Chapter 339: Interview at the door of the courthouse
"Everybody knows that the land on which the court decreed to allow the Brown Bear Tribe to form an 'Indian Reservation' is an incomparably barren and worthless piece of land where there are no minerals and land cannot be cultivated! The nearest town is at least a four-hour drive away! So such compensation is definitely not compensation, but another form of power oppression! It can also be seen that Montana state officials have no awareness of the mistake they made more than 20 years ago! The officials of these state governments are just forced by the pressure of the media and public opinion to make a gesture as a last resort! Semen said righteously to the camera.
"Excuse me," a media reporter raised the microphone in his hand, stretched it out in front of the door, and asked very quickly, "What do you think of the state court's decision that the state government of Montana should pay 20,000 yuan in compensation to each of the brown bear tribes?" Satisfied with this verdict? Still not satisfied? ”
"Of course not!" Semen answered the reporter's question with a stern face.
"Why?" The reporter then asked.
Semen pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, then looked directly at the reporter and replied in a coherent manner: "The state court's award of $20,000 in compensation is based on the fact that the U.S. government apologized in 1988 for the historic event of interning Japanese Americans in concentration camps during World War II, and paid $20,000 in compensation to each person!" But—"
At this point, Semen paused. Then he slowly swept all the spotlights in front of him with blazing eyes, lowered his head and approached his nearest microphone, and complained loudly: "But - the economic value of 20,000 US dollars in 1988 and 20,000 US dollars in 2008 is completely different!" There was a full twenty years of inflation in between! Therefore, at the time of the second appeal, I will ask the higher court that for the compensation of the brown bear tribe, the inflation rate of these two decades must be calculated together, and then the specific amount of compensation that should be given must be recalculated! ”
"Excuse me—" As soon as Semen's voice fell, another microphone reached out in front of him—
"Excuse me. Do you have a lot of confidence in a second appeal? In response to this case of the power bullying the people's rights. What kind of judgment do you think the higher court should make in order to uphold the justice of the law? The reporter who grabbed the right to ask questions hurriedly asked.
"Speaking of 'justice'! I think 'justice' is in the judgment of all the people who care about it! Semen did not give a positive answer to the reporter's question.
After smiling at the camera, he continued: "What is the 'Righteous Judgment'? I believe that in the hearts of every person who pays attention to this case, there is a criterion for judging! The Brown Bear Tribe was driven and persecuted by the state government more than two decades ago. and their poverty for more than 20 years. With the coverage of major media outlets. Finally, more than 20 years later, it was seen in the public. People who are concerned about this matter may think that the expulsion and persecution did not happen to me personally, anyway. I can think of it as a current news, just watch it lively! But—"
Simon's tone suddenly intensified: "However, the people seem to have forgotten that when you are complaining about a case of robbery/robbery and theft/theft of minorities around you, and you are complaining about the increasing number of blacks, Indians and Latinos squeezing your job search space, you have all ignored the most critical point!" That is – it is precisely the inaction of our government that is responsible for this phenomenon! If our ruling government can face up to these phenomena that exist in the current society, and then make the right attitude to improve it, and provide some constructive help to those minorities, so that these minorities can live in this society through their own efforts. Then, I believe that at the very least, the robbing/robbery, stealing/stealing incidents around the people will be significantly reduced! ”
As he spoke, Simon pulled a child from the Brown Bear Tribe behind him, stroked the Indian child's hairline, and continued with a smile: "Imagine if the Brown Bear Tribe accepted the first-instance judgment of the state court, or gave up the land claim and continued to return to the tribal settlement deep in the Rocky Mountains, more than ten years later, when this child grows up, will he be curious about the civilized society of the outside world?" Will he want to go back to civilization? However, because of such an unfair verdict by the state court, he will only become an illiterate Indian youth with no education and no source of income! And after such a young man breaks into our civilized society, will he be indignant at all these injustices he has experienced because of the many reasons such as hitting walls everywhere on the way to finding a job, and being subjected to racial discrimination? Will this turn into another potential crime/offense? If the series I am talking about is only a microcosm of social phenomena, and the crimes of most ethnic minorities in the society that currently exist are the embodiment of these microcosms! Therefore"
At this point, Simon paused, and then quietly poked the child's back with his left hand, which was hiding behind the Indian child's back, giving a subtle hint.
Immediately afterward, the Indian child, who had received the hint, let out a loud cry into the lens of the nearest magnesium lamp in front of him—
"I don't want to be a robber/robber or a thief when I grow up!! I want to go to school! I want to work in a big company in the future and make a lot of money on my own! ”
If Pei Pei had been there, she would have recognized the screaming Indian kid.
- Yes, he's the ghostliest wolf tail!
The scene was arranged early in the morning. And the most crucial actor in this scene is an Indian child whose expression and emotions must be interpreted appropriately.
Therefore, in the pick-and-pick of Semen, and the self-recommendation of all the children in the brown bear tribe, in the end, the ghost spirit wolf tail who thought he had seen the most widely became the little actor who shouted out this most profound scene with a vivid and vivid interpretation during the rehearsal!
Back to the point –
"Did you hear the young Indian boy's appeal?" After Simon shouted those words in the wolf's tail, he immediately picked up the conversation and shouted indignantly to the camera-
"I hereby appeal to all those who are concerned about this civil rights case, and I hope that you will never take it as sensationalist news again as you follow the development of this case! Because changing the future of an Indian child will make your future life many, many less potential crimes! To this end, we will work with the National Association for the Protection of Children to set up a special voting website, hoping that all the people who are concerned about the development of this case will vote for your righteous vote, and use your voice to make our ruling government face up to the social microcosm that this case represents! Therefore, I hereby make a special request that the Federal Supreme Court accept this case and give the most just verdict! ”
In the afternoon of the same day—
The nation's major media outlets used the wolf's tail cry as the headline of the newspaper - "I don't want to grow up to be a criminal!" ”
And that night, the evening news of CBS-TV and NBC-TV also broadcast the shocking cry of the wolf's tail!
At the same time, with the cooperation of major well-known newspapers and those of minority newspapers, this civil rights case began to intensify across the United States (to be continued......
PS: Meow sighed helplessly, please all book friends who read piracy/editions, really don't force me to start the anti-theft chapter again! It only costs less than a dime to read the content of a chapter, but the author and I have to squeeze out a lot of time to look up all kinds of information and materials, and it takes a lot of my brain cells to reasonably integrate the information and information I find into the whole storyline! Maybe my appeals are useless in the end, but I still hope that all the book lovers who read pirated/editions can respect the author's hard work! Really! Don't force me to continue working on anti-piracy chapters!
