With the rapid development of urbanization, high-rise buildings have sprung up, bringing convenience and prosperity to modern life. However, behind this, the uncivilized behavior of throwing objects from high altitudes often threatens people's lives. Recently, a case of a woman who was detained for throwing excrement from the 10th floor has attracted widespread attention. This is not only a severe punishment for individual behavior, but also a commitment to and defense of the bottom line of social civilization.
It is understood that since June last year, the woman has frequently thrown garbage bags containing feces from the 10th floor to downstairs for nearly a month. This behavior not only seriously pollutes the community environment, but also poses a great safety hazard to the residents passing by. Imagine walking on the road and the sudden fall of excrement from the sky is disgusting, not to mention, if it hits a pedestrian, the consequences are unimaginable. This kind of high-altitude throwing behavior not only violates the rights and interests of others, but also is extremely indifferent to public safety.
It is worth mentioning that in March 2021, the Criminal Law Amendment (11) officially incorporated the crime of "throwing objects from high altitudes" into the criminal law, stipulating that throwing objects from high altitudes from buildings, if the circumstances are serious, will face up to one year imprisonment, criminal detention or public surveillance, and/or a fine. The promulgation of this legal provision has undoubtedly provided a powerful legal weapon for cracking down on high-altitude throwing behavior. The detention of the woman for throwing excrement is the concrete embodiment of this legal provision.
However, legal sanctions are only one of the means, and the real key lies in cultivating citizens' legal awareness and civilized literacy. The repeated prohibition of high-altitude throwing behavior reflects the disregard of some citizens for public order and the rights and interests of others. Therefore, in addition to the severe punishment of the law, we also need to strengthen publicity and education at the source to enhance the public's awareness of civilization and law.
In addition, property management companies and relevant management departments should also strengthen supervision and take practical and effective measures to prevent the occurrence of high-altitude throwing behavior. For example, high-definition surveillance cameras can be installed to monitor and collect evidence from high-altitude throwing objects; at the same time, inspections should be strengthened to discover and stop high-altitude throwing behavior in a timely manner; and residents can also be regularly organized to carry out civilized propaganda and education activities to improve the civilized quality of residents.
In short, the act of throwing objects from high altitudes is a serious violation of public order and the rights and interests of others, and must be severely cracked down. We should start with law, education, management and other aspects to jointly create a safe, civilized and harmonious social environment. Let us work together to protect the safety above our heads, and let the light of civilization illuminate every corner of the city.
