How absurd the social order in the United States is, even those who have only been in the United States for a short time will have all aspects of understanding. Of course, you may think that I have gone a little too far with the word "absurd", chaos, disorder or even out of control, but how can absurdity be used to describe the state of law and order?
Here I will talk about three public security cases that have occurred in the United States in the past few days, three inconspicuous small waves, and then you can judge whether the word absurd is accurate.
Anyway, two days ago in Colorado, three armed thugs robbed a check exchange office, which you can understand as a kind of bank. At that time, they parked their car in front of the bank and rushed into the bank together, and the whole process went smoothly and took only three minutes.
When they left the bank with the booty, they found that the car had been stolen! The three robbers were also caught by the police because they had no means of transportation.
According to the robber's confession, the police soon arrested the car thief, who was only 18 years old but had many years of experience in stealing cars. But the question is, should he be given a light sentence for the crime of car theft because he cooperated with the police to catch the robbers?
Another thing happened in Los Angeles. A guy who drives an Uber pulls a young woman to the airport.
Perhaps because the driver was driving too slowly, or because they had taken a long detour, the two got into an argument, and the young woman threw the driver's phone out of the window. But when the driver stopped to pick up the mobile phone, the woman actually sat in the driver's seat and drove the car away with a puff of smoke.
The helpless driver had no choice but to call the police, and soon after, the police found the abandoned vehicle at the airport gate, and the woman was arrested by the police on charges of robbery shortly after getting off the plane.
But the woman defended herself: "Since the driver can't get me to the airport in time, it's just me." I can't afford to lose tens of thousands of dollars of my contract just because the driver wants to make a few dozen dollars more. "It seems to make sense.
The third occurred in South Carolina, where a six-year-old first-grade girl, resentful of being criticized by her school teacher, secretly stole a pistol from her mother's dresser.
The next day at school, he shot the teacher at school, causing the teacher minor injuries, but was forced to resign due to severe psychological trauma.
Eventually, the girl's mother was sentenced to two years in prison for poor gun keeping, and because she was a single mother, the girl was sent to a welfare home, while the injured teacher took the school district to court, arguing that the school district had neglected to protect the teacher and had not carefully arranged for the aftermath of the injured teacher, and demanded $50 million in damages.
Are these cases absurd enough? Of course, this is just for us spectators, and for Americans, it's just their daily routine. Therefore, we cannot blindly blame the US police for their inaction, because the government's insufficient investment in public order is too unexpected and unpredictable for the perpetrators faced by the US police.
