Chapter 1342: Mastering the Key Collective Trial
Governor Arnold asked, in fact, he already had an attitude of wanting to give up his interests and settle the matter. He could see very clearly that Tony now had his own vital evidence. If he continues to oppose him like this, then maybe his life's efforts will be in vain. This was not something he was happy to see, so he knew that saying such a thing would be equivalent to bowing his head and admitting defeat, but he still made this choice.
The reason that the big husband can bend and stretch, take a step back and open the sky, don't look at him as an American, in fact, he also understands it in his heart. It's just that the question now is not whether he is willing to admit defeat, but whether Stark is willing to let him go. And for Tony today, he certainly won't want to.
Let him go, it's easy to say. Wouldn't it be nice to let this guy go now, and then wait for him to come back and find himself again? And besides, he's already given these guys a chance. From the time he came to power to the present, he has contacted these guys countless times, hoping that they can stand on his side in the confrontation with capital. But how did they choose? They actually relied on the outdated laws of the past and stood openly on the side of capital to oppose themselves.
Again and again, until these things happened. It can be said that everything today is the result of their own fault. And for such a result, Tony has no sympathy at all, so it is naturally even more impossible to be tolerant of him. So immediately, he smiled at Arnold.
"What do I want to do? I don't want to do anything, I just want to give an account to the innocent people who died in vain. ”
"You're going to give them an account, find those black people! Just go to the Ku Klux Klan who caused the trouble. What are you looking for me! I warn you, don't think that you can convict me of any crime you put on me. It's impossible, my lawyer won't say yes, and neither will the people of South Carolina as a whole. ”
Seeing Tony's attitude, Governor Arnold, who knew that it was impossible to be good, also began to harden his attitude. At this time, he can only be tough, because if he is not tough now, then there will be no chance to be tough in the future. However, such toughness did not win Tony's concessions, but made Tony's words more and more ruthless.
"Whatever you think, Mr. Arnold. All I can tell you here is that you can't escape. Do you think I really don't have any of your handles? You're underestimating me too much, and it's not just these Ku Klux Klan testimonies. All the records of their dealings with you are now in my hands. I can assure you that as long as I take these things out, no one will sympathize with you. How much blood is shed in this ethnic conflict, you will have to pay. Don't forget what I did in Washington before I took office. I've got the blood of those traitors on my hands, and I don't care if I have another one of yours. ”
As soon as these words came out, Governor Arnold was suddenly shocked in his heart. He already remembered the politicians and bureaucrats who were shot in front of the monument in front of the entire American population. Tony treats them mercilessly, so he naturally can't be an exception to himself. This made Governor Arnold, who had always thought that he would not have any worries about his life if he fell into Tony's hands, couldn't help but panic in his heart. If he really wants to kill himself on these charges, then what should he do?
It's not something impossible, it's something that becomes more and more possible the more you think about it. There was a precedent, and Tony had every reason to do so. And the thought of death, the bones of this high-powered politician immediately softened. He didn't want to die, so to live like a dog, he didn't want to die. So after a few hesitations, a few color changes. He finally gritted his teeth and asked Tony with a low brow.
"Don't, don't kill me. I surrender, I throw in the towel. Say, what the hell do you want me to do? What do you want me to do before you let me go? ”
In the face of life and death, few bureaucrats can face it calmly. Governor Arnold is no exception. And when he said that, Tony's face immediately smiled. Because he knew that what he had planned had been done.
It's easy to pull out a governor, but it's impossible to change the situation today. Because as long as those capitalists are willing to invest, they can pull up a second or third governor. In state governments where parliamentarianism is well preserved, there are far more such politicians than three-legged toads. As long as there is a little wind leaking out there, they will definitely sharpen their heads and drill into it. So, just getting rid of a governor doesn't matter at all. If he wants to fight his enemies, he must weaken them at the root.
It's not easy for him to do this kind of thing on his own, but now that Governor Arnold has bowed his head to himself, it's not difficult to say this.
"You'll know what to do."
With a smile, Tony clapped his hands triumphantly. And with his movements, a large group of people had already entered this court.
There are blacks, whites, Asians, and Latinos among these people. Many of them are ethnic representatives from various localities, states and cities. They are followed by reporters from major U.S. news outlets, as well as international news organizations.
The day before Governor Arnold's arrest, Tony had already issued a proclamation to put him on trial for the serious bloodshed in the ethnic conflict. He invited the representatives of the races and the media to be witnesses to the trial, and now is the time for the official start of the show.
The audience is already in place, and the main actors have arrived. So Tony immediately tapped the gavel in his hand, and the whole scene became silent. And he also said at this time to everyone present and the cameras of those media reporters.
"I'm sure you already know what I'm inviting you here for. That's right, here I am going to judge as a judge for those responsible in these two serious bloodsheds. First of all, I would like to introduce you to the two defendants in this trial. ”
"To my left is the criminal gang Lawrence Brothers. They were the main responsible people in the shooting. I'm sure everyone who was there at the time would be able to recognize their identities. On the day of the shooting, they armed with heavy weapons shot at a group of white people gathered in the park, killing 37 people and injuring 112 on the spot. In the process of rescue, 16 people died after ineffective treatment, and more than 20 people are still receiving medical assistance. The six Lawrence brothers were arrested on the spot, and now they are here. I think everyone sitting in the audience and the jury should confirm their identities. ”
As soon as Tony finished introducing his identity, the white man in the audience immediately shouted. Some of them lost friends and loved ones in the conflict, so they were quite emotional. It's fair to say that if it weren't for the intelligence machines there to stop them, they would have rushed up right now and tore these guys alive.
It's a normal reaction, but the blacks and people of color don't look good. Because as they said before in public opinion, white people are victims, and so are they. Now only pulling out the six Lawrence brothers, but not talking about the perpetrators of the tanker truck incident, is clearly biased in favor of those white people.
Inevitably, people of color were in an uproar. In the face of this commotion, Tony first raised an eyebrow, and then immediately knocked on the gavel and shouted.
"Quiet, quiet. Above the courtroom, remain silent. The trial has just begun, and I will give you an explanation, I want you to assure you! ”
With these words, the commotion of the crowd finally fell silent, and this made Tony straighten his face again, and stretched out his right hand, pointing to the group of people on the other side.
"To my right are the Ku Klux Klux Klan leader, the whip and its main leaders. They were the masterminds and masterminds of the tanker bombing, and in the year of the incident, they gathered fanatical party members to drive the tanker truck into the crowd, and used the remote-controlled bombs planted on the tanker truck to cause huge casualties. Hundreds of people were killed in the accident. After the accident, the gang did not voluntarily surrender, but fled into hiding, wanting to escape from the trial of the law. Just yesterday, the Wisdom Machine had already hunted down these people in the place where they were hiding. According to the preliminary trial, all the Ku Klux Klux Klan members involved in the bloodshed have already stood on the trial seat, and I'm sure some of you recognize these guys, so please make sure that they are standing here. ”
As soon as this introduction was made, the colored ethnic groups immediately became noisy like a fried pot, and they made no more noise than the white representatives who had made it before. And in the same way, the white delegates are in a similar position.
Although they are all white, these delegates are not unreasonable. They didn't have the idea of harboring these villains in their hearts, but instead became more disgusted with them after Tony introduced them. Because they knew very well in their hearts that if it weren't for these villains who were in the first place, things would not have been able to develop to such a point of being out of control. If there is a cause for everything, they are the most important one. And that's enough to make these white people who have lost their friends and relatives look at them barely.
Everyone shouts and shouts to kill, and this is the fate of these Ku Klux Klan. Tony was very satisfied with such an end, but he couldn't let the delegates disrupt his plans, so he immediately banged on the gavel and said loudly.
"That's enough, guys. We'll talk about them later, and there's one last prisoner to be introduced. ”
With that, he pointed to Governor Arnold, and said to everyone in his iron-blue face.
"This is the governor of South Carolina, Arnold. Mr. Schward. I think many of the journalists here know him, and I want to tell you here that he is a supporter and abettor of the Ku Klux Klan, and after the incident, it was this gentleman who used his power to shield these villains and let us delay bringing them to justice. Of course, there is an old saying that the French Open is not leaky. Now, he and the criminals he harbored are in a state of flux. So now, we're going to judge them together. Here, I would like to ask the three parties of your defendants, do you plead guilty to the crimes you have committed? ”
