Chapter 273 (1/2)

Around 8 p.m., the street at the entrance of Gotham police station was full of demonstrators and journalists. (

people hold up signs and shout slogans. There are many slogans on the sign for director Gordon, such as ”Gordon leaves office”, ”Gordon must go away”, and other slogans include ”dereliction of duty”, ”bat go away”, ”hang them”, etc

When Gordon appeared in the street, a large group of reporters gathered around him and explored the microphone, recording pen, lens and light. Several sharp questions were thrown at Gordon.

”It is said that 15 more policemen resigned today. Is that true?”

”How long does it take for the streets to get back to normal?”

”Who is responsible for the loss of the bank robbery today?”

”How do you explain to the families of the dead police officers, and how did the famous man slip away from the eyes of the police?”

”Mr. chief, have criminal forces infiltrated the police?”

”Have the police been threatened by gangs?”

”Should you consider resigning, director Gordon?”

In this world, there are many people who think they are very smart, think they are such a great person, think their life and career are so meaningful.

In fact, it's all shit.

In the United States, most journalists tend to inflate themselves. They think they have guided the public opinion tendency of the society and changed the fate of others. They think they are better and more knowledgeable than the general public. They make irresponsible statements all day long, use their position convenience and professional knowledge to distort the facts, and win high social status, attention and interests for themselves.

For this reason, they do not hesitate to destroy the reputation and life of others.

In the eyes of others, these people are self righteous demons, disgusting. But they themselves are complacent all day long. I don't know, a sense of social mission burst.

But in fact, they are not superior. It's just an illusion. If these people go from the back of the camera to the front of the camera, from the reporter to the reported, they will immediately realize what they are.

When their petty right of gossiping is taken away, they are just a group of agitators under the hypocrisy. This is a group of people who have existed since the dark ages in the middle ages. They are described in the Bible as one of the omens of the end of the world.

From the moment these people impose their views and positions on others. They have forgotten the nature of the profession. When a bystander or a recorder crosses an invisible boundary, he will go further and further, and eventually become a liar or a fabricator who does everything for the purpose of attracting eyeballs.

Most of the reporters in Gotham are like this.

As for the citizens of Gotham City, let me quote a passage from Maupassant's ”Orla” -

”the common people are like a group of low-powered cattle. Sometimes it's almost stupid to be submissive, sometimes it's almost rebellious to be grumpy. ”You celebrate!” was the order They obeyed; then they were ordered to ”go to war with your neighbors!” They obey, too. When they were ordered to support the emperor, they kowtowed; then when they were ordered to support the Republic, they cheered.

Those who control the people are equally stupid, but they are not subject to a certain master, but to certain principles. Because these principles are principles, they must be absurd and false. Because they want to establish certain immutable ideas, and there is nothing immutable in this world - what we see and what we hear are illusions. ”

Our chief Gordon is the cattle Herder.
