The "human flesh occupying the parking space" incident exposed the lack of awareness of the rule of law

In daily life, have you ever encountered a situation where "the car has not arrived, but the person has occupied the parking space"? The topic and video of #Women's Human Flesh Occupying Parking Spaces And Being Forcibly Opened by Cars has spread rapidly on the Internet in the past two days, triggering heated public discussion.

On the evening of January 16, two women stood in the parking lot of an underground public parking lot of a shopping mall in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and a small car in front of them slowly reversed into the parking space. Surprisingly, the two women actually tried to hold the rear of the car with their hands to prevent it from falling, and finally due to the disparity in the strength of the car, the car successfully occupied the parking space (according to the January 17 Jimu News report).

Why do conflicts and disputes arise due to similar acts? Is it because of the lack of regulations, or is it due to inadequate management of public parking lots? And so on. Perhaps, the weak awareness of the rule of law and the disregard for the value of public order and good customs are the fundamental reasons.

What is public order and good customs? In short, public order and good customs. There are only four words, but whether it is the degree of order and law, the principle of human morality, or the indoctrination of virtue, it can be contained in it. It requires that everyone in the social pattern, when realizing their own rights and interests, can embed their individual interests and demands into the social order, be placed in good customs, and encounter problems with less violence and more peace. Looking back at this incident, public parking spaces are public resources and are mainly used to park motor vehicles. If there are no special regulations, the principle of first-come, first-served and orderly parking of vehicles should be adhered to. Otherwise, the rules governing the operation of public parking lots will be broken, and public parking lots may fall into disorderly chaos.

On the other hand, as the police notice said, drivers who knew that someone had forced the car behind them should also accept criticism. Despite its slower speed, its behavior is still dangerous. In the face of uncivilized behavior, peaceful communication should be the first choice, but also through the parking lot administrator coordination and other ways to solve, if the implementation of excessive behavior to implement private remedies, behind the reflection is still the lack of public order and good customs awareness.

The woman occupying the parking space in the video finally chose to call the police, and later the police criticized and educated the two parties for their misconduct. From "occupying a parking space" to police intervention, small incidents have escalated and aroused widespread concern in society.

In a sense, the law is the minimum morality. Establishing a sense of the rule of law and forming a bottom-line thinking is of great significance to cultivating a good moral trend. The lack of awareness of the rule of law is not the crux of such incidents that have aroused widespread concern in society. Therefore, although the incident is small, it cannot be ignored.

In view of this, more work can be done to cultivate citizens' awareness of the rule of law. In October 2019, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Implementation Outline for the Construction of Citizen Morality in the New Era", which requires strengthening the guidance of hot issues in the field of ethics, reasoning by facts, and using cases to be clear, and focusing on enhancing people's awareness of the rule of law, public awareness, rule awareness, and responsibility. On the evening of January 17, the Jiangning Branch of the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau criticized and educated the two sides on their misconduct and published the results of the investigation. Public security organs do not simply "make peace with the mud", but sort out the facts, distinguish between right and wrong, promptly report the results, explain the law and reason, use specific examples to guide the words and deeds of the masses, and vigorously advocate a positive and upward civilized, harmonious and friendly social atmosphere, truly "doing things and people", providing a typical model for the protection of legitimate rights and interests and the maintenance of the rule of law order.

Not paying attention to rules and behaving improperly is not the behavior that a person with a sense of the rule of law should do, let alone a phenomenon that a society under the rule of law should have. From this point of view, in daily social life, we should more declare the value of abiding by public order and cultivate public order and good customs with "social consensus", which is also our original intention and purpose of paying attention to this incident.
