The "Los Angeles Massacre" not only shocked the Americas, but also shocked Europe. Most countries, including France and the United Kingdom, issued official statements blaming the thugs for their atrocities, but they also believed that the United States, as a "civilized country,"

This matter will be handled properly.

Of course, if it were in the past, no one would care about the life and death of Chinese people at all, but it is different now.

With Ming, everything is different from the past. In the past, no one cared, but now Ming cares!

If Daming cares, others must care.

Regarding such changes, Guo Songtao, as the minister to the United Kingdom, was deeply touched. However, facing the Ming Dynasty's aggressive decision to uphold justice for the Chinese, as the minister, he was a little embarrassed, because those people were from the Ming Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty passed by!

He was even more embarrassed when a reporter asked him how the Qing Dynasty would handle the matter.

how to answer?

Protect expats?

I, the Qing Dynasty, am "invincible", not "invincible in the world". Protection? What kind of protection? In fact, if this matter hadn't caused such a fuss, the Qing Dynasty would have just closed its eyes and turned a blind eye.

Then this incident didn't happen. But now it can't be done. People are coming to ask questions, and they must be answered.

"We believe that the United States of America will handle it fairly according to the law!"

Fair disposal!

Yes, the United States is a civilized country governed by law. At least in the eyes of Europeans, the United States is civilized, governed by law, and...

So, they all seem to believe that it will eventually be resolved within the confines of the law.

Amid accusations from various European countries, a trial presided over by federal judge Hale began in a Los Angeles court. Under pressure, the Los Angeles prosecutors charged nine white thugs with "manslaughter."

"...I rushed in bravely and saw a Chinese man with a gunshot wound. Then I was attacked with a gun. In the end, I had to retreat and lost the gun."

In the court, Officer Jesse Beardland was present as a witness. In fact, many thugs were present as witnesses. All their testimonies told a lie-the Chinese were killed in internal fighting.

Robert Thompson attempted to break up the fight and assaulted the officer.

"Officer Beardland, according to the evidence we collected, you were in Yuan's grocery store when the incident occurred. There is evidence that you and Robert Thompson and others went to his grocery store to blackmail them, right?"

As soon as the lawyer finished speaking, the courtroom burst into boos, and even the jurors booed. Although the judge was sent by the federal government, the jurors were all selected locally.

Facing the boos in the courtroom, Hale, as a judge, felt helpless. There is no doubt that this was an atrocity - 18 of the 172 Chinese who were kidnapped died. The number of dead accounted for the total number of Chinese in Los Angeles.

It was more than 10% of the population. Moreover, the total population of Los Angeles at this time was only more than 5,000, and the death toll accounted for 0.36% of the total population. In terms of proportion, it was already a lot.

This is an absolute massacre.

But the problem is, no one cares about them, at least in Los Angeles, or even in California, no one cares about the life or death of these Chinese. Even the prosecutors are very perfunctory and charge them with "manslaughter".

As a federal judge, he was very helpless about this. Although he tried to ask the prosecutor to charge "intentional homicide", he was rejected by the other party.

"I really can't find any trace of intentionality!"

From prosecutors to jurors to the citizens of Los Angeles, no one was sad about the killing of Chinese people. They would even talk about the massacre that day excitedly. Many people felt regretful that they could not kill more Chinese people.

This is a trial with a determined outcome.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, the nine criminals who were finally brought to court only received prison sentences of 2-6 years. Their charges were not murder, but manslaughter.

When the result of this trial was announced, there were boos in the court, and Hale, a federal judge, said directly.

"This verdict is limited by the evidence currently available..."

Although he believed that Los Angeles city officials were involved in the cover-up of the massacre, which resulted in highly inconsistent testimonies between government officials and the murderer, it was ultimately impossible to convict the murderer of murder. But so what?

"I hope the Los Angeles authorities can seriously reflect on this incident and avoid similar tragedies from happening again."

When the result came out, the mob's defense lawyer walked out of the court and shouted to reporters outside the court.

"This was an unfair trial. We saw that the federal judge unreasonably and arbitrarily interfered with the state's justice. Nine gentlemen, including Tom Hanger, were innocent. The death of those Chinese people was entirely due to self-defense, sir.

You guys, this is an unfair trial!"

This is an unfair trial!

It seemed to everyone that this was an unfair trial. For people in Los Angeles, they felt that the nine "brave men" were unfairly sentenced. In Sacramento, the capital of California, Governor Newton Booth

After learning about the trial result, he announced it to the press.

"This was a fair trial. Although a tragedy occurred in Los Angeles, it was not only stopped quickly, but we saw that the laws of the United States are still valid and the thugs received their due punishment. God

I can testify that justice has finally arrived!"

Facing the governor's answer, some applauded while others booed.

"Mr. Governor, do you think this is really justice?"

Someone among the reporters asked loudly.

"Of course, they have all received the punishment they deserve!"

Newton Booth did not have any good impressions of those Chinese people, and even in order to win white votes, he repeatedly advocated anti-Chinese, and he does the same now.

Faced with the governor's answer, some reporters directly booed. In their view, this was simply trying to mess with the law and everyone else. But even their boos did not affect Newton Booth.

He still kept smiling.

At this moment, another reporter asked.

"Mr. Governor, do you think this result can satisfy the Ming Empire and calm their anger?"

Facing reporters' questions, the governor said in an indignant tone.

"Sir, as we all know, the judiciary in the United States is independent. Even as the governor, I cannot interfere with the judge's decision. Besides, I believe this is definitely a fair trial! As for whether the Ming Empire is satisfied, this is not our consideration at all.

After all, the American judiciary is independent and American laws are fair."

When he said these words, he looked completely confident, and it seemed that he really meant what he said. This was a fair trial, and as the governor, he did not interfere with the administration of justice.

He has not succumbed to pressure from Washington at all. Why should he succumb to pressure there?

As the governor, of course he respects the law and the judicial system.

Look now.

How fair this trial is! It fully proves to the world how advanced the American system is.
