Chapter XXIV: The Bombing
"Damn, this year's spring break is so exciting......"
In New Haven's apartment, Edward slumped on the couch, poured out the money in the box, and didn't count it, just scratched it in two.
"Ferry gave me 20,000 yuan, which was supposed to be used for the event, but I didn't spend a single cent, and I didn't pay it back. One and a half. You pick first, and the rest will be mine. ”
The big black man laughed, "It's ten stacks in total, and you don't have to do that." I don't want that much money, after all, it's your credit. ”
"You're welcome, I see you pleasing to the eye, you look at me pleasing to the eye. It's not easy, and there are many opportunities to get rich together in the future. ”
"You're welcome, then."
"Okay, if you have money, let's eat out for dinner! For a change of taste. ”
"No, Edward, you have to keep your promise, you still cook dinner, let me think, what to eat today? Why don't you have a shredded pork with Beijing sauce, plus eight treasure gourd duck, simple vegetables, and boiling cabbage. ”
"FXXK" Periche's mantra sounded in Edward's mouth, "Damn, the school library is for you to have law reference books!" It's not for you to memorize Chinese recipes! Also boiling water cabbage! You're good at eating! Come buddy, I'll teach you, steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, roasted duck, roasted deer tail," Edward was so angry that he began to talk nonsense.
In the future, I can't live this day, the more the big black man's mouth eats, the more he eats, the more he eats, and it won't take half a year if he can't go down, he really dares to order an aunt's banquet or a Manchu and Han banquet, and at that time he won't go to school, and he will open a Chinese restaurant in New Haven directly, and it is estimated that he will get rich faster.
"Wait, steamed lamb is good, but the grizzly bear is a protected animal and can't be eaten!" The big black man said seriously
Edward was suddenly shocked, "Slow, when will you learn Chinese!" ”
The back of Guankou just now was fast and urgent, if it was heard by the Chinese, most of them would have to praise him, "Dude has Tianjin Wei blood." But Chris understood!
The big black man smiled honestly, "Hehe, I taught myself when I was reading recipes in library management, and I feel okay!" ”
Edward" ...... I want to die to show you. ”
But talking has to count, today is Saturday and there is no class, Edward is torturing each other, you make me feel bad, I have the spirit of making you uncomfortable, and dragged Chris to accompany him to play table tennis.
The poor big black guy is a good player in rugby, basketball, and baseball, but he is helpless in the face of this little table tennis ball.
"Damn, it's a racket, not an Indian tomahawk, don't hold it like that! You know the police will shoot you! ”
Chris heard this, his head was hot, and he slashed with his hand, and the little white ball drew a perfect arc with the whistling wind and went straight to Edward's nose.
"FXXK, are you going to murder?"
Fortunately, the reaction was quick and flashed in time.
"Your Chinese blood really works, this thing is said to be impossible to beat the Chinese in the world." Chris threw his racket on the table, "Let's play basketball......"
"I don't! Last time I was hit by you, my waist is not good! ”
Edward is waiting for Chris's counterattack, although the big black man is usually silent, it doesn't mean that he is like this in front of his best friends, in fact, this guy's mouth is also quite lacking.
If you don't have this talent, people won't be admitted to Yale Law School, sharp teeth are the basic requirements of lawyers, who has ever seen a guy who can't beat a stuffy fart with three fists standing on the defense bench? Unless it's a mute translation.
Chris suddenly stopped talking, and put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture.
The voice from the TV in the corner of the ping-pong room made Edward also startled: "This is the time of the Fake news program, now the breaking news is inserted, just now at about 10:15 in the morning, an explosion occurred in the BLM building at the corner of 56th Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan Central District, the fire caused by the explosion has been extinguished, and the explosion has so far killed one person, seriously injured two people, and slightly injured 13 people." ”
“?!!”
“??!”
The two of them were shocked, Manhattan is the center of New York and even the United States and even the world, and there was a bombing?
"Who did it?" Chris was a little incredulous.
"The Black Panther guys?" Edward's first instinct was those guys who were "doing justice" on the street with saw-short barrel shotguns.
"It's not them," the big black man shook his head, "I've read their pamphlets and attended their rallies, and these guys don't think about going to extremes, in fact, right now they're trying to improve their internal organization and try to become a regularized political party." ”
"So? Are those people in the desert? Edward replied
Before he could answer, the host's sweet voice sounded again: "It is reported that just now the New York City Police Department received an anonymous phone call, the other party claimed that 'the Russian Ministry of Culture should be responsible for the imprisonment and execution of Russian Jews', and the explosion was a protest and revenge against Russia, and the other party claimed to be the Jewish Defense League. ”
"......" Edward was stunned, and just now he wondered who was coming, but it turned out that his own people were doing it.
"The Jewish thugs were better than the Italian gangsters when they fought alone, after all, they only had muscles, and you have this?" As he spoke, the big black man compared his head.
"Damn, I'm Chinese!" Edward was a little annoyed and angry: "My father is Chinese!" ”
"Yes, I confess that the peoples of the world are accustomed to determine racial affiliation by patrilineal descent, but the only exception is the Jews, whom you identify by matrilineal descent." Chris had a wicked smile on his face.
Edward was speechless, the other party was right.
Due to the long period of migration and wandering in Europe, Jews had no choice but to follow their mothers rather than their fathers in order to keep their ancestry stable and traceable, after all, there was no paternity testing technology in ancient times.
The two stopped playing ball and hurried back to the apartment to watch TV.
During this period, although there were demonstrations and demonstrations everywhere, there were also smashing and looting, but the scale was not large, and on the whole it was quite peaceful.
Hansen didn't pay much attention to him anymore, but the group was idle, and they had a lot of fun taking drugs every day.
Anyway, the revolution against the teachers has won a preliminary victory, and from now on there will only be two grades: pass and fail, and if the professors risk the condemnation of the world to give these patriotic young people unsatisfactory grades, then they will not mind another revolution.
After all, if you fail the course, you will be asked to withdraw from the school, so you will be immediately assigned to military service and sent to Vietnam to play with mosquitoes, poisonous insects, bamboo sticks and North Vietnamese soldiers, and the logistics materials are exhausted, and it is already good luck to have a few playboys to vent, even if the magazines usually have the DNA imprint of their predecessors.
WHERE CAN IT COMPARE TO THE CURRENT LITTLE DAY IS COMFORTABLE, THERE ARE GIRLS TO SLEEP, THERE IS WINE TO DRINK, THERE ARE MEDICINES, AND WHEN YOU ARE BORED, YOU CAN FLIRT WITH THE BEAUTIFUL HOST OF FAKE NEWS TV STATION, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LIFE.
By the afternoon, there was a lot of news about the bombings, starting with the "Jewish Defense League" publicly denying its involvement.
Rabbi Mayr Kahani, the founder and current president of the League, was visiting Jerusalem and immediately issued a statement calling the perpetrators "deranged".
The League's vice-president and chief counsel, Polant Zviben, also publicly stated that this was done by the ultra-left forces with the intention of discrediting the League.
Leaders of various Jewish communities then came forward to condemn the bombing, saying that their own communities had never been involved in such horrific acts.
"Things seem to be getting more complicated?" Chris sighed
"It is incomprehensible how there can be such a madman in our country." Edward chimed in, "That girl is pathetic. ”
The only deceased in this case, Alice Connes, was an accountant at the Huruch company in the BLM building, where the explosion took place.
Due to the fully enclosed design of the BLM building, the windows cannot be opened, and the internal air circulation is supported by the building's mechanical ventilation system, when the fire caused by the explosion is raging, and various flammable materials are ignited, the air conditioning system inside the building spews out toxic gases that can kill people.
According to news reports, Alice Cones did not give up on saving herself when the danger came, and when the police found her, she was lying on the floor trying to avoid the choking toxic smoke, and eventually suffocated to death.
"So, do you really think this has anything to do with the Jewish Defence League?" Chris asked again.
"I don't know, but I know the founder of the League, Myr Kahani Rabi, we are neighbors, and he is also my grandfather's subordinate, in charge of a small synagogue."
Immediately, he began to introduce the "Jewish Defence League".
The Polo Park community was a mixed population, with Jews and Italians the largest part of the population, who were known to have a bad eye on each other, and the Jews had a reputation for being "treacherous" all over the world, compared to the handsome, brutal but righteous Italians who were more popular with the rest of the population.
Over time, these non-Jewish gangsters began to form gangs to bully elderly or lonely Jews, and the Jewish Defence League was first established in response to this situation.
In the beginning, in addition to protecting the elderly in the community, the League was not interested in out-of-community affairs, but was keen to deal with the "injustice" problems in the community, such as going to schools to show solidarity with the Jewish teachers who were actually being killed, and setting up barricades in front of a synagogue with legal property rights to prevent blacks from "reclaiming" it and converting it into a Protestant church; occasionally assemble and go out with baseball bats to "persuade" the new ** elements of the United States and so on.
But things changed when the League set its sights on "important matters."
For example, Russia's suppression of Judaism, Israel's suppression by surrounding countries, etc., these "big events" can easily make people lose their way, coupled with the national conditions of freedom of guns in the United States, the whole organization began to become more and more violent, with more and more guns and ammunition.
The League's slogan also evolved from "never happen" to "never happen, [so] every Jew has a shot."
It is conceivable that such a radical organization is difficult to be recognized by the mainstream society, and in fact, it is true, none of the large Jewish communities in the whole country support them, and they are not even willing to have any contact with them, but the more this happens, the more they can attract countless Jewish young people in the second stage of secondary school.
"And what do you think of the 'Jewish Defence League'?" Chris asked.
"If you have enough to eat, if you really have the ability, you can join the IDF with a gun, go to the front line with real knives and guns to fight with your opponents, and hide in New York, the United States, with a gun and swagger through the city, what kind of hero is it? A bunch of mentally impotent guys. The United States is not Russia, and it has never forbidden its own Jews to emigrate to Israel, and even wished that we would all move over" Edward pouted, but unfortunately, the League was still quite influential in the vicinity of the Polo Park community. That's one of the reasons why I rarely go back, they always want to pull me in. ”
