The riots in San Francisco quickly spread quickly on the Internet. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In the era before the Internet, this kind of thing could still be locked down in a small circle, and the government could quickly block all paper reports through strong means. But today, it's not that the government can't block this kind of information, after all, the state apparatus is not a joke; One must also be wary of hackers like Assange fighting back.
Clearly, what is happening in San Francisco today does not need to be covered up by the government.
After all, it's just a shooting, and there is no day when this kind of thing doesn't happen in the United States.
Twitter, Death, Instagram, Snapchat, Soup is not hot。。。。。
These software and social platforms were spontaneously used and shared by people in the first place, and even people on the East Coast were the first to know about the riots on the West Coast.
Then came the appearance of reporters from all walks of life.
The eight immortals crossed the sea, each showing their magical powers.
Fox News was the first to issue a simple news story this time. "At 4:30 p.m. today, Black Equal Rights began a march for equal rights for black people in eastern San Francisco. Shouting 'Black-lives-matter,' the march made its way to downtown San Francisco, where it was met by a 'white rights organization', a sub-group of the Ku Klux Klan. The two sides were agitated, and in the friction between them, the two sides turned from a march into a riot. During the fifteen-minute riot, several gunshots rang out. San Francisco police quickly took control of the scene after using tear gas and high-pressure water cannons. By the time this reporter sent back the report, a total of 19 people had died and 126 had been injured at the scene. ”

Daniel Wayne pressed the remote control in his hand and turned off the 60-inch OLED screen TV in the living room.
The female anchor on TV was broadcasting information about yesterday's riots in San Francisco.
Seven of the 126 injured did not come out of the operating room due to their injuries.
This brings the number of casualties to twenty-six.
Because of the peculiarities of both sides of this riot, the media are like sharks smelling blood, and are now hungry for any information.
On one side is the 'Black Rights Equality' organization that has fought for the rights of black people countless times.
On the other side is the notorious 'Ku Klux Klux Klan' sub-organization.
On one side are the weak and bullied blacks.
On the other side are white people who used to be directors of black people.
Of the twenty-six people who died, twenty were black, six were white, and four of those six were of the Black Rights Equal organization.
This stark contrast makes all the media involuntarily look for a question: Is this a hate-crime?
Hate crimes have been on the rise in the United States in recent years.
The first piece of legislation to prevent hate crimes in the United States is the limited Civil Rights Act of 1968, which authorizes federal prosecutors to prosecute federal prosecutors in federal courts for threats of profiteering or discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, or national origin. Injury caused by firearms, explosives or arson is punishable by up to 10 years' imprisonment. In the case of kidnapping, murder and violent assault, the maximum sentence is life imprisonment or the death penalty.
In 2009, the U.S. Congress passed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. HateCrimes Prevention Act, the first law to combat hate crimes including gender discrimination. The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act, or the Matthew Shepard Act, authorizes the U.S. federal government to assist state governments in the investigation, prosecution, and jurisdiction of hate crimes involving the use of fire, firearms, explosives, detonating devices, or dangerous weapons against persons with disabilities, sex, national origin, color, religion, sexual orientation, transsexuality, or other intent or offense. The Matthew Shepard Act, which is based on the VialentCrimeControl and Law Enforcement Act There are four main features: first, it is no longer limited to specific circumstances and targets, second, it empowers the federal government to intervene in local jurisdictions, third, it allocates $5 million in grants to assist local investigations or prosecutions of hate crimes, and fourth, it mandates the FBI to establish a system of gender and racial hate crime statistics to analyze, assist, and strengthen federal and local hate crime prevention laws. Since then, the United States has had a relatively comprehensive hate crime prevention bill.
In addition to Arkansas, Indiana, South Carolina and Wyoming, all 46 states, including the Capital Domain, have local laws that punish hate crimes.
For example, if a white man robbed a black man, he could be sentenced to a year in prison, and if the prosecutor successfully prosecuted the white man for a hate crime, the sentence could likely be increased to 10 years or more.
Daniel Wayne sat on the couch, picked up a goblet full of red wine, and took a big sip.
Silky red wine moistened his throat.
A satisfied smile appeared on Daniel's face.
The plan was a success.
The next step is to use this public anger to provoke more protests, marches, petitions, etc., to force the government to make the right decision, so as to weaken and suppress the 'Ku Klux Klux Klan'.
There is also the exchange of various benefits.
Daniel seemed to see a flood of green bills pouring into his arms in the future.
He looked at the vintage clock hanging on the wall.
The hands were already pointing to one o'clock in the morning.
Daniel felt a little tired.
He gulped down the red wine in his hand and prepared to go to bed in the bedroom.
A chilly sensation drove Daniel's sleepiness away.
He felt something cold and sharp against the artery in his neck.
Goosebumps popped out as quickly as if they didn't want money.
"I advise you not to move, Mr. Daniel, or I'm afraid that the dagger in my hand will accidentally cut your neck~"
Daniel's deep voice made Daniel feel the seriousness of the other party.
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
