America's Big Hero

"So, it's better to act first, and then to suffer."

"anything else?"

"There is also an excuse, if Murdoch repudiates, I can't gain nothing, no." Xiao En blew and took a sip. He likes to drink black tea, "I didn't know until Le Huizhen asked this question." I suddenly found that such pirated products are rarely seen in the US market."

"Whether it's the eight major movie companies, the major record companies, or the major publishing houses, everyone is tacitly staring at the piracy market, and the crackdown is far more severe than drug abuse."

"Actually, if it's just to clean up Murdoch, I can let the Chinese gangs all over the world help me spread this stuff in other places, but..."

"So you thought of threatening the Seven Big Companies!" Lorraine reacted.

"Smart!" Sean stretched out his hand and picked Lorraine's chin. "The seven big companies have always tripped me up, openly and secretly. This time, I will show them a color, and if you fucking provoke me, I will blow them up." No one can even think about having a good meal.”

"You are not afraid that they will join forces to deal with you. You are ruining your job." Lorraine was a little worried.

"To be precise, it was smashed, but it wasn't completely smashed." Sean laughed and said, "This is equivalent to a nuclear weapon. It doesn't have to be thrown out, but it can make people sit down and have a good talk with you."

"You have more ideas." Lorraine rolled her eyes, making her worry in vain.

Sean laughed out loud, and grabbed Lorraine's waist and was about to kiss him. Lorraine pushed Sean away as if he had been electrocuted and jumped up, "Stop trying to think of me, and go find your women."

After all, he turned around and left.

Sean laughed loudly on the sofa, and Elizabeth, who was hiding aside, had a look of jealousy on her face.

Beckoning, Elizabeth came over and pinched Sean's leg, and Sean picked up the phone and called Lao Huang.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xiao, for stepping into the ranks of the eight major Hollywood companies." As soon as he answered the phone, Lao Huang smiled and congratulated. These guys are so well-informed.

Of course, the news spread across the upper echelons of Hollywood overnight.

Sean led people to make a fuss, and the seven major companies reluctantly accepted Sean.

"Hahaha, Tongxi, Tongxi, please help me thank the bosses of the various gangs. If I have time, I will treat you."

"OK, no problem."

"By the way, let me tell you that those tapes should not appear in North America again. I will pay double the exact amount of loss. It is not free for me to enter the Eighth National Congress. It is necessary to ensure that there will be no more pirated video tapes in the market."

"Wow, you are killing a donkey."

"It's an exaggeration. Originally, it would not be allowed to appear in the market. It's just that their methods are relatively mild. Those tapes don't need to be destroyed. They can be thrown in foreign markets."

"Okay, it's not a big problem." The old man Huang agreed, "By the way, when you have time to come to New York, I have a large number of antiques here, all of which you like."

"Okay, keep it for me, I'll be there in two days!" Sean said happily.

He really likes Chinese antiques, from furniture to porcelain, from calligraphy and painting to jade, and he never refuses anyone.

He built a private museum dedicated to preserving these antiques.

Letting those cultural treasures fall into the hands of foreigners, he always felt reckless.

Whenever this time comes, he doesn't consider himself a foreigner.

It's just that Xiao En has nothing to do with Southeast Asia in China, and he can't get so many antiques, so he relies on Lao Huang's help.

……

Just as Sean was establishing himself in Hollywood, the Ku Klux Klan was in action.

In fact, what Sean didn't know was that his video was released by the Ku Klux Klan in order to distract the traffic of the Rod King incident.

It's just that Murdoch doesn't want to cooperate.

One night, a man walked into the home of Stanley Weisberg.

Stanley Weisberg, the Los Angeles County judge, is also the judge responsible for the trial of the four white police officers.

"As you know, it's useless to find me. I'm just a judge, and I can only be responsible for convicting, and the jury has the right to judge whether they are guilty or not." Stanley Weisberg expressed helplessness.

"Of course, we understand this very well." The visitor said with a smile.

Because of Rod King's indictment, four white police officers will face trial, and because of the widespread attention this incident has attracted, the jury configuration for this trial will be a grand jury.

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, and its ethnic composition is very complex. Whites account for only about 65%. Once the grand jury is opened, nearly half of the jury members will inevitably be from ethnic minorities.

Whether black or Latino, white supremacy groups cannot attack them.

Because the unrestricted expansion of the situation has attracted widespread attention from the American people, let alone American laws are not affected by public opinion.

The influence is definitely there.

There are currently two voices in the United States.

First, the judicial system.

The current situation is that Rhodes has indeed committed a crime. According to the judicial system, if the judiciary is to be independent, the trial must be conducted according to existing steps and its own logic, and cannot be influenced by public sentiment and public opinion.

Second, the moral system.

This is the moral court of the general public guided by public opinion. They not only demand Rodney’s acquittal, but also demand severe punishment for those police officers who enforce the law with violence, and then reform the entire judicial system and change the excessive authority (not power) of the police system. , and the serious discrimination against black law enforcement.

At present, the evaluation of the moral system is extremely unfavorable to the four policemen, and in the judicial system, if strictly speaking, the four people do have abuse of violence, beatings, and racial discrimination.

Therefore, if you want to win this victory of 'white supremacy' VS 'equal rights', you can only transfer the trial site.

"When the court opens in two days, the defendant's defense lawyer will have a proposal..."

……

In court, Stanley Weisberg sat upright, expressionless.

The grand jury sat with 23 people, whites, blacks, Latinos, Asians, and they were clearly divided.

Hundreds of people sat below to watch.

The defendant's lawyer stood up and said loudly: "In view of the high exposure rate of this case, the public opinion is very unfavorable to the defendant. We believe that if we insist on trying it in Los Angeles, everyone will inevitably be affected by public opinion." , it is difficult to make the most fair trial from an absolutely neutral perspective."

"Therefore, we propose that the case should be transferred to other neutral regions for trial."

From a practical point of view, this request is reasonable, and from a legal point of view, this request is also legal.

Because, in theory, no matter where the trial takes place, there will be no change in the law, so the result should be the same.

And a theory is always just a theory.

As for whether to agree to the transfer, it is up to the jury to decide, which is the power of the judge.

Stanley Weisberg nodded in agreement after pretending to ponder.

As for where the case will be handed over for trial, that is up to the court system.

There are only two black judges in the Los Angeles area, and their opinions don't matter at all.

In the end, the venue of the trial was placed in Simi Valley, a small town not far from Los Angeles County.

Simi Valley is a white-populated area. It is relatively conservative, with strong traditional forces and traditional concepts. They naturally support the police's law enforcement actions and have deep-rooted prejudice against black people...

Sure enough, as soon as the case was transferred, a small jury of 12 people was formed there. Among the jury members, there were 10 whites, 1 Latino, and 1 Asian (Korean).

As soon as the news was released, major TV stations began to report frantically.

"The Rod King case was transferred to Simi Valley City. The population composition of Simi Valley City... It is reported that Simi Valley has formed a jury of 12 people, of which 10 are white... The above is from the New Century Media report."

Theoretically, TV stations must maintain fairness and openness, at least not be too obviously biased, so the reports of major TV stations are almost the same as those of New Century.

There is no mention of "racial discrimination" or "white supremacy" throughout the article, but anyone who reads the report will involuntarily think of one thing. The trial of the Rod King case in Simi Valley City will definitely be unfair. treatment.

……

"Of course, how can I forget that I'm a white man, and of course I can't support those niggers." Lying on the sofa, Sean swayed his legs and said with the phone in his hand.

Beside, Lorraine cast a sideways glance and ignored it.

On the other hand, Guan Hai frowned. He felt uncomfortable when he heard the word nigger. He didn't know that the Rod King incident was planned by Sean. Except for Jonas, few people knew about it.

Torre saw Brother Guanhai's awkwardness, smiled and patted his shoulder and shook his head.

"It's really hard for me to control the TV station. It's not my excuse."

The call was from a public relations company. Sean knew them. It was an outreach company that specialized in serving white supremacist organizations. Of course, there was no connection on the surface.

"Our TV station is at a critical moment in its development. It is impossible not to report on this kind of social hot issue. Not reporting is itself a statement. Isn't this jumping into the fire pit?"

"Besides, KTLA TV station is reporting, and the three major TV networks are reporting. It doesn't matter whether I report here or not."

"Finally, the ownership of the TV station is complicated, and the personnel are even more complicated. If I express my opinion, it will be reported immediately."

"Of course, of course, don't worry, I will order to respect the facts in the direction of the report, not to be biased, and not to guide."

"My side will donate another 50 yuan, hoping that the four police officers will be treated fairly."

"Okay, that's it." Sean hung up the phone and threw the phone to Norris.

Looking at Guan Hai, Xiao En said with a smile: "Why, you heard me say that the nigger is angry?"

"No!" Guan Hai grinned.

"It's okay to be angry." Sean laughed, "Do you know who called?"

Without Guan Hai answering, Sean said by himself: "A public relations company, they specialize in serving white supremacist organizations everywhere, and can contact all upper-class white people in the entire United States."

"This is a scattered, loose organization with extremely deep relationships."

"This time the Rhodes case was brought to the Simi Valley trial because they were working behind the scenes. They felt that it was unfair, and it was indeed unfair, but this is the reality."

"In politics, you are naturally on the side of black people, and black people will definitely support you. This is determined by race, but at the same time, you will definitely be backlashed."

"This force is so strong that although I don't support white supremacy, I must show support for them and donate money to them. You have to learn to bear it and don't think about overthrowing it. Reality, join in, and then figure out how to find the gaps and holes."

"I want to stay in Los Angeles and help those people." Guan Hai thought for a while, but still said what was in his heart.

"Don't!" Sean quickly waved his hand, "The water here is too deep, you can't hold it."

Sean was taken aback, don't worry about rioting in the end and killing a good president, then he will lose a lot of money.

"Moreover, Los Angeles is not a good place to debut. There are too few black people there. You can choose places, such as Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit. If you have an advantage, you have to take advantage of it, because whether you use it or not, you should not like you. won't like you."

"But New York can't, the water there is too deep, and New York hasn't seen...politicians for too many years." Sean almost said the word president, but fortunately, he reacted quickly.

"How's your Harvard law business going?" Sean changed the subject.

"I have already passed the exam, but if I go to study, I can't..."

"Go, this matter can't be delayed. You must get a doctorate in law from Harvard. It happens to be in Boston. It is a white man's world and the place with the most serious racial discrimination. You have to get used to this kind of thing, this feeling, if this If you can’t pass every level, then you will have no chance to make your way in politics in the future.”

"I see." Guan Hai took a deep breath and nodded.

"Don't worry about the expenses. I will help arrange the expenses at your house. Don't lack the communication you need, and don't feel inferior. You stand behind you and think you are super rich." Sean patted Guan Hai on the shoulder.

……

In the afternoon, Jonas sneaked over.

"How, have you met Rhodes?" Sean asked with a smile.

"I met privately last night. He was beaten badly. Damn, he can only move around in a wheelchair for the time being." Jonas looked a little ugly.

Still, being in a wheelchair is fine, it looks a little bit more miserable and evokes more sympathy.

"Is your mood still stable?"

"Not bad, after all, they are all psychologically prepared."

"Well, that's good, stop contacting lawyers and human rights organizations."

"I haven't been in touch, but they contacted me, hoping to get more money and better lawyers to bring justice to Rhodes."

"Don't be kidding, get him a fantasy lineup, if this guy really wins, then everything will be ruined." Sean shook his head, "We have to find a way to make the court open as soon as possible."

"Now that the emotions are officially at their peak, it has been delayed for a year and a half. It may not be useful."

"Delay, you mean the white organization will find a way to delay?" Jonas was taken aback.

"It's just a usual method. Make big things small, small things small, political wisdom." Sean pursed his lips and nodded. After thinking for a while, he grabbed the phone and called Pete Chernin.

"Peter, the last person has contacted you."

"Who are you talking about?" Pete was taken aback.

"Those guys from the Ku Klux Klan."

"Uh, yes, but I refused. This matter is a hot topic in the news, and it is impossible not to report it."

"Well, in this way, more interviews with black people have been arranged recently. People in Los Angeles and other places can be interviewed. Now this matter is a traffic code. Don't forget to go to Simi Valley to do interviews."

"Simi Valley City?" Pete can understand the interview with black people, but what is Simi Valley interviewing?
