Chapter 942 The dish is bad
Nicole, the name of the angry worker, made a two-step plan with his muscles. The first step was to attack an immigrant residence. Although Dulin and the state government provided two residential communities for these immigrants, it was too far from the mainstream industrial and commercial clusters. Most immigrants still lived on the edge of various cities, found a piece of cheap land, and then built simple shacks to live in so that they did not need to take a train to cross the city when they went to work.
The second step was to attack the factory where he worked before. He wanted the manager to understand the consequences of deceiving him and throwing his personal dignity on the ground and trashing it. He wanted all entrepreneurs and immigrants to know that the rules here should be followed in the West.
After almost no conspiracy, more than 20 people rushed to an immigrant's residential area with sticks and some hunting knives. This residential area is on the edge of the city, because the immigrants' attitude of not enjoying it makes them have no requirements for the quality of life. If so, the living cost will be as low as possible. This makes a large number of immigrants live in the most remote, dirtiest, worst and messy place in the city.
And Nicole chose such a gathering place.
When they rushed into this place, they did not find many people. Most of the immigrants who came to the empire from other regions were real labor force. Each of them came to the empire to export labor force in addition to obtaining a residence permit. In fact, in the view of the empire, these immigrants were willing to work by themselves. Their wages were so low, but people never learned what the low wages these people now thought mean in their hometowns.
That is definitely a high salary, comparable to some white-collar workers, so they don't mind taking the initiative to ask for a lower income to get a stable job.
Most of the residential areas under this time are not many people, most of them are working, and at least a very small number of people who are not working for the time being, are sick, or have their families still stay in a simple home.
When Nicole rushed in, they didn't find many people. They came with a sense of hatred and determination. Unexpectedly, they were empty-handed and everyone's anger was not vented after beating several young people. Then some of them suggested burning the rotten house. This suggestion was well matched by others. The houses here were spliced out of wooden structures, and some discarded boards made of other materials such as industrial garbage, which are very easy to cause fire.
They made some torches, lit the first house, and then the second house, and finally the entire residential area shack was almost burning. They laughed in the face of the surging flames, venting their anger and injustice, and felt that their lives had reached their climax. But where they did not notice, some red-eyed immigrants were quietly approaching them.
The battle started, which ended before Nicole's second plan could be implemented.
For these immigrants, it is already very difficult to have a temporary home in the empire. There are many former slaves. Perhaps this place is just a garbage dump for Nicole and others, but for immigrants, it is their hard-won home in the empire. They swallowed their anger and accepted the discriminatory eyes of some people and silently endured some unfair treatment, but all of this is for a reason, because they have a dream to be rooted in the empire and have a home here, even if it is just a simple house.
People who have not experienced these things will never understand that warmth may be cheap, but it can make people survive the cold winter. Now the home that covers their wind and snow is burned out by a group of inexplicable thugs, and all their savings are burned out. The deep despair makes these people unwilling to remain silent, and they have to do what they should do.
In addition to some people staying here, some people ran to nearby factories to inform the immigrant workers. More and more people rushed over with sticks and other things. Nicole and others were surrounded by a group of people and beaten up, and they couldn't even find a place to run.
Originally they were here to vent their negative emotions, but they didn't expect that in the end they became a way to vent.
When the immigrants stopped because they were tired, their faces changed color.
It's dead!
Being beaten by a group of angry workers will never have any good endings. These people are doing the hardest and heaviest jobs in the west with the lowest wages. Even if they were not very strong, this year is enough for them to become stronger. In the group fight, no one will care whether someone who is yelling that he is about to die is really going to die. They will only instinctively make those who are still moving and who can speak and scold people unable to move and cannot open their mouths. Once the factor of bloodthirsty and violence is released, it will be difficult to restrain it again.
In the open space in the crowd, more than a dozen people were lying everywhere, seven of whom were not breathing and lost their heartbeat.
This incident was quickly exposed to the regional police station. After the police arrived, they realized the seriousness of the problem. On the one hand, they brought all participants back to the police station, and on the other hand, they notified the workers' union, as well as the city hall and the state government.
This is a very dangerous case. If a poor handling is done well, it can easily cause a series of social problems. All the people in charge become worried. In the end, Du Lin also knew about this.
"What happened..."
When Dufo said this in Dulin's ear, Dulin was chatting with several guests. On the night of the princess' birthday party, he made a name for himself. The princess's "best gift" directly made Dulin the well-deserved protagonist in the birthday party. With his eagerness and personal charm, and his willingness to abide by the rules and join the game, the aristocratic group easily accepted him.
This was like an absurd and funny stage play. This circle once strictly guarded Du Lin, and even if he made many changes and breakthroughs, it would not be possible for people to accept his existence. But at this moment, these people took the initiative to incorporate him into this circle because he began to abide by the rules of the game. To be honest, Du Lin was surprised by him. He thought it would take a long time for the nobles to accept this fact, but the fact was that aristocrats came to visit him the next day, which made him feel indescribable.
Du Lin smiled and accused him, stood up and walked to the second floor, Du Fu whispered to him in detail what happened in the west.
In fact, no one expected that things would develop to this point. A group of workers who lost their jobs because of the immigrant workers and were unwilling to accept the resettlement of the workers' union decided to cause trouble. They attacked a residence site for foreign immigrants in the city. Westerners have always been accustomed to their own territory. At the same time, these immigrants usually act submissively and very humble. Even if they spit on the roadside, shouting and scolding, they not only would not stop to argue, but would lower their heads and leave quickly. This also made many people feel that these immigrants are very brave, all of them are a group of little chickens, and they would not say anything even if they slapped them.
But this group of immigrants broke out at this time. They killed seven locals. I don’t know who revealed the matter, which has caused some problems. The workers’ union sent a lawyer team to sue all immigrants who participated in the fight and incited public opinion to demand the most severe punishment. On the other hand, some immigrants who are doing well, such as Amon, also spent a lot of money to hire some lawyers to defend those immigrants. This matter fermented rapidly in a very short period of time. It was no longer a conflict between the two groups, but a conflict between two groups of society.
Many people are paying attention to this matter and are eager to know the final result.
If the final trial is biased towards the locals, after all, they burned the immigrant houses in advance, and the surviving participants no longer dared to hide anything when facing such serious consequences, and directly said everything they should say and should not say, including that they went to seek revenge and ignited other people's houses first. This made them fall into a passive state. Many of the general public are illiterate and do not understand the law. They only know what is right and what is wrong, and there is no need for very profound reasons.
If a judge gives a verdict that favors locals in order to protect locals, it will cause uneasiness and panic among the immigrant groups, which will also play a negative role in the empire's immigration policy, and may also intensify the chance of similar phenomena occurring. This is equivalent to telling everyone that immigrants are second-class citizens, and it will not break the law to beat them up and encourage people to commit crimes.
But if the result is biased towards immigrants, there will be a lot of trouble. After all, the group of people just burned the house and did not cause personal injury. They could call the police, but chose the worst way to retaliate and caused the bad result of seven deaths. Once they win in the trial, the conflicts and differences between the two groups will inevitably further intensify and even evolve into more vicious cases. After all, this is the West.
Many problems have not been solved now. Some workers spontaneously started marching, and immigrants also started marching, which was a big deal. The state government hoped that Dulin would intervene in the matter.
Isn’t he going to run for governor? Very well, now he can experience the governor’s working atmosphere, which is what he should do to benefit the West!
Dulin sat in the study and lit a cigarette, thought for a while, and then picked up the phone and called Henry.
This unlucky guy still lives in the west. Of course, he is actually living a good life now. In addition to having many bodyguards around him to prevent the revenge attacks of the Tushen Cult on him, both his father and his elder brother have begun to pay attention to this brother.
