Chapter 166 161 All-Round Siege, Forced Compromise
Chapter 162 161. All-round siege, forced compromise
The USC School of Cinematic Arts, the cradle of many time travelers. ˜”*°•.˜˜.•°*”˜
As an art school, and a school that has supplied a large number of talents to Hollywood, the students here have always been open-minded and are also very keen on the entertainment industry.
Similarly, influenced by the star effect, Facebook's promotion effect here is also very good. Most students are Facebook users, and they are active users.
Just this morning, everyone received a system message.
Now is not the post-era. In order to make profits, manufacturers will accept a large number of advertisements and send a large number of spam and messages.
Pornographic services, credit card processing, financial fraud, etc. pollute the eyes of users.
So when they see the icon light up, almost 100% of people will click it.
Then the matter of Maikou naturally came into view, and finally several options were given, a questionnaire on whether public power was abused.
Students who can go to college, especially famous schools, are generally of high quality, and there is no doubt about what to choose.
Although the wording of this tweet is exquisite, it is not long and cannot give people a full picture of the incident.
Many curious people naturally opened Google and Yahoo to search.
This situation is not only happening at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, but also at major universities such as Princeton, Harvard, and Yale.
In addition to watching and understanding by themselves, students will also communicate with each other, and topics with topics and depth will soon become topics of conversation.
At this time, Eric's second wave of public opinion offensive also arrived.
The first round only reported news related to Michael, but the content was still vague.
The second round was naturally to release the video. The rooster crowed and the world was bright. With the video as evidence, the result was finalized.
Those who were still wavering in the debate changed their positions in an instant, and the Internet was soon filled with condemnations of Tom Schneider and the police, accompanied by criticisms of violent law enforcement and abuse of public power.
People not only criticized the Santa Barbara Police Department, but also gradually escalated to the Santa Barbara City Government.
Everyone began to expose the various abuses of power around them, and the topic spread in all directions, moving towards how to effectively supervise prosecutors.
While criticizing, the public's sympathy for Michael also spread on the Internet, and a large number of people expressed their concern for him and felt unfair for him.
Especially after college students joined, they are the main force of Internet surfing and have a strong sense of justice.
After learning the truth of the matter, they naturally joined this major event. A few hours later, this incident has been topped the topic list.
What Iraq has discovered weapons of mass destruction again, what Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have announced their wedding date again, and what Bush announced that he would hold talks with Lisboa, all of which have greatly reduced their attention.
The forums and chat rooms are all discussing this matter.
As for Michael's black fans, they have been collectively silent at this moment.
The few who are still clamoring that the police breaking the law and Michael Jackson molesting children are two different things, and the former cannot prove that the latter does not exist.
Logically, what they said was right, but in reality, they were immediately criticized, attacked and threatened.
Think about the killing of Floyd by kneeling, which triggered the Black Lives Matter Movement. The police were absolutely violent and committed manslaughter. There is no way to wash this off.
But many people don’t know, or it is deliberately hidden and covered up, that is, Floyd is not a good person, he is a habitual offender.
He has been to prison 6 times and spent 8 years in prison. He has done all kinds of things, such as drug addiction, drug transportation, armed robbery, etc., and he also broke into a house to rob a pregnant woman.
He pointed a gun at the pregnant woman’s belly and forced the other party to hand over money. He could attack a pregnant woman, which shows that Floyd is cruel and ruthless, and he is also a social garbage.
But such a social scum, just because he died, people instantly worshipped him as a great hero and a spiritual idol.
As for his past criminal history, no one dares to mention it anymore. If you mention it, it means you are racist and you will be attacked online.
Please, he is dead, and you still attack him. Do you have any sympathy? Don’t you know what “the dead are the greatest”? Don’t you know what “debts are cancelled after death”?
But after Floyd’s death, his brother, wife and sister opened three accounts to raise funds from the public, completely treating his death as a consumer product.
More than 10 million US dollars were raised, but in the end, there was no grand funeral, and the use of the money was widely questioned.
Even a piece of trash can become a hero and be whitewashed, let alone a positive energy star like Michael who has many fans.
It is very unwise to accuse him of pedophilia at this time, in short, brain drain! This is reality.
Since the latest media reports have not yet been released, not many people know how far the incident has progressed.
So many people thought of Facebook, which is Michael’s only social account now, and he often updates his status.
Those who have an account quickly ran to Michael’s homepage and found that it had not been updated, so they left a message to greet him and asked him to quickly post a status to report his safety.
Those who are not fans clicked to follow, which also led to a sharp increase in the number of Michael’s fans, and the number of fans increased by more than 500,000 in a few hours.
As for those who don't have Facebook accounts, naturally a group of people choose to register, which indirectly brings a group of new users to Facebook.
New York, Times Square, the most prosperous street in Manhattan, is known as the crossroads of the world.
The flow of people here is terrifying. Dozens of millions of people pass by on a street half the size of a football field every day.
Including New York natives, Americans from other places, and tourists from all over the world.
The surrounding high-rise buildings are dotted with advertising screens. This is not only a paradise for luxury accessories, but also a favorite place for advertisers.
The weather is very good today, and the streets are still crowded, with people shopping and talking about something.
Suddenly, the electronic screens that were originally playing different advertisements almost went black. The strange situation immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.
Then the big screens lit up one after another, but this time they showed a video of the police raiding Neverland.
Some people originally thought it was a movie trailer, but the real footage told them that this was real life.
"OMG! What are these people doing? They're going to destroy McQueen's home, oh my god!"
A middle-aged woman in her forties exclaimed that as a fan, her age meant that she was not an enthusiastic internet surfer and she didn’t know about it yet, but now she and her friends all know about it.
"It's so terrible that the prosecutor called Michael Jackson a nigger. He was racist!"
】
A man in a black suit shouted angrily.
"Don't you know yet? Go online and take a look. The Internet is already full of this matter, and the TV station will definitely follow up soon."
If Facebook mainly fuels the trend among college students, then the advertisements of these landmark buildings arouse social attention.
The crowd attracted has also expanded from young people to the working class, and there are more and more loyal fans of Mykou in this class.
In addition to New York, the same situation is also happening in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Detroit, Salt Lake City and other places.
Eric spent a lot of money this time, and it was no less than the cost of public relations for an Oscar-winning film.
But money is not important, results are important. It is important for people to know that I am not easy to mess with, and my friends are also not easy to mess with.
When the time comes to noon, almost every TV station has the tradition of broadcasting the midday news.
On Fox TV, the female host had just finished broadcasting a somewhat funny news piece, and her expression suddenly turned solemn.
"Now a piece of news for everyone. Just yesterday, Santa Barbara City Attorney Tom Schneider led dozens of police officers to search Neverland Ranch on the grounds of a child molestation case."
"The law enforcement process was characterized by violence and discrimination, causing severe damage to Michael Jackson's private property and using discriminatory epithets against him."
"Michael Jackson himself was taken to the police station for questioning around 6 pm yesterday, but the police again used violence during the enforcement process, causing injuries to both Jackson's arms."
"Please see the video of the shooting below."
The video edited out some of the most violent passages, and also included an interview with Tom Schneider. His vows at the beginning were in stark contrast to his pale face at the end.
Especially the part where he said he swore with his badge was extremely embarrassing and disgusting.
After the video was played, the female host stared at the camera with a serious face: "I believe the video has proven everything, so we can't help but ask, did Prosecutor Tom Schneider break the law? Did the Santa Barbara Police Department break the law?"
"Fox News will continue to pay attention to whether the unfair treatment Michael Jackson suffered was because of the child molestation case without evidence or because of his skin color."
NBC News Channel: "There is no doubt that this was a premeditated violent law enforcement operation. The abuse of power is irrefutable. We have not yet received any information about the response of the Santa Barbara City Government."
CBS TV station: "Prosecutors have long had a transcendent status in the judicial system. This incident is obviously an example of how prosecutors' powers are difficult to supervise and are abused. This incident should sound a wake-up call to the entire judicial system!"
ABC News Channel: "Even public figures like Michael Jackson will encounter violent law enforcement. You can imagine the dilemma of ordinary people defending their rights after encountering it. We must find effective ways to avoid similar incidents from happening."
The TV news broadcast further expanded the incident, but it was not over yet.
In the afternoon, the newspapers' public opinion offensive came in relay, and the major evening newspapers made a collective effort.
Moreover, unlike live broadcasts on TV stations, many newspapers still maintain basic restraint. Instead, newspapers directly start spraying, and the angle of taking sides is very obvious.
And in order to attract attention and highlight the features, the angles chosen are also different.
Some used Tom Schneider's pale face being held up as a cover, and some used McBride showing the scars on his arms as a cover.
The most unique thing is that the Independent newspaper used two Playboy magazines as the cover. At first glance, I thought it was to promote the magazine.
The Independent: “Not only was there no evidence of child molestation found in Michael Jackson’s home, but two collector’s editions of Playboy were found in his bedroom.”
"So does it prove in reverse that Jackson is a person with a normal sexual orientation, and he also likes blond hair, blue eyes and big waves, just like any normal adult man."
At night, in Neverland, Eric couldn't help laughing while reading the newspaper.
"McCho, why do you have this issue of Madonna's Playboy in your collection?"
Maikou covered his face in embarrassment: "I just saw it by chance, and then I bought it. I forgot about it for several years."
"Really? Then you're still hiding in the bedroom?" Eric asked teasingly.
"If it's not in the bedroom, it can't be in the collection room. Little Elizabeth has visited it. It's not suitable for children."
"Well, what you said seems to make sense, but I always feel something is wrong."
Lawyer Meserio walked in: "Good news, Mike, the current situation is very favorable to us, and public opinion is overwhelmingly in our favor."
"I just received news that several California legislators have criticized Tom Schneider and asked the Santa Barbara City Government to respond quickly."
"We are in an absolute advantage this time. Both pro-Republican and pro-Democratic media are on our side."
"And they can't produce any evidence to refute it. The general trend has been established, and public opinion is surging. The Santa Barbara City Government will soon be unable to bear it."
"I think there will be preliminary results in three days at most, or tomorrow. Many people have already gone to the door of the city government to protest with signs."
As he said, he opened his notebook and saw that the Santa Barbara City Government was still brightly lit at night, and dozens of people protested and did not leave.
Eric sneered: "These officials are probably discussing how to deal with Tom Schneider. Let's just wait and see."
"Should I do something too? Many media have sent interview invitations." Michael asked.
"Accept it. Let's pick a big stage. You can exaggerate your experience and bring it up to the case itself. This is a great opportunity. It will allow everyone to get to know you better and win a lot of favor and sympathy."
"But don't accept the Oprah talk show. Although that woman is also black, she is not a good person. She is a discriminator who lies all the time."
Michael nodded: "Eric, and you should ask your people to stop. Now that so many media have been involved, you'd better stop it quickly, hide yourself, and protect yourself."
Eric looked at him: "Don't worry, Michael. Everyone knows the relationship between the two of us. Some things can't be hidden, and there's no need to hide them."
"As long as someone with ulterior motives investigates, I can't hide it even if I want to, but at least no one dares to do it now. They have to wait until the wave passes."
"And don't forget that your trial is at the end of the month, so make a fuss for a few more days. I want to keep the heat up until the trial."
"Just think of it as our outpost against Sony. That guy is our ultimate target, and he's even harder to deal with!"
