Recently, France has been more eye-catching, making headlines for two consecutive times and successfully attracting the attention of our broad audience. The first time was by Australia to release pigeons, tens of billions of dollars of arms orders were cut off by the United States, before the audience reflected, France broke out a big move, French President Macron said that in the upcoming presidency of the European Union will launch a worldwide abolition of the death penalty. Why do Western countries, led by France, push for the abolition of the death penalty around the world? Today we're going to talk about that.
Since we are talking about the abolition of the death penalty in the West, we have to first understand the following very, very famous Norwegian homicide.
On July 22, 2011, the Norwegian Anders. Breivik first detonated the bomb in front of the Norwegian government building, killing 9 people and injuring more than 30 people on the spot.
Then, taking advantage of the fact that the police had all rushed to the scene of the explosion, Breivik moved to Ute Island, where a group of teenagers were organizing summer camps, and this group of 14- to 18-year-old teenagers were mostly norwegian government officials and the children of the social elite.
Braivik pretended to be a policeman, claiming that he had come on a mission to protect the children, and like a policeman, asked everyone to stand in a row, and then suddenly pulled out a pistol and shot at the crowd. The scene suddenly spiraled out of control, and the frightened crowd fled, and Breivik began his "hunt".
Some of the children climbed the trees, some tried to hide in the stones or bushes, and since Breivik was attacking from one side of the dock, people had to flee to the lake on the other side, while Breivik took out his rifle and chased after them, constantly shooting at the crowd.
The crowds that fled to the lake jumped into the water in panic, and some who could not swim had to rely on the help of their companions or drowned. Breivik first stood on the shore and fired a few shots into the water, then turned to leave, and when the children in the water thought that the demon had left and swam back to the shore, Breivik folded back and began his killing spree.
After that, Breivik continued to search for the target, and soon found a shelter on the island, Breivik rushed to the door lock to shoot two bullet clips, but still could not open the lock, so he gave up, and the 47 young people in the shelter escaped the disaster.
After more than an hour of carnage, Breivik called the police and said he was going to surrender. After hanging up the phone, he did not stop killing, continued to shuttle around the island to search for targets, and looked for wounded people who had not yet lost their breath in the corpses to replenish their guns.
Exactly an hour and a half after the massacre began, the police arrived on Ute Island, and in the face of the police siege, Breivik did not make the slightest resistance and immediately raised his hand and surrendered. The anti-terrorist police faced breivik, who was very obedient, had no reason to shoot and kill on the spot, but had to go forward to control it and arrest him, so far Breivik had caused 77 deaths and more than 300 injuries.
A brutal massacre has finally come to an end, but the drama about human rights has only just begun.
Breivik had an idea about this terrorist act 9 years ago. A right-leaning ideologist, he opposed a range of policies of the Norwegian government, including allowing immigrants, arguing that the Norwegian authorities had betrayed their country. After carefully studying Norwegian law and carefully planning, he began to commit crimes.
At the beginning, the bombing of the government building was actually intended to kill the Norwegian prime minister, and at the same time, the explosion attracted the attention of the police, which also brought a gap to his trip to the island of Yute to carry out the massacre. From targeting the descendants of government officials, to starting cold-blooded and ruthless killings, to taking the initiative to call and surrender, and finally to laying down their weapons and surrendering as soon as they saw the police, all of this was in Breivik's plan.
Norwegian law does not have the death penalty. After his arrest, the lawyer advised Breivik to defend himself on the grounds that he was mentally ill, but breivik objected. He had studied Norwegian law and knew that there was no death penalty in Norway, so even if he was a murderous maniac, he would not be sentenced to death. If the court sentenced him to death, it would be a violation of existing Norwegian law, which would represent the victory that Breivik himself advocated. Breivik even made Nazi gestures in court, branding himself as a hero of the rebels, openly promoting his extreme ideas and clamoring for his own acquittal or death sentence.
In the end, the Norwegian court sentenced Breivik to 21 years in prison, which is also the highest penalty under Norwegian law. When he heard this result, the corners of Breivik's mouth showed an evil smile. You know, even squatting in prison, in the eyes of criminals in our country, it is a luxurious enjoyment, because the Norwegian prison is comparable to a hardcover apartment, his cell has three rooms, can watch DVDs and TV, there is a special gym, the living conditions are quite superior, on this, Breivik is not satisfied, on the grounds of "inhuman treatment", the cream provided by the prosecution prison is not enough to cover bread, only PS2 can play without PS3 or PS4, only cold coffee, no moisturizer, You can only use disposable paper bowls and so on for dinner, and the point is that he actually won the case.
In 2015, Breivik also gave an online lecture in prison and became a college student. The event was also made into a movie called "July 22nd", and interested friends can go to see it.
The Swiss judge said that humane treatment is a fundamental human right, even for murderers and terrorists. This is what the West calls the Virgin, and I confess that on the Virgin, they are second, and no one dares to come first. And what is the final effect of this kind of virgin feeling in the West, the so-called "revenge with virtue"? On March 15, 2019, a shooting in New Zealand killed at least 50 people and injured 50 others, while the suspects even video-streamed their killings on Facebook. Afterwards, the suspect publicly stated that his actions were inspired by Breivik, Norway.
Why, in the face of one after another horrific and vicious cases, should the Western countries, led by France, still unswervingly push for the abolition of the death penalty? I think there are several reasons.
First, religious beliefs. Westerners believe in Catholicism and Christianity, which preach natural human rights and oppose the death penalty. We don't have much to say about religion, so we won't go into it here.
Second, the interests of the nobility. You know, it was never the common people who made the policies and laws of the state, but the nobility and the elite. Historically, the nobles of various European countries are actually relatives and have blood relations, so in history, the kings and emperors of Europe have rarely been killed after being overthrown, which is actually a back road left by the nobles for themselves.
We can compare this with the history of China. In Chinese history, many emperors like Cao Pi and Sima Yan forced the former emperors to give up the throne to themselves, and before that, the former emperor Chan could basically exchange the throne for the end of his life. However, since liu Yu, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty of the Southern And Northern Dynasties, forced the Eastern Jin Emperor Sima Dewen to take the throne and forced Sima Dewen to die, all the usurper emperors would kill the former emperors of the former dynasty, and the first to kill Liu Yu, the former emperor of the Zen dynasty, was also killed by the usurpers.
From here, we can actually see that the abolition of the death penalty is actually a back road left by the aristocracy and political elite for themselves. Being able to become an aristocrat and an elite, who dares to say that they do not have a single unseemly thing on their hands? Who can guarantee that they are not right? With the death-free gold medal, a lot of things can be let go.
Therefore, it does not matter whether the people support the abolition of the death penalty or not, what is important is that the upper class leads the promotion of the abolition of the death penalty, which will be publicized and agitated in various ways to finally achieve their goals.
Of course, there is a small group of people in the public who are naturally very supportive of the abolition of the death penalty, and this group of people are those who like to commit adultery. So some people will say, then this is not a disguised encouragement to them to break the law and commit crimes? Yes or no, what does this have to do with the upper elite? The security of their community is very good, it is just those slums, they are not interested in going to the ghost place of the slums, and where to go, they can bring several bodyguards, can you rapists and robbers grab him? On the contrary, these traitors will certainly vote firmly for their ruling power and become their political assets.
Third, the virginity. Of course, this statement is said on a smaller scale, that is, That Western individuals flaunt their own morals and self-intoxication, while to the larger extent, this is a sharp blade that the West can use to attack our country, and can use the guise of "human rights" to point out our country's policies, so as to stand on the commanding heights of the moral position and infiltrate and attack us ideologically.
We have to admit that the abolition of the death penalty is a general trend on a global scale, and our country itself is gradually cautious in the sentencing of the death penalty. However, the national conditions of each country are different, and what applies to you does not necessarily apply to me, and if imposed, the result will only be counterproductive.
Our country is a large population country, and most of the Western countries are sparsely populated, the same is the abolition of the death penalty, in our country a series of social problems will be far more than the Western countries, for example, many of the prisons in Western countries are private, the increase in criminals from a certain aspect can even be said to increase the financial resources of some interest groups, and in our country, prisons are public government, each additional criminal will increase the corresponding cost of the rule of law, if the death penalty is abolished immediately, the cost of crime is reduced, resulting in an increase in criminal incidents. How many policemen will have to be recruited and how many new prisons will be built? These legal costs alone are enough for us to drink a pot. This is just one example, but in fact the social impact of abolishing the death penalty is far greater than that. Therefore, we must take seriously the sinister intentions of western countries, with a virgin face on the front and a devil's face sharpening the knife on the back.
If the West is willing to abolish the death penalty, it is up to them to abolish it. But if you want to force us to abolish the death penalty, there is no door! You be your virgin, I am my Yama.
