还记得2013年11月的jimmy的圆桌吗?“kill everyone in China”出自ABC的夜间脱口秀节目的一期。
当时,几个朋友和俺也愤懑也不平也想抗议。游行,我们势单力薄是想都不敢想的事情;写信,给各自选区的议员发牢骚成了我们唯一表达不满的渠道。
请人写信,请人签名......我用轻松的笔调记录出来,其实并不是那么好玩。翻翻我的博客,还可以看看那时的故事,还找得到信的样本。但是,我怀疑没有一个读过我博客的网友寄过信,恐怕大家都觉得多此一举,简直是吃饱了没有事情干!
短短两年,经历岁月的刻痕,我才发现原来生活是一件这么有意思的事情,我们都在成长。经历是灵魂的梯子,将会引领我们奔赴何方?
如果一个人只是为自己努力,那太寂寞了。若是我们一起奋斗,那才不枉此生!
如果我们无法逃避世间的苦难,那就与今天同甘共苦,对明天说我们可以更好!
今天,我发帖子也是为了寄信,信来源于网络,作者佚名,没有版权,也许您早就寄出,也许您今天和我一样才打印出来,也许您读了这个帖子明天会寄,也许您会考虑寄不寄这几封信......
Peter Liang 的故事大家都了如指掌,我就不在此置喙。信只需复制到WORD,打印出来,签上自己的名字, 一共三位收信人,每人一页纸,三张邮票。麻烦大家了!
关于我们华裔的过去,告一段落;关于我们的未来,敬请期待!

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

同时,从这件事也可以看出,亚裔即使再出色,当上大律师大法官,最终还是要看民众眼色行事。华裔和亚裔是极少数民族,永远不会得到政客和利益集团的重视,遇到灾难总是当替罪羊的份。Vincent Chin的杀手无罪逍遥法外,而OJ虽然是黑人杀白人,陪审团里黑人多,照样可以无罪释放。
多子多福,提高我们的人口,是我们后代的唯一出路。否则,这种Injustice,Glass ceiling会永远陪伴我们的子孙后代。看看拉丁裔吧,他们做到的是最好的榜样。
不是为了帮助梁警官,是为了我们自己和后代,一起争取属于我们的公平与正义吧!
For ourselves and for our children, lets do it, together!
说实话平时我经常嘲笑文学城这个破网张。
这次总算有点用了。
在美国这种国家,就得强势!!
