Just half an hour ago, Swift, who was full of wine and food, proposed to sit in the bar.
I have to say here that the Rhodesian Hotel offers a wide variety of drinks, from brandy produced in France to tequila produced in South America. Forget about vodka. You can't get into this kind of hotel, but they are available in the bar.
Although Swift works in the Ministry of Agriculture, the situation of the Ministry of Agriculture does not allow Swift to drink brandy produced in France anytime and anywhere.
At the Rhodesian Hotel, Swift definitely didn’t have to pay for all the expenses herself, so Swift accidentally drank a little too much, and after drinking, she wanted to go to the bar to have fun, and Carlos couldn’t even dissuade her from doing so.
live.
When they arrived at the bar, Swift was restless. The various cocktails made Swift so carried away that he accidentally touched a lady's butt.
In bars, this kind of thing is actually very common, so fights in bars are also very common. If Swift is really careless, apologizes sincerely and then invites people to have a drink, most people will not care.
I came here to have fun and relax. If you really can't accept this, don't come to the bar and go to the cafe instead. But after Swift touched it, he put his finger under his nose and smelled it in a very obscene way, and then snorted loudly.
Whistle.
The consequences of this would be serious.
After Louis Botta heard what happened, he felt that the foie gras did not taste good at all.
Roque didn't need Louis Botha to speak at all. He glanced at Zach, who had no presence next to him, and Zach immediately went to deal with it.
This is much easier than dealing with Brett Hopkins crashing the Cecil Rhodes statue.
"Why do outsiders always make such and such mistakes after coming to Nyasaland? Now I feel that they are simply mentally retarded." Stoudemire gushed. The Italian sculptor has not yet completed the task. There is no statue of Cecil.
Rhodes Square feels like it has lost its soul.
"Swift used to be very good, he was just drunk-" Louis Botha didn't take it to heart.
"This is definitely not the first time he has been drunk, nor is it the first time he has done this kind of thing. It's just that he was not in Nyasaland before, so no one dared to detain him." Rock didn't take it to heart, don't worry about this era.
People's demands are too high, quality, morality, etc. are too far away. Scum can be found at all times and everywhere, but the proportion of scum is higher in this era, and there are more in colonial countries like southern Africa.
Rock does not dwell on philosophical issues such as whether human nature is inherently good or evil. Rock only starts from reality.
There are also many people in Nyasaland who seem to be loyal but secretly treacherous, so Roque never talks about life with others. He only uses strict laws and regulations to regulate people's behavior. If you violate the regulations, you will be punished. Don't say that those who don't know are not blamed, or
The legal principles are nothing more than human feelings, and they are all excuses.
"Why don't you dare?" Louis Botta was not pretending to be confused, he really didn't realize what was going on.
In other words, Louis Botta will not pay attention to such trivial matters at all.
"Because Swift works in the Ministry of Agriculture, and because Swift's backing is you, if you put this brand out, most things can be settled." Rock mocked, the king of hell is so difficult to deal with.
This is the reason why some people have to magnify even a little bit of power to the extreme, otherwise they will not be able to show that they are superior to others.
The remnants of feudalism!
"Then why can't things be settled in Nyasaland?" Louis Botha must have defended his shortcomings. This is also human nature.
"Because in Nyasaland, everyone is behind me, and Nyasaland is my territory." Rock's voice was low, but there was no room for refutation.
It's not that Qianglong doesn't suppress the local snake, it's that he doesn't bother to deal with the local snake at all, let alone Qiang Snake and the local dragon.
"How would you handle this kind of thing if both parties were Nyasaland people?" Louis Botha did not argue and was more interested in Roque's handling of the matter.
"How to deal with it? It's illegal to touch someone's butt. The lady who was assaulted by Swift can just shoot Swift to death. Can you accept the result of this treatment?" Rock said calmly, Nyasaland
Follow British tradition and advocate the principle of unlimited defense.
This unlimited defense is not the first of its kind in the United States. Ancient Rome's "Law of the Twelve Bronze Watches" stipulated that thieves found stealing at night can be killed directly. "Tang Lv Shu Yi" also stipulates: Anyone who enters someone else's house at night without any reason should be killed.
He shall be punished with forty lashes. If the master kills the person immediately, he shall be innocent.
In the book "On Criminal Law" published in 1801, the idea of unlimited defense was expanded to the extreme. The book believed that if it is to protect one's property rights from infringement, even minor infringements can be taken, including deprivation of life.
the most severe means of defense.
Nyasaland's regulations in this regard are stricter and more specific. When a homeowner finds a stranger in his home when he returns home, he can directly shoot the stranger to death.
Of course, if you drink too much and go to the wrong door and kill someone in someone else's house, this is considered murder and you will also be held legally responsible.
Louis Botta obviously couldn't accept this result, so Louis Botta didn't say anything.
"This is why Swift is so unscrupulous." Xiao Si chuckled. The laws of Rhodesia are exactly the same as those of Nyasaland. The law of Nyasaland is a professor at the Law School of Nyasaland University in the Rock Organization.
It was written by Xiaosi and I thought it was pretty good, so I just used it directly.
Save money!
"It's too harsh to shoot him directly after touching his butt." Louis Botta felt that it was overkill.
"When the Nyasaland *** Congress was legislating, I had only one request. I said to Professor Constance, think about what you would do if a crime happened to you? Then there is now
Constitution of Nyasaland." The Rock people did their best, but Professor Constance's daughter died as a result of the escalation of crime. It can be imagined how jealous Professor Constance was.
Most of those saints who call for human rights and advocate the rights of criminals just stand up and talk without pain. They live in noble residential areas with good public security and work in deep compounds with strict security. People at the same level are most likely to evade taxes, steal and
Crimes such as robbery and rape are too far away from them, and criminals who would commit these crimes cannot get close to them, so they have no immediate pain.
This is why although British law has strict requirements for tax evasion, the penalties are not severe.
For these low-level crimes, the punishment in the UK is very severe, without even giving them a chance to repent.
The fundamental reason is that the people who make laws are rich people, so they will not make mistakes that can be solved with money.
"What if it wasn't intentional?" Louis Botta still disagreed.
"Don't be picky. If you really didn't mean it, you would have apologized sincerely instead of whistling obscenely. What's more, not everyone can shoot and kill. If you really want to meet a guy who kills people like crazy, then you can only
If you think you are unlucky, you may choke to death while eating." Roque is not soft-hearted. The law is to protect the interests of the majority, not the interests of the few. Nyasaland is about to introduce the "Traffic Law"
, driving under the influence of alcohol and causing the death of others may be punishable by the death penalty.
Punishment too severe?
If you don't drink, you'll be fine. If you drink, don't touch the car. If you drive after drinking, if something goes wrong, you'll complain. Emotional laws can be changed at will.
"You're right, we can't skip eating just because we might choke to death." Louis Botta only agreed with this part, and would keep it even if he had objections to other parts: "Carlos, send Swift back to Austria.
Lan Zhi, leave it to the police station."
Roque endured it and said nothing. He still had to give him face. Anyway, there were no serious consequences. Even if Nyasaland police dealt with it, the current situation would probably be a fine and compulsory labor.
In fact, this kind of compromise is harmful to the law, but politics is the art of compromise, and it must not be taken to the line. An insignificant Swift cannot affect the originally incompatible relationship between Roque and Louis Botta.
Strong friendship.
Of course, the reason for downplaying the treatment in this way is mainly because the consequences of Swift's behavior are not serious. If Swift commits serious crimes in Nyasaland, Roque will definitely not compromise.
Whether the relationship between Roque and Louis Botha will deteriorate because of Swift is a question for Louis Botha to consider.
"It seems that we have to print the law into a book and give a copy to every outsider who comes to Nyasaland." Xiao Si was very relaxed and didn't care how Roque and Louis Botha dealt with it, who died and who lived.
Stoudemire doesn't care.
"Then they have to be able to understand it." Roque was helpless. To understand the law, you need a relatively high level of education. Mere literacy is not enough, let alone the miserable literacy rate in southern Africa.
"There is nothing we can do about it. The ten states in Southern Africa, plus the federal government and the mainland, have more than a dozen constitutions. There are dozens or hundreds of criminal, civil, commercial and tax laws. Only professionals can understand them."
Louis Botta is also very helpless. If the legal system were not so complicated, the lawyer profession would not be so popular.
Considering that the specific legal provisions were created by industry insiders, it’s really scary to think about it carefully.
Roque and Stoudemire did not say anything on this issue. The legislative capital of southern Africa is Bloemfontein. Although the legislative capital is of little significance, the blame can be thrown to Bloemfontein.
At this time, there was another noise at the door, and Louis Botta's face immediately became ugly.
Roque and Stoudemire couldn't tell, but Louis Botta could definitely tell that it was Swift who was making a lot of noise outside the door.
"Sorry, I have to deal with some family matters." Louis Botta had no intention of letting Roque and Stoudemire interfere, and he could politely apologize when he stood up.
Family matters!
No wonder Louis Botha's reputation among the Boers was so high.
