還記得2013年11月的jimmy的圓桌嗎?“kill everyone in China”出自ABC的夜間脫口秀節目的一期。
當時,幾個朋友和俺也憤懣也不平也想抗議。遊行,我們勢單力薄是想都不敢想的事情;寫信,給各自選區的議員發牢騷成了我們唯一表達不滿的渠道。
請人寫信,請人簽名......我用輕鬆的筆調記錄出來,其實並不是那麽好玩。翻翻我的博客,還可以看看那時的故事,還找得到信的樣本。但是,我懷疑沒有一個讀過我博客的網友寄過信,恐怕大家都覺得多此一舉,簡直是吃飽了沒有事情幹!
短短兩年,經曆歲月的刻痕,我才發現原來生活是一件這麽有意思的事情,我們都在成長。經曆是靈魂的梯子,將會引領我們奔赴何方?
如果一個人隻是為自己努力,那太寂寞了。若是我們一起奮鬥,那才不枉此生!
如果我們無法逃避世間的苦難,那就與今天同甘共苦,對明天說我們可以更好!
今天,我發帖子也是為了寄信,信來源於網絡,作者佚名,沒有版權,也許您早就寄出,也許您今天和我一樣才打印出來,也許您讀了這個帖子明天會寄,也許您會考慮寄不寄這幾封信......
Peter Liang 的故事大家都了如指掌,我就不在此置喙。信隻需複製到WORD,打印出來,簽上自己的名字, 一共三位收信人,每人一頁紙,三張郵票。麻煩大家了!
關於我們華裔的過去,告一段落;關於我們的未來,敬請期待!

RE: People vs. Peter Liang
Indictment No. 9988/2014
Dear Honorable Chun,
I am writing this letter to express my anger and disappointment with the recent indictment of Officer Liang. It is a tragedy for both families. I feel deeply for the family of the victim. On the other hand, it is an accident and we all know it. If Officer Liang were a criminal, he would have shot the victim directly. He had no control over a bouncing bullet. Nor did he have a motive. He is a fine young man who has an excellent track record and wants to serve his country.
Your indictment will habe a long lasting damaging effect on the police and the whole country. If you indict a fine police officer simply because of an accident, how do you expect policemen to do their work in the future? They put their life on the line for us and have to make a decision in a split second. Accidents or mistakes are almost unavoidable. Is the American judicial system going to indict any police officer who has an accident? Who would want to be a police officer in the future?
The death of Akai Gurley is a tragedy. Please do not create another tragedy by indicting Officer Peter Liang. Let him serve the public. Do not set a precedence to penalize a police officer based on accidents. They need our support, not indictment. Please help Officer Liang. You will do a great service for all policemen in this country.
Thank you

Dear Mayor Bill De Blasio,
I am writing this letter to express my anger and disappointment with the recent indictment of Officer Liang. It is a tragedy for both families. I feel deeply for the family of the victim. On the other hand, it is an accident. We all know it. If Officer Liang were a criminal, he would have shot the victim directly. He had no control over a bouncing bullet. Nor did he have a motive. On the contrary, Officer Liang has a spotless track record of personal history.
Your indictment will have long a lasting damaging effect for the police and the whole country. If you indict a fine police officer simply because of an accident, how do you expect policemen to do their work in the future? They put their life on the line for the people in New York City and have to make a decision in a split of a second. Accidents or mistakes are almost unavoidable. Is the American judicial system going to indict any police officer who has an accident? In that case, who wants to be a police officer in the future? Do you think anyone will want to work for NYPD?
The death of Akai Gurley is a tragedy. Please do not create another tragedy by indicting Peter Liang. Please do not set a precedence to penalize a police officer based on accidents.Could you please step in and correct the situation? Please use your influence. Free Officer Liang, you will do a great service for all policemen.
Thank you

Your indictment will have a long lasting damaging effect on the police and the whole country. If you can indict a fine police officer simply because of an accident, how do you expect policemen to do their work in the future? They put their life on the line for the people in New York City and have to make a decision in a split of a second. Accidents or mistakes are almost unavoidable. Is American judicial system going to indict any police officer who has an accident? In that case, who would want to be a police officer in the future? Do you think anyone would send their kids to work for NYPD?
The death of Akai Gurley is a tragedy. Please do not create another tragedy by indicting Peter Liang. Please do not set a precedence to penalize a police officer based on accidents.Officer Liang should not be prosecuted in the first place. What your office did is not in the best interest of people in this country. Police needs support, not indictment.
Thank you

我
同時,從這件事也可以看出,亞裔即使再出色,當上大律師大法官,最終還是要看民眾眼色行事。華裔和亞裔是極少數民族,永遠不會得到政客和利益集團的重視,遇到災難總是當替罪羊的份。Vincent Chin的殺手無罪逍遙法外,而OJ雖然是黑人殺白人,陪審團裏黑人多,照樣可以無罪釋放。
多子多福,提高我們的人口,是我們後代的唯一出路。否則,這種Injustice,Glass ceiling會永遠陪伴我們的子孫後代。看看拉丁裔吧,他們做到的是最好的榜樣。
不是為了幫助梁警官,是為了我們自己和後代,一起爭取屬於我們的公平與正義吧!
For ourselves and for our children, lets do it, together!
說實話平時我經常嘲笑文學城這個破網張。
這次總算有點用了。
在美國這種國家,就得強勢!!
