything is still negotiable." Wouldn't it be better for us to negotiate the best of both worlds now?"

"Discuss?" Xiao Peng smiled coldly, directly pushed open the courtroom door, threw Larry and the two of them there without looking, and walked in by himself.

From the moment you tossed me here, it meant that we didn't have to compromise!

After waiting for some things in the courtroom, it finally came to eight o'clock, after a black lawyer named 'Catherine' on the trial platform, the trial work began, and the scene plus Xiao Peng, there were more than ten people waiting for the trial, both men and women, all black brothers and sisters, only he was an exception, what drunk driving, drug abuse, theft, robbery and the like, Xiao Peng thought it would take a long time, but that Catherine was also fast:

"Mr. Ingram, is it true that the police have found you openly drinking alcoholic beverages on the street?"

"Yes ma'am. ”

"For the record, this is the third time you've been brought here for the same thing, do I think you don't have the idea of correcting it at all?"

"Madam, I'm serious about correcting it, and I even joined the Alcoholics Mutual Aid Society, but after all, it takes a process. ”

"Whatever you say, it's breaking the law, but considering that you've already corrected it, you're going to be fined $100 and forced to work in the community for a weekend. ”

"A hundred dollars, God, where do I get that much money from?"

"So be it, a $20 fine, and force the community to work for two weekends. You can choose to work in your own community or go to Palo Alto, the choice is yours. ”

"Palo Aldo, seven hundred kilometers from here!"

"And you choose to live in the neighborhood where you live?"

"No, I still choose Palo Alto, but it's so far away, I can't get there. ”

"Well, the twenty dollar fine is waived for you, as a gas fee, and I hope you will remember the lesson through this labor. Next!"

Xiao Peng was dumbfounded, what kind of court is this Nima? The fine can still be negotiated? It is like a vegetable market? This old black lady is a bit easy to talk to, and it seems that she can easily pass the test.

Soon, the trials of a group of people were over, and the community labor was almost all punished, and only one minor drug dealer was sentenced to two years in state prison. And the reason for convicting him was not that he was growing marijuana privately, but that he was stealing electricity。。。。。。

Well, throughout the state of California, recreational marijuana is now 'legalized,' and all California residents over the age of 21 can purchase, possess, and grow marijuana within the limits of their legal license.

And this marijuana cultivation is also simple, find a room, the LED lights are shining inside, and the marijuana will be rubbing for a long time. Since most illegal marijuana is grown indoors and cannot be used in sunlight, even this industry has fed many lighting factories in Huaxia for foreign trade.

Even though planting is now allowed, many people still choose to grow indoors due to issues such as its growth pest permit. But how do you solve this electricity bill? That's a big expense, isn't it?

This guy is too, whose electricity you steal is not good, you steal electricity from a convenience store owned by a Chinese next door, what are the Chinese people best at? Be careful with your calculations! Do you think there is a problem with so many extra electricity bills every month? After a check, this guy was arrested on charges of stealing and growing marijuana without a license and selling marijuana within a thousand feet around the school.

However, a sentence of two years is definitely the minimum sentence.

When many Chinese students arrive in the Stars and Stripes Country, the first thing is to 'let go of themselves', which is really to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. There are a lot of videos of overseas students and foreigners on the Internet, and many people will try to get some of things like marijuana. Xiao Peng can only say this: Whoever touches it is stupid.

Let's not talk about the old-fashioned 'cherish life and stay away from drugs', let's talk about the key point: California's marijuana legalization bill is only valid for residents of this state, regardless of whether you are an international student with a green card or a student visa, you still need to follow the federal law of the Stars and Stripes.

In the federal controlled drug regulations, marijuana and heroin are listed as Class I drugs, and once international students are found to have been contaminated with marijuana, they will not only be suspected of committing a crime, but will also be directly deported.

It is true that almost half of the states in the Stars and Stripes are legal for marijuana, but that is for the people of the Stars and Stripes who live in their own state, not for you, don't know this until you are driven back.

However, this black aunt's light punishment really made Xiao Peng feel a lot easier, and it seems that he is just going through the motions.

Who knew that Aunt Hei's first sentence made Xiao Peng frown: "Mr. Xiao, regarding your lawsuit, your public defender fee is a total of 1,400 US dollars, and I will give you the bill in a while." Remember to pay early. ”

Public defender? Why do you come to me to be special?

"Ms. Catherine, I want to say, I have a lawyer, can I have a lawyer?" Xiao Peng asked.

"This is the Bay Area, and since you're here in court, you're going to use our public defender. That's why it's time to pay for it. Judge Catherine replied.

Xiao Peng frowned slightly: "Isn't it a public defender, why do you still ask me for money?"

Catherine shrugged: "Now the California government has no money, so you have to take the money yourself." ”

After Xiao Peng heard this, a piece of grass and mud ran through his mind, I went to see that there was no public defender in court, how could it be a matter of coming to me?

He thought for a moment, and glanced back at Hugh, who was sitting in the corner, and Hugh nodded to him.

After all, I don't know what the situation is here, so Hugh signals that it's okay, then it's okay.

Xiao Peng nodded, looked at the public defender arranged for him, raised his hand and asked, "Madam, why don't I see that those people just now don't have a public defender?"

"Oh, they don't have the money to pay for the defender. Catherine replied as a matter of course.

Xiao Peng frowned, he always felt that something was wrong, according to the laws of the Stars and Stripes, everyone has the right to defend, whether they are poor or rich, even if they have no money to pay, they should arrange a public defender for free, but because they have no money, they will not arrange it?

Isn't this a joke? I'm being treated differently?

Anyway, the cost of such a public defender is 1,400 dollars? This Nima is a bit of a cheat, right? Did I hire a top barrister from the Stars and Stripes?
