Chapter 135: The Mutant Problem (For the First Helmsman GM845660 Plus Change)
When Yurik heard this, several deep furrows wrinkled on his forehead, and he said hesitantly: "Mr. Inspector General, you should be deliberately deceiving, right?" Whether mutants break the law or not is determined by ordinary people, and today it may really only be the supervision of mutants who have committed vandalism, but these people have been arrested? Does it mean that ordinary innocent mutants also have to enter the control center? “
William raised his eyebrows and said serious nonsense, "Reporter Yurick, you have to believe in the police, believe in the impartiality of the judiciary, and believe in the US government!" We even have defense lawyers for mutants, and we will never arrest people indiscriminately. “
Cole next to him also said, "Ben Yuric, right? You're not a mutant, so why care about these things? Lucius let you in so that you can tout it for him in the New York Gazette tomorrow, right? Wouldn't it be nice to drink, dance, relax, and sing a few words of praise in the newspaper tomorrow, and have money for some fun? “
As if he hadn't heard Cole's sarcasm, Ulrick continued to say solemnly, "Martin. Do you know Nemola's confessional poems? At first they persecuted the Communists, and I did not speak because I was not a believer in Marx. Later they persecuted the Jews, and I didn't speak because I was Germanic. Then they persecuted Catholics, and I didn't speak because I was a Protestant priest. Finally they persecuted me, and I looked around, but no one could speak for me. “
"Today you are ignoring the U.S. Constitution, violating the spirit of freedom, pearl, and equality, and wantonly persecuting mutants, will tomorrow even potential X gene carriers have to be monitored? Even if I'm not a mutant and I don't have mutant friends around, maybe one day my children and grandchildren will become mutants? You say, "Can this leave my business alone?" “
William let out a long sigh and said, "Reporter Ulric, you have to understand that we have no choice but to do this, after all, the harm of mutants is too great, haven't you listened to the TV report?" Three citizens died in Atlanta last month, all because mutants were robbing a supermarket. Faced with this situation, we had to take the necessary measures. “
Maya listened to it for a while, and couldn't help it, so she walked over directly and said, "Mr. Inspector General, just yesterday in Tiheima County, northern California, there was a serious school shooting, but as many as 4 children died, and 15 were affected. Meitu has at least 50,000 shootings every year, nearly 15,000 people are killed in shootings every year, and about 25,000 innocent civilians are injured. Even if it's the most vicious Magneto, has there been 500 casualties this year? Instead of banning guns, the government wants to oppress our own kind? ”
Seeing that Maya was a little girl, Cole said disdainfully: "Girl, go over there and play games, our adult business has nothing to do with you!" ”
President Maya was not angry and continued, "Mr. Cole, I just heard your conversation, and I want to ask again, do you know what age the mutant awakening peak is? ”
Seeing that the three people on the other side were all at a loss, it was obvious that even the conscience reporter Eurik rarely cared about mutants, and his rebuttal this time was more like a momentary anger.
"Many people on the planet have X genes, and what reporter Yurick said just now is very right, your offspring are likely to appear mutants, even if you are not mutants. And the X gene awakening, a lot of it happens to teenagers, and when they have intense mood swings, there is a high chance of becoming mutants. That said, mutants are often born with destruction, and by your standards, every mutant should be imprisoned. ”
Cole listened for a long time, and finally said, "This has nothing to do with you, huh?" Why are you excited, little girl? ”
Maya was really helpless, sighed and said, "How did you become Mr. Councilor's assistant?" I'm a teenager now, and a lot of mutants are my peers, even if I'm not a mutant, my classmates, friends, are all possible mutants, how can this not be related to me? ”
William can be the inspector general, and it is really not comparable to Cole, and at this time I heard him say seriously: "Little girl, I don't know where you know these things, I assume that your words are all right." Then we police should be more in charge of those mutants, because they are innocent students, and maybe one day they will riot and hurt your children. ”
You're right, I don't even know how to refute it.
"But can't the government set up a separate school for mutants and arrange for mutant teachers to teach them? Don't think I'm too young to know what a so-called mutant containment center is. The government is reluctant to invest in education in our community primary schools, and how many resources can the mutants who you see as a threat get? I'm afraid that the regulatory center... After a while, it will become a concentration camp, right? ”
William didn't expect that the little girl in front of him was so sharp, and she could see through the essence of the problem at once, so he took a serious look at her at the moment, and saw that she was less than one meter four, wearing a plain half-worn dress, dark blonde hair with a braid, and the whole person looked very beautiful and cute, which was very incommensurate with her well-organized and logical words.
"Little girl, what's your name?" He asked.
Before Maya could answer, reporter Yurick said, "You should call Maya Hansen, I've written a few of your reports!" ”
William thought for a long time, never remembering who Maya Henson was, but he still said: "Maya, have you ever thought that being killed by a gun and being killed by a mutant superpower have a completely different impact on society? Let's put it this way, someone's loved one was shot, and his most extreme thought was, I'll buy a gun to kill that guy too. If his family was killed by a mutant's unconscious energy ray, what would normal people think? They will think, damn it, why is God so unfair, he has superpowers and why I don't, my loved ones were killed by superpowers, what should I do? Mutants are damned! ”
"Everyone knows the principle of firearms, the ability of mutants comes too suddenly, too randomly, some people regard them as demons, and some people are envious and jealous, no matter what kind of person, their hatred for mutants is unified, and there is no reason. So it's not feasible for you to use a shooting as a metaphor for mutants. ”
Hearing him say so much, Maya also understood his potential meaning, and said: "Mutants are aliens, it doesn't matter how harmful they are, the important thing is that aliens should be killed, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it's just a position, and you and the government represent the position of the vast majority of ordinary people, right?" ”
"Ahem, I didn't mean that, you girl, don't talk nonsense, and Yuric, don't write nonsense, I didn't say that!" William argued in embarrassment.
Maya can understand his words, William is very happy, but you don't look at the occasion, don't you see a reporter next to you? How can I say that I am also the inspector general, representing the face of the government, not to mention that I was still talking so righteously on the NBC TV show just now!
