Chapter 224: The Young Man Who Caused Trouble
Sitting in the taxi, Taylor kept talking about Scott's son Andy, a young man a little younger than himself, who does his duty on weekdays, but often comes into contact with a group of depraved young friends, so he occasionally does some small things that violate the law, such as drinking, flying cars, and smoking when he is underage. Hemp or something, but it will never be evil, this time it was just an accident, I didn't expect it to be such a big accident!
Xiao Qi knew as soon as he heard that this teenager was a typical American middle-class child, and the things he did were basically done by every middle-class child, otherwise how could the United States be called a decadent country?
Strange to say, they will be indulgent and decadent when they are young, and once they go to work, they will work seriously and honestly as if they were a different person.
Such a huge contrast is sometimes impossible for even American experts and scholars to understand, and I am afraid that it can only be explained by "they have grown up".
Came to the hospital that Shirley said, because it was night, there were not many people in the hospital, and there were only a middle-aged couple, two heavily armed policemen standing outside the door of the operating room, and a teenager huddled in the corner.
Most of the middle-aged couple's spirit was still focused on communicating with the police, but the two policemen were obviously a little impatient, and their eyes were more focused on the indicator light in the operating room.
Before it comes to a high-level struggle, the police in the United States can be called relatively dedicated, and occasionally there are a few black sheep, which is inevitable, but more American police officers generally get a lot of scores.
Seeing Taylor and Xiao Qi arrive, the two policemen thought they were the victim's family, but when they saw Shirley, they greeted them. He frowned and withdrew his gaze.
"Sister Taylor!" When the little boy saw Taylor, he also looked very excited, and quickly wanted to stand up and speak, but the policeman next to him pressed his shoulder.
"Squat down for me!"
The policeman said to him viciously.
Although limited by the law, it is impossible for the police to directly punish him at the age of sixteen, but between the words and deeds of the police. It still makes people feel their irritation.
The little boy was tall, with scars on his face and body, and his clothes were torn, but fortunately he was bandaged and there was no major problem.
"I'm sorry, Taylor~~" Shirley walked to the girl's side in three or two steps, hugged her gently, and said, "I really can't find anyone else to help...... We're going to talk to the parents of that kid soon, and you're here to watch Andy. Don't let him run away, you know? β
"Don't worry, Aunt Shirley, I'll watch him."
Taylor nodded earnestly.
Driving without a license, drunk driving, and hitting people are exaggerated enough, and if they escape, I'm afraid that no matter how much the judge wants to be tolerant, he won't be able to pass the jury level, so come on. The little boy Andy's life was ruined.
Not to mention, the justices of New York. It is notoriously harsh, people who want to reconvict crimes all day long, as a sign of their impartiality, and this time to catch such an example of a depraved child of the middle class, where will they not play on the subject?
"How's it going?" After stepping aside, Taylor asked Shirley in a whisper.
"It's still being rescued inside. Anyway, the situation is not optimistic. Shirley frowned and said, "The results of Andy's examination at the hospital have also come out, which is drunk driving, not drunk driving...... This is also a great blessing in misfortune. β
Driving under the influence of alcohol and driving while intoxicated are two different concepts that are very different. So Shirley was a bit of a fluke.
But in Xiao Qi's opinion, things are definitely much more complicated than Shirley thought.
The U.S. law is quite perfect, and there is little room for maneuver, at least in this matter.
Scott was clearly aware of this, and from the way he looked at his hands clenched and his brow furrowed into contemplation, he was thinking about what to do.
"Son! Where's my son?! β
At this moment, a terrible voice poured in from outside, followed by a couple in their thirties, who, under the leadership of a policeman, rushed to the operating room here, wanting to rush in to have a look, but were desperately blocked by the two policemen who stayed behind.
"Calm down! Sir, Madam! The fierce policeman just now, although his actions were very resolute at this time, his tone was also very calm: "Your child is being rescued, I asked the nurse, the situation is fine, please be patient, don't disturb the doctor's treatment!" β
As soon as Zuihou's words came out, he directly shut up the couple, and even the crying stopped, and the mother covered her mouth tightly and choked silently.
Scott hurriedly stood up and walked to their side: "Sir, madam, I'm sorry, I ...... Yes! β
There was no doubt that the man's heavy punch hit him in the face, and the force was so great that it directly caused Scott to fall on his back.
The three policemen watched from the sidelines, but did not come to stop them.
Even if it is wrong to hit someone, the police are human beings, and they will naturally have their own preferences -- don't doubt it, in the United States, the police are very autonomous, and as long as the law allows them, they are usually willing to enforce the law very humanely, not hard and cold.
Seeing his father being beaten, Andy was anxious, so he rushed over and yelled, "I was the one who hit your son!" Don't hit my dad! Come hit me! β
Looking at such a young Andy, the man's face was stunned, and he subconsciously waved his fist, but this time, the policeman next to him grabbed his arm: "Sir, this young man is not yet an adult, you can't do it." β
"Underage?" The man trembled, lowered his voice, and roared angrily: "How can minors drive? How did his parents teach? What a bastard! β
Scott is not an ordinary person, he was beaten and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, but he still struggled to get up with Shirley's support, "I'm sorry, we don't want to do this...... But now that the accident has happened, why don't we go and sit down next to it and talk about it and see what to do? β
"Not available!"
The child's mother said coldly, "I'm going to wait until my son's surgery!" If my son is hurt in any way, I swear I will send your son to jail! β
Until now, the couple didn't know that Andy was drunk driving, otherwise I'm afraid the anger would have deepened.
After all, if there is an accident, everyone can barely accept it.
But it would be unforgivable if it was a subjective offense that led to such an accidentβand the American people did not have the virtue of complaining. (To be continued.) )
PS: It's 12,000 again, and I'm so tired that I can't lift my hands......
