Chapter 10: Sodom of New Haven
In the afternoon, the reporters who had collected big news here were all preparing to go home, and the antennas on the satellite broadcast began to gradually retract, but suddenly they found that the air was suddenly clear, and they all carried forward the instinct of Western reporters, and quickly rushed from all directions to the student army on the lawn, like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb.
"Hello, I'm the host of the CBS program, Mike Wallace" A big man who doesn't know where he is taller than other reporters, relying on his height advantage to fight his way out of his peers, squeezed in front of Hansen, and handed over the microphone "It seems that a new revolution has broken out here, can you introduce me a few words?" ”
Hansen ignored him, but kept looking around, and suddenly stretched out his hand to greet, "Hi, Megan, come here, I see you!" ”
Immediately, a blonde stunner with three buttons in his shirt open in the spring cold squeezed over, "Hey, Hansen, I'm so glad you remember me?" Ladies and gentlemen, I'm the host of CNN's Today, Megan. There was a great student revolution here this afternoon, but now it seems that there is a new wave, excuse me," he said, handing the microphone to Hansen.
"Tsk, Mu is talking and laughing......" Edward didn't understand why he blurted out a Chinese.
In fact, he is very gifted in languages, in addition to his native English as his mother tongue, his mother was a resident of Germany, and after Hitler came to power, he was forced to live in Shanghai, where he learned Chinese and met his lifelong love.
Upon her return to the United States, she personally taught Edward Jr. German, Chinese, and the Jews' own Hebrew.
Chris is also used to this classmate often talking to himself in various foreign languages.
"We! A criminal act has been discovered, and someone is trying to desecrate the justice of the United States! Let the beacon of democracy lose its brilliance, and let the banner of justice fade completely! ”
In the end, it is the Yale legal elite, the future barrister, Edward's scumbag Hansen is also quite capable, at least his mouth is full of chapters, and his words are very inflammatory, if he can complete his studies and get the lawyer's license, he thinks it will be a good hand to incite the jury in court.
"Some of our government civil servants have blatantly violated the rights of citizens under the Bill of Rights by interfering with the administration of justice by administrative means, trying to create unjust imprisonment and inciting ethnic antagonism! This is a blasphemy against the founding fathers and a violation of the Constitution! ”
"I'll go" Edward sighed again and again, he had underestimated this buddy before, and he had no dry goods at all, but the big hats were thrown out one after another as if he didn't want money.
Not to mention, after careful consideration, I found that these big hats can really be buckled, and it can even be said that they are appropriate, "This buddy should really be a talk show actor or a diplomat." ”
Meghan was also taken aback, and the afternoon scene was also quite hot, but after all, it was the students to the teacher, this group of rabble was extremely arrogant, and their speech was generally restrained, and the choice of words and sentences could be heard to be well thought-out, standardized and rigorous, and they also knew that if they really offended the law professor, they would not have good fruit to eat.
Somewhere like now, these words are enough to throw at McCarthy or Hitler.
A girl handed Hansen a bottle of beer, and the latter took it, poured half a bottle very manly, and recounted the events of Ferry in a mess with the strength of the wine.
In his mouth, the FBI's methods of handling cases are more brutal than the Ku Klux Klan's burning at the stake, and the treacherous New York City prosecutors are far more treacherous than Hideki Tojo.
"No corpses, no murder!"
"So we're going to New York!"
"March to New York for the sake of justice!"
He ended his speech with a great smile.
Edward hurriedly hugged him, "Dear Hansen, you are such a natural leader, my blood is boiling!" ”
"Yes, my blood is boiling," he added vigorously, wondering "why do I have in my head the image of a pre-World War II Japanese captain with glasses?" ”
"Aha! Then march with us, as the guardians of this country, let us sing that, that song, what is the name of that, what you just sang. Go kick the ass of the United States moths! ”
"No, no, calm down, what are we going to New York for? That's their home field, this ghost weather march, it's not a good idea, not to mention" he pointed to the staggering crowd, "what if there is an accident along the way, they are all the future elites of the United States, and we can't lose any of them!" ”
"So what do you say?"
"I think it's almost over, let the reporters make a big deal first, and then let's talk about it, if the other party is still the same, then we will move forward!"
Taking advantage of Hansen's pondering, he took the opportunity to grab the microphone in his hand and jumped up the steps, "I am Edward Young, a first-year student, and the victim of this case is my friend, I thank you for the generosity and righteousness of the future legal elite, and at the same time I am proud of your defense of the spirit of judicial freedom. But it's too late today, and it's still snowing! ”
Sure enough, the fanatical interest of the crowd seemed to have been poured down a lot, and he hit the railroad while it was hot: "Let's recuperate, and then fight to the death against the evil unconstitutional bandits!" ”
"All we can contribute is blood, hard work, sweat, and courage!" After speaking, he made a very sassy gesture with a V-shape.
However, the expected frenzied cheering did not materialize, and he could even feel the enthusiasm of the audience below losing significantly.
???
What's going on? Isn't this sentence a trump card to raise the atmosphere? British and Americans in film and television dramas in the previous life have eaten this set, and Churchill's speech is roughly equivalent to the three shouts of the Russians "Ula".
"Brother, you can't say that, Churchill was a warmonger, or a hereditary aristocrat of FXXK! We are a civilian revolution, how can we be confused with him! Seeing that the situation was not good, Hansen hurriedly leaned on his shoulder and instructed him, "The people here are all anti-war, anti-war, understand?" Regardless of the rest, in short, as long as the war is wrong, we must oppose it, and all those who are in favor of the war are our enemies. ”
!
Edward was so angry that he scolded himself for being a fool, how did he forget about this stubble?
It's 1968, and the Vietnam War is in full swing.
Strictly speaking, the United States has the upper hand, at least on the Indochina Peninsula, where the strength of the world's largest military power is placed, and the North Vietnamese guerrillas are no longer able to compare with the 105mm howitzers on the AC130 gunboat.
The problem lies in the country, where anti-war demonstrations and protests have erupted since the dispatch of troops to Vietnam, and have not abated or stopped over the years, but have intensified, and since last year, the anti-war movement has become more and more vigorous.
The university campus is also not quiet, and the students are not only in class, but also demonstrate, and then they simply throw aside their studies and protest and demonstrate wholeheartedly.
One example of this is Yale Law School's eight-grade grading system, which has become a binary system.
It's not that the college students in 1967 were particularly full of a sense of justice and couldn't see the people of the Third World being bullied, but this year, because of the slow progress of the Vietnam War, the United States government made the first large-scale revision of the conscription system after World War II - college students, including graduate students, are no longer listed as exempt from conscription, and as long as they graduate, they will be included in the military service roster and will be thrown to Vietnam at any time!
Is this worth it?!
Universities were originally a reasonable excuse for children of wealthy families to evade military service.
Although it is true that the people of the United States are patriotic, who wants to go to the humid and hot place, the mosquitoes in the sky and the poisonous snakes underneath, the bamboo sticks under the poisonous snakes, and the bird places with countless cold guns and mines in the woods?
Isn't patriotism loved like this?
Hit the German devils because the mustache expanded all over the world.
They said it was because they blew up Pearl Harbor!
But what did the Vietnamese do?
They don't even have decent warships.
Can you still threaten the safety of the United States?
Aren't they just fighting on their own?
What about our people?
Anti-war has suddenly become the most enthusiastic topic and activity among college students!
Thinking of this, Edward suddenly woke up like a dream.
His natural good brain made him seem to be at ease when dealing with this kind of emergency, and with a roll of his eyes, he grabbed the microphone and shouted with all his strength:
"No lessons, noisy!"
This is the strongest voice of the times, a good slogan has always been concise and full of emotion, these four words are full of emotions and the steaming hormones of youth!
Closing with this most exciting and widespread slogan of the student movement not only perfectly regathered the originally somewhat lost popularity, but also won more support.
"No lessons, noisy!"
"No lessons, noisy!"
"No lessons, noisy!"
"No lessons, noisy!"
The slogan is loud.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Mike Wallace, a reporter for CBS's 60 Minutes, and I am excited to report to you about the revolution in New Haven!"
"I'm the host of CNN's Today, Meghan, and I'll be giving you more in-depth coverage in a minute. I'll be interviewing student leader Hansen in a moment."
……
"Hey, I can't see it, buddy, I usually look like a nerd, but I can talk at this time! Come with me, I'll take you to meet a few girls! ”
Edward shook his head, there are a total of 300 students in the law school, and only 10% are women, as for the quality, it is comparable to the Huaxia Science and Technology School in the previous life, but the old man is so beautiful that he has no culture, and he has not derived a classic ballad like "Ten Turns".
In short, the quality is very bad, and sometimes there are eye-catching, but most of them have an identity, and they don't bother to mess with this group of people on the big lawn, which is the so-called blue-blood family, and everyone is a citizen of the United States on the surface, and their daily lives are clearly distinguished.
"Oh, I see," Hansen blinked thoughtfully, then turned to look at the silent Black Tower Thomas, and suddenly realized.
"So you like this? I can't see that you are really at the forefront of this era! Come, come, I'll introduce you to a few 'friends', and you'll be able to talk." Rugby players like Thomas, in particular, are particularly popular. ”
Although the light was not very bright, Edward could see that someone who had always been taciturn and not afraid of anything was starting to feel uneasy, and the black poker face, which had never been expressionless, was faintly green.
"No, no, no, thank you for your kindness, but I'm afraid you've misunderstood us......" Edward stammered as he explained.
Hell, this is New Haven in the late sixties, and it's not the capital city in the southwest of the country that was famous for floating all over the country in my previous life, but how can it feel that the stakes are just as high?
The two hurriedly fled the lawn like a lost dog, returned to the apartment, and as soon as they entered, Thomas immediately locked the door behind him, and then drew a cross on his chest: "Lord, forgive those who go the wrong way." ”
"It's true, take the wrong road, don't take a good waterway, and be a hero in the dry road." Edward was complaining viciously in his heart, most of the memories of his previous life were lost, but this kind of fragmentary "knowledge" full of national quintessence is remembered very well.
"Could it be that you want to be a talk comedian? But can the people of the United States understand this kind of joke? Scratching his head, he couldn't figure out what arrangements God had for letting him cross back to the low.
Thomas on one side was still muttering, "Lord, please do not forsake me, a lost lamb, for I now feel as if I live in Sodom and Gomorrah, and if you were to be punished, I would have willingly borne it, but I have never turned my back on you." I want to be like Lot and give everything to the Lord."
"Wait, wait, Sodom? This thing sounds familiar! In my previous life, I seemed to have watched a film called "Sodom 120" through pirated VCD, and I had to call 120, and it seems that I really played well.
I forgot what that film was talking about, just remember that the content is exciting! After reading it, the four big men in the dormitory went to the playground collectively and ran for five kilometers, and then took a cold shower, which was able to barely fall asleep, but the next morning, when the four people washed their underwear in the water room, which was called an embarrassment"
When Thomas finished praying, he looked into Edward's inquisitive eyes and thought that the other party was beginning to take an interest in the Bible, so the black man's usual silence began to preach incessantly.
Sodom and Gomorrah are two sinful cities that God wants to destroy.
Abraham interceded with him, and Jehovah relented by offering to spare the city if he could find ten righteous men in the city.
Abraham sent two angels to the city of Sodom, pretending to be strangers, to stay in Lot's house, and that night all the people of Sodom surrounded the house of Lot, demanding that Lot hand over the two "strangers" and "let them do as they pleased."
Lot begged to be replaced by his two daughters, but they still wouldn't allow them.
Eventually, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire and brimstone from heaven because of their "undesirable lusts."
"Thou shalt not sleep with a man as with a woman; This is an abomination, and this is what is clearly stated in the book of Leviticus: "Thomas ends the story with a scripture introduction."
"The lock is ne"
Thomas is no stranger to the foreign words that come out of his roommate's mouth from time to time.
"No, aren't you Jew? Sodom is a story from Genesis, and it's also in your Hebrew Bible. Look at the way you look like it's the first time you've heard it? "Thomas found a problem.
"Uh...... When I go to church, I basically do the stunt of sleeping with my eyes open. Edward snorted.
"Although I was a little frightened, it seems that the goal has been achieved, thanks to the blessing of this group of white lefts, from tonight, Dami Nizo's case is estimated to be a sensation in the United States."
"White Left?" Thomas froze again, and then laughed, "That's a fitting word, Moscow on the Charles River and Leningrad under the elm trees," (Yale's Newhaven is also known as the City of Elms)
"No, no, this group of goods obviously didn't figure it out, in that country, it is an abominable thing, and they have to go to a mental hospital or detention center."
"Well, it seems that they followed the original meaning of the scriptures." Thomas was a little bit of a laid-back look.
"Hey, you are Luo Orthodox Christian, they are Orthodox Christians, each other is a heretic in their eyes, and they are going to be burned at the stake, why do you suddenly admire them? Your master knows that you are so ungodly. Edward continued to complain in his heart, of course he didn't dare to say it, it was not a good habit to complain about other people's religious beliefs to his face, especially since this Heiruda-like believer had a big fist in a vinegar bowl.
After a day of trouble, Edward also felt tired, so he said goodnight and went back to his room to rest.
Lying on the bed, I could faintly hear all kinds of noisy noises coming from the large lawn in the distance, and it was obvious that Hansen and they were up again.
"It's time to call the Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States, and the PM2.5 on the lawn should be off the table." Grunting, he fell asleep.
