Chapter 353: Guerrilla War!
353
Referring to Franklin's remarks leading up to the afternoon occupation of the computing center and the evening of school violence, Edward argued that "their speech itself was protected by the First Amendment, because they did not incite immediate violence."
In reference to Franklin's remarks and actions at the computer center when the police ordered the crowd to disperse, it was argued that the Constitution allowed the speaker to argue with the police — to determine whether it was appropriate to let the audience disperse.
Franklin has the right to encourage others to disobey a police order, as long as he is acting in good faith and believes that the order is unlawful.
Unless, the speaker's agitation is clearly and timely at risk of serious bodily harm.
So
"Unless there is conclusive evidence that Franklin incited people to immediate violence against the police. Then this agitation can sufficiently create a clear and immediate danger."
This document is really very unradical.
Of course, he would not have written radical when he killed Edward, he would have presented the image of a conservative, a defender of the Constitution, not a revolutionary or a fundamentalist.
The document merely underscores the ACLU's long-standing position that the Constitution protects free speech — and asks the Professors' Council to apply this set of principles to Franklin's case.
The document also asks university authorities to measure themselves by First Amendment principles, and not to insist that Stanford is a private university and that there are limits to its actions under the Constitution.
The defence did not discuss the facts and circumstances of the case, nor did it draw specific conclusions on it.
This was the continuation of Edward's initial idea, he himself hated Franklin and forced him to defend his innocence in the current environment, which would not only be difficult, but also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The purpose of this opinion is only to tell the outside world and the university that the ACLU's point of view, to put it bluntly, is to appeal to the whole society that Franklin should enjoy his due rights no matter how bad he is.
All citizens are protected by the Constitution.
It is extremely necessary that the procedure is lawful.
As smart as Principal Lyman, after carefully reading this opinion, he also roughly understood Edward's routine - rubbing the heat but not being tough.
What to do with Franklin is a matter of cleaning up the portal within Stanford, and outsiders can't control it.
But! Please pay attention to the appearance of eating!
Don't be dishonest!
The ACLU is responsible for things that are very crude and seem unconstitutional at first glance, and everything else is negotiable
The subsequent hearings were unexpected: the university's experienced team of senior lawyers used measured and measured judicial skills to prosecute the case.
Franklin, for his part, used the hearings as a forum for propaganda and polemics.
As an ACLU-hired lawyer, Edward attended several hearings.
Franklin had a table on one side and a seat at Stanford University on the other.
Franklin surrounded his table with various portraits of revolutionary leaders, which looked like floats on the May Day parade in Moscow.
Because one of the largest of them is a poster of Stalin.
Since the ACLU is on his side in this matter, Paul Bruce invited me to sit at his table.
Edward felt uncomfortable.
As an American lawyer, or an elite conservative lawyer, appearing with Stalin in a grand manner will attract all kinds of rumors, Senator McCarthy has long been hanging, but his ghost still has to come out from time to time.
Edward demanded that Franklin and the others take the things.
"It's our faith, and we're not going to take it," Franklin, John Kaplan, and Paul Rust said in unison.
The addition of the latter two eased the pressure on Edward's shoulders a lot, but in his opinion, these two were not only speculators, but also the purpose of joining did not seem to be pure, which was a bit of a reference to Franklin's name.
But no matter what, his reputation in this case has been earned, and he should share some sweetness with others, besides, this "lawsuit" is destined to lose, and a few more people will accompany him, and there will be less responsibility for his own head in the future.
These two neurology professors, in particular, are very good targets for shirking responsibility.
Since the three men insisted on not taking the portrait down, it was inconvenient for Edward to sit down with them.
He asked for a new desk, a request that was quickly agreed to by the faculty committee.
They also realized that Edward seemed to be normal compared to the three guys, and placed another table next to their table.
Edward had a good sense of humor, and he also brought two posters into the table to display to the public before the hearing began.
The people on my poster have the same surname as the revolutionary hero on the blues poster, but they have different names and different faces.
Grocha Marks (American film actor) and John Lee.
Bruce asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Edward: "This is my Len and my Lenn (Lenn and Lennon have similar pronunciations)"
Of course, Edward didn't want to keep these innocuous posters forever, because the hearing would go on for a long time, and he didn't want the crowd to see him as a member of the circus.
Edward's rhetoric was to show off his sense of humor, but in fact he was making a clear cut with the three guys through this act.
Use posters to structure their red political propaganda.
Don't get red in the U.S.
This was the advice given to him by his grandfather, and at first Edward scoffed at it, believing that the United States was a democracy at least and would not interfere much in the matter of freedom of belief.
Soon he was slapped in the face by realpolitik, and extremely cruel things happened, Hampton, the second-generation leader of the Black Panther Party's hopeful star, was killed on the spot by 14 heavily armed police officers who broke into the door for "resisting with guns".
But Hampton's widow publicly stated at a press conference that Hampton slept very deeply that night.
When the police broke down the door, Hampton's bodyguard was in the living room with a shotgun, and he only had time to shoot the ceiling before the police were killed.
Then the police kicked open the bedroom door, and under such a huge movement, Hampton did not come to his senses, but remained in a state of confusion.
The police didn't care about that, dragged him out of bed and shot him several times in the head!
Hampton's widow said that Hampton was apparently drugged and that she requested an autopsy, in which it was indeed found that Hampton had an unusual barbiturate sedative.
You must know that the reason why Hampton is called the second-generation leader of the hope star of the Black Panther Party is because his personal resume is extremely clean, without any illegal record, and no drug record, but this perfect resume makes him completely different from the previous Huey Newton and Bobby Hill - the government can't catch him with any handle, so his innocent life has become his death for more than 20 years.
An investigation later revealed that the police fired at least 80 shots during the entire attack, while Hampton fired only one, the one fired at the ceiling by his bodyguards.
All evidence suggests that Fred Hampton was "executed" rather than killed in a confrontation with the police.
Subsequently, the California police used a large number of military and police to raid the headquarters of the Black Panther Party, including the SWAT, and used all the helicopters, tanks, and explosives that could be used, and finally forced the participating Black Panther Party members to surrender.
The Black Panther Party collapsed, and the core of the government's big move was that the Black Panther Party was obviously black, but they took the initiative to get red!
So, the Hamptons must die!
(As for how to get red, it was described above, and it was sandwiched...... )
This incident made Edward completely understand the bottom line and lower limit of the current United States, and also made him avoid anything related to red.
What a ghost in the Hamptons!
The police didn't intend to keep him alive from the beginning, they first drugged him unconscious, and then crashed with one shot, without even thinking about arrest, if this thing wasn't planned by Uncle Hoover.
Now his two posters, apparently the best signs, fully illustrate his political position, the successor of capitalism with good roots!
This face is bluer than Douerdun, and it has nothing to do with red.
Can......
John Kaplan and Paul Bruce were on fire, saying that Edward's behavior was not humorous at all!
And reprimanded: "Under a real SH democracy, you will never be allowed to behave like this!" Such an unserious blasphemy of yours will surely be subject to the dictatorship of the iron fist of the people! ”
This made Edward feel very confused and magical, did these two buddies have mental problems or did they no longer be able to distinguish between fantasy and reality?
At the moment, this is clearly a capitalist society through and through!
Edward thought about it, and it was definitely better not to wake up the person who was pretending to be asleep.
Anyway, my goal has been achieved.
The hearings were held for several days in a row.
After that, the seven-member professor committee provided a report of more than 100 pages to the university authorities.
Edward was pleased to find that the report used, at least for the most part, an outline of the opinion paper provided by the ACLU, which he had written, to analyze Franklin's performance in blocking Ambassador Lodge's speech.
In conclusion, there is no evidence that Franklin prevented Lodge's speech.
However, in relation to the Computer Centre incident, the Committee considered that:
"Professor Franklin did deliberately incite the people who instigated the assembly in White Square to illegally occupy the computer center!"
The Professors' Council also found that Franklin incited people to disobey police dispersal orders:
"Franklin did intentionally incite and instigate disobedience to police dispersal orders, an act that clearly increased the risk of arrest and injury to those present."
Finally, the Committee rejected Edward's view of the role of Franklin's lecture that night, arguing that "the Committee recognizes that Professor Franklin has deliberately incited and abetted his audience to engage in activities that undermine the normal course of the University and its surrounding communities, and that such activities endanger the safety of life and property".
According to this report, in the end, seven professors voted 5-2 to approve of President Lehmann's decision to fire Franklin.
This decision is not surprising, Franklin's popularity is really bad.
But it also caused some dissatisfaction, many of Franklin's critics believed that Franklin must be at fault, but the school's handling was indeed too strict, at least he should have stayed on duty to see something, and these opinions were summarized before the committee, and they did not hesitate to rule them out.
So President Lyman and the school board and the Stanford University Trust Board immediately implemented the committee's decision, and Franklin was asked to roll up and get out of the way!
That's the end of things on the bright side.
Edward was finally able to return to the research center to do his favorite work in legal research.
But where is Franklin so easy to be asked?
How can such a conceited person accept the fate of being expelled!
So he immediately returned to the headquarters of the "Victory" organization in Arropardo and held a press conference.
As he spoke, his wife stood aside with an M1 carbine.
There are also a few old Mo who are also guarding the surroundings like this.
Edward saw all this on TV, he kept shaking his head, "This is not right, this Nima is unprofessional, there is no headscarf to cover his head, and he does not cover his face, the most important thing is that this m1 is used for chicken feathers?" AKAK, ak47 is king, it must have a steel magazine with a solid wood butt, and there must be an RPG2 rocket-booster grenade next to it to look authentic! ”
At the press conference, Paul the Bruce jumped high and openly promoted his refusal to accept the verdict of these "liberal *** elements", and he asked people to use violence to answer this verdict.
"There is a limit to my patience, and I certainly think that these professorial councils should not be allowed to continue lecturing in the university!" Bruce swears
"We're going to use guerrilla warfare to continue opposing these *** elements outside of school," Franklin was cursing as well.
But he seems to have forgotten that the most important foothold of guerrilla warfare is to have the support of the people.
Who on the Stanford campus will support them in terms of their virtues?
So much so that the Los Angeles Times reported that the mood on campus for the ruling was "mild" and "sympathetic," but nothing else.
Aside from a small assembly and threats of sabotage, students and teachers returned to their classrooms peacefully, and nothing happened.
Franklin's impact has been minimal.
In the words of Edward's neighbor, Professor Richard Scott, "The Franklin era at Stanford is over." ”
But the actual reason was that Franklin attracted the local police and the FBI because of his words at the press conference......
After all, they forgot that they could mess around like this before, completely under the protection of Stanford, and Principal Lehman always thought that the FBI was more wary than them - Edward also silently agreed, after all, no matter how ruthless Principal Lehman was, it was impossible to pour Franklin with sleeping pills and then drag him out of bed and shoot him to death......
And without the shade of the Stanford tree, the FBI and the police can happily investigate Franklin's threatening words: "Is this a free speech or a real threat?" ”
The investigation is slow......
The Franklins were forced to cooperate.
At the same time, they did not abandon their legal weapons, and Paul Bruce began to sue the capitalist state superior courts, and there were attempts to undermine their shrouded ideals.
But it had nothing to do with Edward anymore.
