Facing the anger of the crowd in the auditorium, Brooklyn sneered secretly. That's all the Federals can do.

Fan public opinion, lead the topic, and attack the opponent. No matter what, it will eventually evolve into a battle for public opinion.

If it had been before Mark Millay came along, perhaps he would have cared about this, carefully crafting his public image and taking care of it.

For its sake, it was forced to join the battle of public opinion. The result is that they will be defeated by experienced opponents in their familiar field, or they will be caught in a battle for public opinion.

One of the major characteristics of the battle for public opinion is that there are no winners at all. This time he won, and the next time he is dragged into it, his opponent will turn over this melee and attack him.

Even if he wins the battle for public opinion again and again, every time he wins, he will accumulate a flaw, until he is full of flaws, easily defeated, and then encounters the backlash of every battle he has won before.

Because no one is perfect, it is impossible for a real person to win the love of everyone.

And once you participate in the battle for public opinion, in order to win, you must try to win the favor of more people. In order to gain more people's affection, you must constantly revise your public image to suit the 'tastes' of different people.

The consequence of this is that the gap between the public image and the person will become wider and wider, and eventually there will be a complete separation.

What is fake is fake after all. Sooner or later, a fake public image will be revealed, and every lie that has been told to maintain a false and perfect public image will eventually become a flaw in the ontology.

If it had been before Mark Mee arrived, Brooklyn would have been in this mess. But Mark Meere's aggressiveness made Brooklyn realize a truth.

What is false is what is fake. He can't be loved by everyone. Under the statue of Themis that afternoon, Brooklyn suddenly realizes that he can only be invincible if he is his true self.

Because his public image is who he is, everything is true. People who don't like him can have 10,000 excuses not to like him, but people who like him will never leave him.

In the face of the outraging scenes, Brooklyn was calm, and he did not let the conflict further intensify.

Now the 'will of the people' is in the same direction as the principle of law, but the 'will of the people' demands more than the principle of law. The actions of the defendant Jonas have exacerbated the contradictions, and the 'public opinion' has demanded that the jurisprudence impose more punishments than the jurisprudence itself.

This happens to every judge in their career. He would be confronted with a heinous defendant whose actions violently struck the public's simple view of right and wrong, and caused the public to be outraged.

At such times, most judges usually have two options. Weaker judges will choose to conform to the 'public opinion', be coerced by the 'public opinion', make decisions that violate legal principles, and increase the punishment of the defendant until the 'public opinion' is satisfied and the public anger is calmed.

Such a judge is usually praised as a 'good officer' because he fully listens to the 'will of the people', obeys the 'will of the people', and makes choices that are consistent with the 'will of the people'.

But he is not a good judge. In order to maintain the fairness of legal principles, tough judges will go against the 'will of the people' and even protect the defendant and make the choices required by legal principles.

Such a judge is usually regarded as a 'dog official' because he goes against the 'will of the people', he closes his eyes and listens, refuses to obey the 'will of the people', but protects the bad guys and harms the public.

Such a judge is a good judge, but he will be scolded by the people for tens of millions of years and completely nailed to the pillar of shame.

Tough judges usually don't end well. Even if he can bear the surging 'public opinion', his superiors may not be able to bear it, and if his superiors can bear it, the supervision department may not be able to bear it...... There are always people who can't bear it and be what the people call 'good officials'.

For a 'good official', such a judge is just a dish that is delivered to the door in a hurry, and dealing with him can make his reputation reach new heights.

Brooklyn is not a weak character, he can't make the choice of being obedient and obedient when he is forced to press his head, and he does not intend to be a 'dog officer', nailed to the pillar of shame, investigated, dismissed, and spurned by 10,000 people.

He intends to be the handful outside of the 'majority'.

"Before the trial, I declared order." Brooklyn said solemnly.

"Above my courtroom, the auditorium is forbidden to participate in the trial, which undermines court discipline." The dark brown lady was about to open her mouth again, but Brooklyn continued without giving her a chance to speak

Now the woman has come forward to disrupt the order of the court, expressing her dissatisfaction with the choice made by the court to follow the correct procedure, pointing out that such a choice is wrong. The woman asked the court to change the rules to replace the jury members and remove all white people from other ethnicities. ”

"The reason is that this case involves racial discrimination and that jurors of the same skin color as the defendant may shield the defendant."

"Ma'am, can I assume that you are questioning the impartiality of the courts, the objectivity of the federal justice system, and the impartiality and objectivity of the white-skinned jurors on the all-federal jury?"

"If not, why would you conclude that jurors would shield the defendant based on the color of their skin?"

"Why aren't jurors of other ethnicities challenged in this way?"

"Are you really fighting racism?" Brooklyn asked

"Again, it's all jurors, you only question jurors with white skin tones, and you don't question jurors with other skin colors. Even me, the yellow-skinned judge, you have not questioned it. ”

"Why?"

"Isn't this racial discrimination against white skin color?"

"You assume in your heart that other races are fair, that people with white skin will shield 'your own people', that you assume that they will not follow objectivity and justice, and that they cannot fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of federal citizens."

"Isn't that discrimination?"

"Shouldn't the fight against racial discrimination be about equality regardless of colour or ethnicity?"

"Just because of him," Brooklyn pointed to the dock

"Just because he's white-skinned, he's making racist remarks, so you think all white-skinned people are going to be like him. He can represent all white-skinned people. ”

"How do you know?"

"How did you come to this conclusion?"

"Do you have detailed survey data to back up your conclusions?" Brooklyn's voices echoed over Courtroom 9, and the bustle of the scene faded into silence.

Brooklyn paused, then added

"As a judge, I have seen quite a few defendants. They have white skin, black skin, yellow skin, and brown skin. ”

"They have Asians, they have Mexicans, they have Cubans, they have African......"

"As an adult who can think independently, we should know that a person's behavior has nothing to do with his skin color and ethnicity, and that we should focus on the behavior itself, not skin color and ethnicity."

"No, every time someone with white skin bullies a person with black color, they shout that whites enslave blacks."

"Don't shout that black people are criminals every time someone with black skin commits a crime."

"When will you be able to learn to think, like a normal adult, and learn not to elevate individual behavior to the level of a group?"

"This lady disrupted the discipline of the court and openly provoked the judge, that is, myself, and committed one after another less than five minutes after I had just read out the discipline of the court."

"Today I have to punish you. It's not about punishing you because you're brown or because you're a woman. You are punished simply because you have violated court discipline and violated the judge's absolute right to speak. ”

"In my courtroom, there will never be a moment when you are treated differently based on skin color, gender, dress, personality, anything and whatever. I will only discriminate in court because of your actions. ”

"If you are not satisfied with this punishment and think that I am engaging in racial discrimination, or gender discrimination, or whatever kind of discrimination, you can go to the Judicial Conduct Committee and file a complaint against me." Brooklyn's gaze swept from back to front, line by line, before finally landing on Bob.

"For the record, give this woman a 'ticket' for disrupting court discipline, contempt of court, a fine of $300, 10 hours of community service, and a ban on any auditing work until she completes her community service and pays the fine."

"Other people who also disrupt discipline should be recorded and their contact information will be left later, and everyone will have to supervise the trial here, and only those who have violated court discipline will be qualified if they are caught."

"If you have any objections to my punishment, you can go directly to the Judicial Conduct Commission to complain, anonymously, and your real name doesn't matter." Brooklyn said

"I never explain the reasons for the punishment to anyone in contempt of court, this is the first time, and I hope this is the last time."

"Now, those who do not wish to abide by court discipline are requested to leave my courtroom immediately." Brooklyn waited two minutes, and no one was leaving.

He nodded, retracting his gaze and pointing at the dock

"Go on." After this turmoil, the jury selection went smoothly, and when the jury of 12 jurors was selected, and Brooklyn announced that the trial would officially enter the trial stage tomorrow, the long-dormant courtroom erupted like a volcano.

At noon, Brooklyn was blocked by reporters at the entrance of the courthouse. Instead of driving away journalists, he chose to be interviewed.

Brooklyn laughed when reporters told him that the dark brown lady, along with members of anti-racism groups, had threatened to complain after the morning trial that he was a "supporter of racism."

"There are two kinds of people in this world, and I never want to cross paths with them." Brooklyn held up his first finger

"One is that you can't understand what others are saying, and you are only immersed in your own world, thinking that the world is who you think it is." Then he held up a second finger.

"The other is someone I can't communicate with at all."

"My life experience has taught me that when two people intersect, no matter what I say, what I say will eventually become what he wants to be. It doesn't matter what I say, it's what he thinks. ”

"In that case, why should I waste time intersecting with them? Would you try to teach a stone to use a microwave? The reporter shook his head and said again

"But your actions are perceived as protecting Jonas Cinnerdo, protecting a supporter of racism who believes that you, like Jonas Sinardo, are supporters of racism."

"Am I?" Brooklyn asked with a smile

"Do you think I look like me?" The reporter shook his head.

"Frankly, we don't think you're a racist. We agree with what you said in court. ”

"Since I'm not." Brooklyn stalls

"That's enough."

"I'm not a dollar, I can't make everyone like it."

"I'm not God, and I can't make the truth hear for everyone."

"It doesn't matter what kind of person others think I am, it's enough for me to know if I'm not." With that, Brooklyn walked past the reporter and towards the door.

"But for Jonas Sinardo, is it worth it?" The reporter caught up and asked. Brooklyn stopped, turned around and said solemnly

"I'm not doing it for Jonas Sinardo. Rather, it is to maintain the fairness of the judiciary. ”

"Just imagine, if today I agreed to that lady's application and changed the jury. What about next time? ”

"As long as I am not satisfied with the jury, apply for a replacement, otherwise I am discriminating?"

"I'm not going to compromise. Never. Before night, Brooklyn's statement in court caused an uproar.

This time, the judiciary is no longer silent. Less than three hours after the morning trial ended, as many as 73 judges had already stood up for Brooklyn.

By the time the clip of the interview was shown in Brooklyn at noon, there were more than a hundred judges who spoke out.

Immediately afterwards, all kinds of anti-racist civil society groups also came down one after another, holding high the banner of affirmative action against 'anti-racism', and began to fight with your judges.

Seven hours after the end of the trial, the turmoil had spread to the point of surprise to everyone.

State legislators, senators, congressmen, government officials, famous commentators, well-known movie stars, singers, academics, professors, experts, successful business people...... Occurs in e.. The small turmoil in Court Y9 that was dismissed for non-compliance with the judicial process has been growing at a speed that no one expected, and people from all walks of life have been involved.

All must choose a side! Support Brooklyn, or support affirmative action groups! Otherwise, they will be attacked by both sides.

Haven't gotten off work yet, e.. Outside Hoover Avenue there were already more than a dozen marching groups. When the time came to five o'clock in the afternoon, these small marching groups gathered and marched towards E.. Y marches.

When they come to e.. By the time the door was in front of the Y Gate, the team had grown to more than five hundred. Hoover Avenue, the already congested arterial road, was completely blocked.

e.. Everyone was stuck indoors and couldn't leave at all. The dark brown lady changed into a very hometown service, waving a slogan in one hand and holding a megaphone in the other. On the top steps, facing the procession, slogans were shouted.

"We want equality!"

"No to racism!"

"Hand over Brooklyn Lee!"

"Get the racists out of the courts!" In just four sentences and less than 40 words, the goal of the march has changed from a demand for equal rights to a denunciation of Brooklyn.
