说起游行,想起了一个故事。那是在八九年六四后的周末,华盛顿的Pennsylvania 大道挤满了从美国各地跑去游行的华人,从林肯纪念堂到华盛顿纪念塔到国会山庄到白宫,黑压压的人群,只能用People Mountain People Sea来形容。我身边竟然有个白人小伙也在游行队伍里走着,他不会中文,但大家喊口号时也跟着举手。他为如此壮观的游行场面而激动地扯着嗓子跟着啊啊乱叫。突然间一人举着李鹏画像的牌子挤到我们前边,画像看上去是半个希特勒半个李鹏,他便百思不得其解般地问我:“那个人是谁啊?”我告诉他:“是中国的总理”。他听后把眼睛睁大到吓人的地步,问我:“他杀同性恋者了?”我一听明白了,他误以为这么多人是同性恋们在游行,便问他:“听说了北京天安门广场的事了吗?”他摇头,然后问我”北京出啥事了你们要跑到这里游行?与同性恋无关?“我说,与同性恋无关。就听他愤怒地“法克!”然后往外挤。看他那意思换成网路语言就是:不是同性恋维权,你们来这里折腾个JB呀!

梁彼得在开枪后没有及时抢救Akai Gurley,是他被判二级误杀和渎职的关键。事后抢
救未必能百分百救活受害人,但这在法律上的区别却非常大。以前有个案例,一个女生
反抗性侵,不小心捅了罪犯几刀,之后她过于惊慌,看着罪犯在血泊中慢慢死去没有施
救。由于她没有及时施救,导致她本来是正当防卫,最后却变成了误杀。这还是普通人
对罪犯的行为,更不要说梁彼得作为警察开枪射中无辜路人,从头到尾居然没有任何抢
救,只想着如何减轻责任,不要丢掉工作。控方甚至用"Care only about himself in
the minutes after firing, not whether anyone had been hurt"这样的话形容他,
换言之,梁彼得没有尽到一个警察应有的Duty和Responsibility。
