Bateman squatted on the pony, staring at the center of table No. 1 in front of him, where Harry was chatting.
"Heroes yearn for freedom and subconsciously reject words like regulation, supervision, and system, and are even more resistant to contact with any form of government organizations.
But personal freedom cannot interfere with the normal rights of others.
This is the origin of the law and is common sense that every ordinary citizen should understand.
Superheroes have a special status and are a moral role model for society. Naturally, they should be strict with themselves.
Let me give you the simplest example. A major murder occurred in a certain neighborhood of the city, and a notorious criminal happened to appear nearby.
According to the American judicial system, the police will arrest him as a suspect, then investigate, collect evidence, interrogate, prosecute and prosecute a complete and transparent trial process, so that the suspect's basic human rights can be guaranteed.
But at this time, if the city's guardian hero is a more impulsive person, he may directly use fists and kicks, seriously threatening the suspect's personal safety and putting the U.S. judicial system under his personal emotions.
It turns out that the super criminal happened to be passing by the crime scene and was not the leader of the case.
The hero's reputation, American justice, and the suspect's human rights were all damaged at the same time, and no one benefited.
Therefore, heroes can not be supervised, but they must be under supervision."
Most of the heroes on the stage and the audience below the stage nodded silently, agreeing with the words of the 'Congressman Hero'.
Bateman doesn't kill people, but he often sends "suspects" who have not been declared guilty by the judge to I. At this time, he wanted to argue a few words, but suddenly found that other heroes had microphones in front of them, and he only had a small voice.
Mazar.
"Flash, lend me your microphone." He whispered.
Barry tried it and said: "The line is not long enough, please come closer."
So Bateman dragged Mazza forward again and stretched his head sideways on the table, "Congressman Quinn, every criminal has a different personality and methods, and the heroes' abilities and habits are also different.
The environment at that time was even more unpredictable.
How is it possible to develop a universal code of conduct for superheroes?”
"Baitman, you are too prejudiced against me and the Washington government. When you heard about supervision and profession, you subconsciously thought the worst, thinking that the Eyes of Heaven would formulate a system to restrain you."
Harley first slapped a big hat on her and then said: "Actually, the Sky Eye Council is neither the Legislative Yuan nor the National Police Agency. It has no power to make laws for superheroes, nor does it arrest heroes who commit crimes.
The Sky Eye Society, as its name suggests, will only follow with its sharp eyes and will not interfere with the heroes' activities.
How you, the hero, want to fight crime and save citizens is your own business.
The Sky Eye will only record and analyze all your public or private behaviors.
If the Sky Eye believes that a hero has crossed the line, the evidence will be submitted to the prosecutor's office in the city where the hero is located, and everything will follow normal judicial procedures.
If the Sky Eye Society is unable to judge whether a hero's behavior is right or wrong, it will make contact with the hero and disclose his actions to the public, leaving the decision-making power to the people."
"Bah bang bang!" The government officials, social sages, citizens, and reserve heroes who were listening in the audience applauded one after another.
"The Eye of Heaven is very necessary!"
"With General Wuhuan leading the Sky Eye Society, we can finally rest assured!"
"A hero cannot be unscrupulous, he needs a pair of eyes to keep an eye on him at all times."
Many people even shouted loudly.
Bateman felt heavy. He would rather the Sky Eye would be a secret service agency whose internal structure and organizational activities were opaque.
That way, when people need to take sides, they will definitely side with bright and righteous heroes, rather than dirty, dark secret services that don't know what to do.
But Harley is more cunning than he thought.
The Sky Eye Society is just a simple administrative unit. On the surface, it is the same as countless government agencies. It is legal and reasonable and cannot be hacked.
But the fundamental purpose of the Sky Eye's existence to control heroes has been achieved.
Stalking heroes, collecting dirt on heroes, and even purposefully creating dirt are actually espionage behaviors.
Now that they have mastered the hero's "dirty information", they can naturally coerce and induce the hero to obey.
He doesn't have the reputation of being a spy, but he does a lot of evil things.
But he couldn't refute it publicly. Harley was always good at wrapping "evil purposes" in a reasonable and legal appearance.
Superman seemed to have a tacit understanding, and at this moment, he looked back at him.
The two looked at each other, both understanding the other's worries.
"If he doesn't get authorization from the government, and he doesn't want to be monitored by the Eyes of Heaven, wouldn't a hero be able to punish evil and promote good?" Aquaman suddenly asked.
"Of course not." Harley looked around at the heroes who were thoughtful and hesitant, and said loudly: "From the beginning, I have set a tone for this conference and the Sky Eye Association to help heroes better relieve disasters and eliminate evil.
Who gets to decide whether a hero is qualified to do good?
Not me, not the Sky Eye Society, not even the US government.
Not even God has the power to stop a hero from performing a heroic act."
"Wow!" These words were so unexpected that the hero was stunned and the audience also opened their mouths and were dumbfounded.
Even Bateman was stunned.
"Who can grant a hero the power to do good things?" Wonder Woman looked sideways at Harley beside her and asked in confusion.
"Of course it's the rescued person himself." Harry quietly activated the Virgin's halo, and a faint holy light projected from his face, looking serious and sacred.
"Life and freedom are the most basic rights of human beings and the most worthy of respect.
People who are in trouble have the right beyond law and belief to choose the way to be saved.
Their rights to survival and freedom also endow heroes with the supreme ‘right to do good’ above laws and systems.
Any behavior that opposes the right to do good is evil and reactionary.
Any law that opposes the right to do good, including the Keene Act that restricted heroes from doing good through real-name registration, is also against morality and the law itself."
"Well said!" The Flash clapped excitedly, with afterimages appearing on his hands.
"He is indeed a ball-protecting hero," Green Arrow sighed to the Atom beside him: "I have felt that there is a problem with the Keene Act a long time ago, but it is completely based on the Constitution.
It is almost an irrefutable truth that "law enforcement power" belongs to law enforcement agencies rather than individuals.
Now after listening to Senator Quinn’s words, it suddenly dawns on me that life and freedom are laws above the law.”
The Atom was also excited and deeply shocked, sighing: "The concept of the right to do good is mind-blowing!
She gave a new definition to superheroes and truly created a new era of superheroes.
From now on, no one or country can stop the rise of superheroes with high-sounding reasons or laws."
Bai Ge agreed: "Congressman Quinn's statement of 'right to do good' today is like raising the banner of 'freedom, democracy, and equality' in an ignorant feudal society.
Once the flag is raised and the concepts of freedom, democracy and equality are spread, a new era of freedom, democracy and equality is destined to come, and no one can stop it."
Bateman stared at Harley's flawless side face, and felt that she seemed to be shining at this moment. Well, it wasn't all psychological, she was really shining.
How great it would be if she could be a true hero in a down-to-earth manner!
Feeling sad in his heart, he said solemnly: "The right to do good is just the 'supreme right' in her logic. If the collective is higher than the individual, the right to do good will not be established from the beginning."
Like other heroes, he very much agrees with Harley's theory of the right to do good.
But he knows better than others that Harley's 'truth' has a very important prerequisite: extreme respect for personal value, and individual life and freedom above collective interests.
In any case, heroes who usurp law enforcement power undermine the majesty of the law, and the law serves the collective.
To break the law because of saving individuals is to put the rights of the saved person above those of the collective.
For example, Jin Cuilian and Lu Zhishen, from Jin Cuilian's perspective, Lu Zhishen saving her is naturally 100% justice.
Even in the eyes of modern people, they would give Lu Zhishen a thumbs up and say, "A true hero and a good man."
However, Lu Zhishen beat him to death in the street to suppress Guanxi, which severely damaged the majesty of the laws of the Northern Song Dynasty. For ordinary people in the Song Dynasty, the law would at least theoretically protect them. If the law was destroyed, their interests would naturally suffer losses.
The officials and ruling class of the Song Dynasty hated Lu Zhishen's behavior even more, because their interests were violated more seriously.
In the modern dynasty, everyone from the upper class to the common people praises Lu Zhishen, just because Lu Zhishen is not a modern person.
Lu Zhishen's rescue of Jin Cuilian did harm to the system and laws of the Song Dynasty, but did not affect the interests of modern people.
In modern times, let alone doing the same thing as Lu Zhishen, even if Lu Zhishen respects life
Of course, Lu Zhishen punishes evil and promotes good, and to a certain extent, he warns evil people that they will be wary when they bully good people again. He also sets an example, allowing more people to uphold justice and have a certain amount of positive energy in society.
But this positive energy is compared with the disadvantages of the destruction of the law. If the total income is positive, the income of destroying the law is positive. The more laws are destroyed, the more beneficial it is to society. The law will lose the value of its existence, and the society based on the law will also lose its value.
In the United States of the D universe, at this moment, Harley proposed the concept of the right to do good, and believed that the right to do good is above all else. The heroes cheered excitedly, as if they were welcoming a beautiful new era, and the benefits of destroying the law with heroic deeds were negative.
?
If it is negative, it proves that society does not need heroes, and heroes will gradually wither, just like the Watchmen back then.
During World War II and the Cold War, heroes (watchmen) were needed. When peace comes, society and the government no longer need heroes, and watchmen will withdraw from the stage of history.
But the reality now is that the era of superheroes is coming and getting more and more popular.
This shows that the return is positive.
The profits from breaking the law are good and the United States is going to be doomed!
In troubled times heroes emerge;
On the other hand, when a hero appears, trouble comes.
Bateman could think of this step, but he subconsciously didn't want to think about it.
When Harley gave an impassioned speech, she felt doubly ridiculous: she decorated it with beautiful and righteous words to achieve the purpose of controlling the hero with her clairvoyance, which seemed evil.
Heroes punish evil and promote good, and they should be just and bright.
But the free and unrestrained hero is actually hurting the law.
Injuring the law is equivalent to injuring the existing social system.
However, her evil behavior of "recruiting heroes" has greatly safeguarded the majesty of the law and the stability and peace of today's society.
