When troubled times use heavy code?
——Watching "Harry Brown" made me think. It's
been a long time since the show was released, and people have been recommending it to watch it. Finally, I found a chance to calm down and watch it, but it's not calm.
This story is very simple. It was so simple that after watching 1/4 of it, I guessed almost all the plots after that, but the anticipation of the trembling old man holding a gun to beat the heads of those young scumbags still strongly attracted me to finish it. .

The following is not like a movie review, but more like a movie that triggers thinking about reality. Don't watch it if you're not interested. After reading, welcome to discuss, but don't insult, respect others, is to respect yourself.

When troubled times use heavy code? After watching it, I was quite disturbed.
British law is relatively sound, people cannot be arrested without evidence, and even a search warrant is required to search for evidence. But the law seems so weak to some cunning senior criminals. When Noel was taken away by the police, he loudly told his mother to ask his uncle to exonerate him. I was like, what kind of person is his uncle? In the end, his uncle was indeed treacherous and ruthless, with no expression, and after a clean and neat result, he did not forget to educate his nephew that murder should be like this, so that people can't get caught. Or maybe from the beginning, his uncle knew that his nephew was the one who killed his friends and friends. Watching his punches and kicks against Brown, he knew that his friend's friendship was nothing but a fart, just a disguise to cover himself. Fortunately, Brown still has a gun.

Look at what the policewoman did to Brown under such a weak law. How can these cops just say "no comment" to the obvious bad guys, but they can't let go of Brown, who is carrying out revenge? I once cursed her in the movie and was killed by Noel's gang, and I knew she knew Brown was right. There is no doubt that I also agree to use violence to control violence, because when the law cannot protect you, you can only take up arms to protect yourself. Lunn had called the police before he was killed. Does calling the police help?

When I saw this, the first thing that came to my mind was "to use a heavy code in troubled times." In ancient criminal law, beheading at Caishikou was also a deterrent to social unrest. At the same time, the execution of the most sinful people in this way is also very pleasing.

However, looking back at the film, the chaos at the beginning caused me to think more about whether our society will also develop in this direction? This scares me a bit. The case of Zheng Minsheng in Nanping led to continuous and in-depth reports by reporters on his community. That community seemed to be such a place with chaotic security and lack of necessary legal management, because it was a "slum". There is also the news community where "the thief was killed by the watchdog and received compensation", which is also an urban-rural fringe with chaotic public security. Such areas are not uncommon in our society. Moreover, the case of "the thief was killed by the watchdog and received compensation" may not have a good social effect. The public security work has not kept up, and the local people still keep dogs to protect the home. On the contrary, the thieves are happy. "I stole and I stole it, and I'll give you a knife if I find it. If you cut me off, you'll have to compensate me so that I don't have to steal elsewhere." Will such absurd logic lead to more imitation effects?

The society we live in is in a period of transition. Various social problems such as "rich second generation", "hatred of the rich", "killing the police" and "revenge on the society" are always like hidden bombs that lead to vicious violence, and also The method of "injustice and debt is owned by the owner" is transformed into the method of "killing innocent and vulnerable groups in order to obtain a sensational effect". Of course, in our society, there will not be a time when the police want to deal with the gangsters and cannot deal with it, because many times there is not enough evidence, and there is enough evidence, and there is no problem in detention for ten days and a half month. In this regard, we say that democracy and the rule of law still need to be improved. But on the other hand, for people with money, especially those with power, police laws show another kind of weakness. Didn't the news of "a female driver run down a traffic policeman with a car" broke out just two days ago? But on purpose, she kept shouting, "I have someone on top of me!" The police are so powerless to treat these groups, let alone ordinary people? I'm not trying to complain about those bastards like Zheng Minsheng, but I'm thinking that perhaps the deeper social roots should be paid attention to in the future. Or when we deal with violent cases of these vulnerable groups with severe sentences, we should also deal with violent cases caused by those who have money and power, and should not be punished financially because of him, hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars. , let it go. There is an old saying that "killing people pays for their lives", "the prince breaks the law and the common people are the same crime", "knowing the law and breaking the law plus one class"! Only in this way, the common people will not think that society is biased and the law is biased.

I remember a recent article in Guangzhou Daily "refuting reporters' concern about the social origins of the Zheng Minsheng phenomenon." It said that the first thing to do is to pay attention to the impact of Zheng Minsheng's phenomenon on society, so you can't complain about him. I think, this person probably has a problem with his mind. First, no one wants to be unfair to Zheng Ming. He kills the weaker and the weaker. No objection. Second, the reporter hopes that through this in-depth report, everyone will pay attention to the root cause of social chaos and hope to improve from the root cause. The so-called symptom treatment also needs to cure the root cause, otherwise, people like Zheng Minsheng will never be killed. To change this kind of chaos, first of all, the people must have a livelihood, something can be born, and there are conditions for their livelihood. Don’t say that there are other people who are worse than him. They can live, but why can’t they? Official, if you live in such a reality, can you live peacefully and happily? Happiness does not require great wealth and wealth, but happiness requires at least a quiet life and the conditions for a quiet life. That's why I said that the creator of the refutation article might be the rich and powerful people who ignore the people's livelihood.

When troubled times use heavy code? First of all, we should pay attention to vulnerable groups and solve their living needs. The neighborhoods shown in "Harry Brown" and the "slums" in various towns can be improved if they are improved into slums, and public security is as important to ZF as other areas. Remember, for the common people, the poor, and even those with money and power, there should be "equality before the law". If Lun had called the police, he wouldn't have been killed, and if the police had worked, Brown wouldn't have to be a lone hero. 76-year-old man, is he easy? It's just because his method is still "the wrongdoer and the debtor", so everyone agrees, if he can't kill the wrongful debtor, or if he agrees with the practices of those gangsters who do wrong, and also use murder to entertain life?
