0206 The inevitable pain of growing up
According to a study by federal sociologists and experts, they believe that children living in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods have less effective access to adulthood than children living in better economic conditions.
Workers at the bottom, or gang members.
Joining a criminal gang has become their only and few options.
From the beginning of the child party to the joining of regular gangs, this criminal culture has always accompanied them and is embedded in their bones, and they may not be associated with crime for a long time.
Even a few people who can guarantee that they will not join a criminal gang cannot sever their relationship and connection with the criminal gang, because these are their lives.
Even to a certain extent, in such a low-class society, their criminal experience and their status in the gang have become the standard for judging whether a person is promising.
It's frustrating, but life is like that, and it doesn't open a certain door for them just because someone works harder.
The capture and release of the trio gave them a great deal of prestige in the small place where they lived, and some of the children looked at them with some changes.
In the past, they may have been just the kind of people who were a little bit famous, but now they have become celebrities, and celebrities have to do what only a celebrity can do.
"We could consider hiring a truck, and they wouldn't have thought we'd be going to go again as soon as we came out. ”
The acquittal emboldened them even further, and they already had a natural premonition that they might become the initiators of a new gang.
The gang on the street disappeared because of the fight against financial crime, and the economic downturn ensued, and people were busy with their lives and other things, which also made the street currently have no formed gangs.
If they manage to get a sum of money from the warehouse, they are eligible to form the gang, much to the excitement of the grumpy young man.
In the eyes of the people here, the gang is also a kind of work, and they are loyal to the leader of the gang, do some dangerous things for him, and get a stable income for it, which is a job.
Moreover, young people who grow up in this environment will have a gang dream, in their dream that the gang is not evil, it is more like a disciplined rogue organization, positive and righteous, although it is not.
Becoming a gang leader is also one of the children's dreams here.
But his friend took a different view, "We've been caught twice, maybe they'll arrest us again, I don't think those people were easy to mess with yesterday." ”
He was talking about the people who had captured them, and he sensed something in them that was naturally intimidating to him, like a mouse facing a cat.
The grumpy young man sneered disapprovingly, "They are businessmen, and businessmen are most afraid of people like us." ”
"It's true that we're no match for the rich, but when we're not afraid, they're afraid of us. ”
In the Byle Federation, there is no such thing as "the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes", but there is a similar common knowledge - "the rich hate trouble, but the poor are not afraid of trouble".
This is also the reason why there are still so many gangs in the current society, people are forced to do anything in a hurry, and the poor have nothing left, they can bear the serious consequences and take risks, and on the basis of trampling on the law, they can obtain some money by criminal means, and naturally they can also harm others.
Rich people can't, they sometimes prefer to give a small amount of money in exchange for constant stability.
The grumpy young man looked at the blue strap, who was staring at him a little uncomfortably, and nodded stiffly, "I listen to you." ”
"Then it's settled, I'm going to gather the men. The irascible young man made the final decision and immediately got up to find the truck and helpers.
Thanks to their release, there are now young people on the street who want to make a name for themselves willing to follow them, and it is not difficult to find some subordinates.
Blue Strap and the other young man were reluctant to do this, but it got to this point, and if they backed down, tomorrow the whole street would go crazy with jokes about them, and they could say that they were done on this street.
At the call of the irascible young man, they got an old truck that looked like it was about to be scrapped out of nowhere, and then gathered five young people from the street and set off together in the night.
As soon as they left, Lynch got the news, and he was furious.
When he didn't think about what to do with these people, they once again challenged their bottom line, until then he had always treated the world in a special way, but the world was obviously not all good.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, the truck was forced to stop on the road near the warehouse area, and before the young men could resist, they were cleaned up by a group of newly discharged soldiers.
When they woke up, they were already tied to their chairs.
The first to wake up was the Blue Carrier, which was surprising, but it made sense that he was the most physically fit of the bunch.
Although the long hours of physical labor made him miserable, it also gave him a strong physique, and when he woke up from his coma, the sharp pain in his head caused his memory to be briefly confused.
But soon, he remembered, and then his heart sank.
He looked around, it looked like a rudimentary warehouse, and the light bulbs hanging above it swayed slightly in the wind, which made the shadows on the improvised walls around him constantly sway, which looked a little scary.
He looked elsewhere, and his companions were all tied to their chairs like him, and he shouted a few times, and the men gradually woke up.
Just before they knew what was going on, footsteps came from outside that became clearer and clearer, quieting them down.
Lynch stood at the junction of light and darkness, the light not reaching his knees at most, and most of the time only shining through his shiny shoes.
There were also a few young men who were not easy to mess with at first glance and stood by him in a "rest" manner, and these were the same people who cleaned them up at night.
"What should I do with you?", Lynch's voice was a little cold and faint echo in the empty warehouse.
"There is a saying in my hometown, 'A man can be forgiven once, twice, for the same wrong, but he should not do it a third time'. ”
"This is the third time you've planned to steal my warehouse, and I'm not going to forgive you this time. ”
Such familiar scenes and images immediately reminded these young people of the climax of those classic film and television works, and according to their knowledge of those movies and scripts, then these people would raise their guns in the dark and shoot them all one by one.
At this moment, everyone's hairs stood on end, and the blue strap roared even louder, "It's illegal to kill people, you can't do this!"
Someone else told Lynch that first-degree murder is a felony in the Federation, and that killing so many people at once would not escape the review of the death penalty even if Lynch was a rich man.
The reaction of these people made Lynch find very interesting, "I'm not going to kill anyone, I just want to teach you some lessons, let you understand that the world is far from being as beautiful as you think." ”
"Break their calves and teach us young friends a lesson. ”
The sergeant beside him hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to obey the order, first of all, he didn't think it was a wrong thing, and secondly, he was now holding Lynch's job, Lynch was his highest commander, and of course he had to obey the order.
His hesitation was only due to the fact that during the period between enlistment and discharge, he never thought that one day his opponent would be a civilian.
The sergeant walked into the light with a steel pipe that was everywhere here, wearing a scarf to protect against sand and dust, and a common peaked cap, revealing only one of his eyes.
He walked up to the Blue Belt, indifferent to the Blue Belt's pleas, he was not the one who made the decision, he was just the executor.
The blue harness's leg was lifted up by the sergeant, and it was obvious that the blue harness was resistant, he was pleading, still moving, he promised that he would not do these things in the future, the others were begging for him, and some were cursing Lynch.
Lynch didn't react to the voices, and he said to the soldiers beside him, "Go help him." ”
He, referring to the sergeant, was unable to cooperate with the blue strap, making it difficult for him to hit effectively, but fortunately someone helped him.
Another soldier brought another chair and tucked it under the blue strap's legs, keeping his legs level.
Immediately afterwards, the sergeant raised the steel pipe in his hand and swung it vigorously.
It was a very special sound, not like the sound of a broken bone in a TV movie, the sound was so crisp, the sound here was dull, like ...... It was like a dry piece of wood wrapped in a thick piece of cloth that suddenly broke.
There was a thud, followed by a violent scream from the mouth of the blue harness.
The sound of his screams startled the others, who began to run their noses and tears out of fear.
The sergeant looked back at Lynch, he felt his hands tremble a little, but Lynch didn't change, he even lit a cigarette.
"Go on, don't look at me ......"
The sound of continuous fractures resounded in the warehouse, and the guy who scolded the hardest was also treated the most specially.
The grumpy young man has been cursing Lynch in the process, and unlike the others who pleaded, he seemed to be so tough that he even said that he would take revenge.
In order to teach the irascible young man a deeper lesson, both of his kneecaps were completely shattered.
Lynch threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, and the pair of leather shoes worth hundreds of dollars were lifted up and stepped on the cigarette butt.
"Remember, this is the last time, and the next time you will be greeted will be hell!"
