"Extreme school violence reappeared in Los Angeles. Platt, the son of Covina Mayor Irving Nestor, used a weapon at East Middle School and severely injured Mexican classmate Antonio Navas..."
Fox 11 The channel's TV truck drove directly to the city hall.
The live broadcast camera focused on the old Navas and the printed poster he held high.
Because too many people gathered at the scene, and the victims and many media were involved, the LAPD sent several patrol cars to maintain order.
A commercial vehicle drove along Central Street and stopped on the side of the road.
In the car, Hawke looked at Brian and said: "Go ahead, your stage has been set up!"
Brian was confident: "Look at me."
The driver Edward turned around: "Kill them!"
"Kill them!" Brian opened the door and got out of the car, and walked towards the door of the city hall accompanied by Bacon and Sandra.
He walked past several police officers maintaining order and came to the door of the city hall. He stood in front of old Navas, looked up at the poster he held high, and said sonorously: "The murderer must pay the price! ”
The camera on Fox 11 immediately turned to Brian.
Brian turned around, went up the high steps in front of the city hall, took the loudspeaker from Bacon, and said loudly: "I watched the video on Twitter, and I will talk to the LAPD about the situation. However, a classmate who had just transferred to Eastern Middle School had no conflict with Pratt Nestor, but was subjected to extreme violence. Can we in Covina not even accept a 17-year-old boy? "< br>
His voice became louder and louder: "In my eyes, Covina is an open and inclusive town. Whites, Africans, Mexicans, Asians, etc., all live in peace and build their homes together. Why? Is this going to happen? Why is Eastern Middle School shielding Pratt? Because he is the mayor’s son?”
Brian's words are not finished yet: "Through this incident, haven't you discovered? There is a hidden evil force in Covina, and they are hindering the development of Covina. Look at the people in Covina except Central Street. Roads, look at our backward dial-up Internet, and the bullying that happens over and over again in Eastern Middle School!”
He shouted loudly: "I believe that Antonio Navas is not the first victim! Brothers and sisters, there must be victims among you! I! Brian Ferguson swears here that I will do my best to let The murderer and the bastards who harbored the murderer must pay the price they deserve!"
The hundreds of people gathered here suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Brian said sternly: "Are our children going to be bullied by thugs in the future? Are you going to have a bloody head and still don't dare to stand up?"
Crowd Among them, Rod, the restaurant boy whom Campos had met, broke free from his mother's hand, broke through his grandmother's blockage at all costs, and walked out of the crowd without looking back.
He said loudly: "I am a student of Eastern Middle School and was also beaten by Platt. I also thought about calling the police, but Mayor Irving warned my mother in the school that if we did not accept his poor Compensate and shut up, my mother’s restaurant will not be able to stay open.”
Covina is a small place, and many people have eaten at that Mexican restaurant and know Rod and his mother.
Rhode stood up.
Another Mexican with a big beard hesitated, but still mustered up the courage to slowly walk out of the crowd.
He stuttered a bit: "I am... I am a worker at the Cadiz Citrus Plantation. About two years ago, my son's eyebrow bone was broken by someone led by Pratt."
Then, someone else stood up.
As time went by, more and more people gathered in front of the city hall, and soon exceeded 300 people.
A total of seven people stood up before and after them. Brian took his hand and walked to the steps to stand with old Navas.
Not only the citizens of Covina, but also more and more media came over.
A team from Twitter also came here and started a live broadcast on the Internet.
Brian's speech started with Navas Jr.'s school bullying and evolved into a public prosecution meeting for ordinary citizens of Covina.
Initially, the students who came forward were the students Platt had bullied in middle school and their parents.
Under the herd effect, students and parents who bullied Pratt Elementary School also appeared one after another.
Later, even those who had conflicts with Owen Nestor in daily life came forward to accuse the current mayor of his despicable and shameless criminal behavior!
The reputation of Owen Nestor and his family among the middle and lower classes in Covina was completely ruined.
These also spread to all parts of North America through live broadcasts on TV and Twitter. The mayor and his son’s bullying quickly topped the real-time trending list on Twitter.
There are millions of users talking about Owen Nester.
“I can’t believe that the mayor of a small city with only tens of thousands of people could do such evil.”
“Pratt became a school bully entirely because his father was a mayor. "Mr."
"My father, the mayor, has become a solid backing for the school bully."
The crowd quickly gathered in front of the city hall.
Too many students dare not speak out when faced with school bullies like Pratt, and they even dare not tell their parents that they have been bullied.
I didn’t stand up until today.
Some of them who are thoughtful still retain evidence of the bullying they experienced.
The scale and momentum of this improvised event exceeded Hawke's expectations.
He looked outside through the car window, took out his mobile phone and dialed Sandra's number: "Tell him to organize people to go to the Central Branch to call the police collectively."
Sandra hung up the phone and found a suitable opportunity to whisper a few words into Brian's ear.
Brian asked her to communicate with the sergeant leading the team.
The public prosecution meeting here is coming to an end. Under Brian's organization, more than 30 victims formed a huge police team and drove to the Central Branch. There were police cars clearing the way in front, and police cars behind them.
The ranks of victims are vast.
Word spread quickly and it wasn't long before a group of injured motorcycle riders joined them.
They are also going to call the police, and the sculptures built by Owen Nestor have caused irreversible damage to their bodies.
Central Branch, Owen Nester has heard about what happened in Covina and wants to go back quickly.
But the son still has to be released on bail.
He kept urging the lawyer to go through the formalities as soon as possible. At the same time, he called Sacramento and asked them to find a solution with the district attorney.
With the video as evidence and public opinion rising again, Pratt is in quite a lot of trouble.
After a lot of effort, I was finally able to go through the bail procedures.
The police suddenly came over and informed me that the bail would be cancelled.
6◇9◇书◇Bar
Because another group of victims of Pratt’s bullying came to the police, some of whom also provided strong evidence, the police need to further interrogate and understand specific circumstances.
Owen came out of the waiting room and saw a dark crowd in the branch hall.
He didn't say he knew all of these people, but every face was somewhat familiar.
The leader among them is clearly Brian Ferguson.
Brian also saw Owen, but turned a blind eye and helped the victims go through various procedures.
Several lawyers who received his call also arrived at this time.
Irving wanted to question him, but two police officers approached him.
The leader, John, said: "Mr. Nestor, you are suspected of coercing and insulting others, and of interfering with justice. Please come with us."
Not only did Owen not release his son on bail, , and he himself was temporarily detained by the Central Branch.
The Pratt campus bullying incident broke out completely, and through the influence and spread of Twitter, it had a certain impact across the United States.
Mayor Irving's reputation was in disrepute, but Brian reversed his reputation through the afternoon rally.
At night, in the conference room of the campaign office.
Hoke and others gathered together.
Edward said: "A total of 19 people, including Michael, have filed compensation lawsuits on the tangerine sculpture, and the district court has accepted it."
Bacon said: "Although the Western Branch has not updated further There is no evidence, but rumors about Irving Zhaopiao spread everywhere. Many people said that he had strengthened ten shemales, and even some Indian residents said that he had strengthened lizards."
I heard that even the third sister-in-law had. Appearing, Hawke nodded slightly, rumors kill people.
Sandra answered: "For some reason, Irving's wife Helen reacted more violently than we imagined. Her lawyer has already sent Irving a divorce agreement."
Hoke said: "There may be Please pay attention to the inside information that we don’t know.”
Sandra responded: “Yes. "
Brian laughed: "With the campus bullying case, Irving's reputation in Covina has been almost completely destroyed by us."
Hoke concluded: "It's worse. The goal of the plan is completely achieved." He looked at Brian: "Next, rebuild your reputation."
Brian was slightly surprised: "I am now..."
When the words "huge advantages" came to his lips, he remembered Hawke's instructions and swallowed them back.
Hoke said: "Don't underestimate anyone. Owen has been beaten down by our combination of punches, but who can guarantee that he will not make a comeback? We cannot give him any chance of comeback. ”
Brian immediately thought of the Toyota Alfa that was hit by a dump truck.
The case has been handled as a hit-and-run accident. Because the driver and the car's whereabouts could not be found, the case was hung up.
Similar situations will basically turn into old and dusty files.
"Right now, Owen's reputation is more than ten times worse than yours." What Hawke said was completely different from what Brian thought: "In addition to reputation, providing some benefits can Let the citizens of Covina see the benefits."
Brian immediately remembered what happened before: "A. Fiber optics in T&T? "
Hoke said: "Yes, your campaign promised a lot. If people see one of them implemented before voting, they will support us more. "
Brian said: "I will contact AT&T immediately."
The next morning, the citizens of Covina discovered that the fiber-to-home promise promised by Brian, one of the mayoral candidates, had actually come true.
AT&T technicians entered Covina for an on-site inspection and began to pull optical fiber from downtown Los Angeles to Covina.
On the same day, according to Sandra's survey, Irving's approval rating dropped to less than 30%.
Completely collapsed. (End of this chapter)
