Chapter 86 Shameless Reporter
Post reporter Michael had a little excited face and his eyes were glowing. He knew that many people thought that Wang Lei was the hero in this campus shooting. He fucked two gunmen alone, which was simply possessed by Hollywood superheroes, but he keenly grabbed a clue that no one had ever discovered. If it was made into scoop, it would definitely make him famous.
Wang Lei looked up at the reporter, then nodded: "Yes, the gunman was a student of Woodland Hills High School, but I don't know them. They mentioned my name and also mentioned others, including the principal, teacher, and several more famous students. My classmates, I don't think they came to me." Wang Lei felt guilty, but he knew more about what the reporter did, so he thought about it before carefully giving an answer and smiled meaningfully: "Maybe, I am a little more famous, so I am stared at it."
Michael adjusted his sitting position awkwardly, but he did not give up his plan. He changed into an aggressive tone: "But, your classmate said that before the incident happened, the gunman had warned you online that he was coming to you."
"Hey, how could you say that? Rex saved us all." Emily blocked Michael's face in dissatisfaction and stared at the other party in annoyance.
"Do you reporters know the right and wrong of moving shows? Do you know how many people they would kill if the gunmen were allowed to break into the library and into the classroom?"
Michael stood up and took two steps back: "You are Emily. I have seen your homepage and there are many beautiful photos. It is said that the Gunner once left a message there saying that he wanted to kill you?" "Yes, that's a lunatic. They just want to kill people and have nothing to do with Rex." Emily nodded quickly, trying to prove that the Gunner was targeting everyone, not Rex.
Anyone can hear that this reporter wants people to think that the gunman’s entry into the campus is related to Wang Lei and he puts the blame on Wang Lei.
In fact, the police have asked this, but that is the need for handling the case. Wang Lei and Emily told the situation they knew. The police relieved their doubts and did not keep an eye on them. They would not make conclusions at will, without evidence.
But this reporter is obviously different, he doesn't need evidence.
Michael shrugged, with an annoying smile on his face: "Maybe, maybe he knows your relationship with Rex, so he found your homepage and said he wants to kill you."
"You, how could you be like this?" Emily's pretty face turned red with anxiety: "This is all your guess. You have no evidence, and you cannot talk nonsense.
Michael smiled smugly, obviously he would not change his mind: "No, based on what I got from the interview, it is easy to get this inference. No matter what I say, everyone will understand." Michael had reason to be happy that no one found this news, which was his exclusive.
He didn't even want to wait any longer, so he quickly put away the recording pen and notebook for the interview, and nodded to Emily and Wang Lei lying on the bed with a smile: "Hi, Rex, thank you for accepting the interview, our great hero."
Michael specially added accents to these syllables of the Great Hero.
Emily suddenly rushed over and grabbed Michael's clothes: "Please, please don't say that, the gunman has nothing to do with Rex. He saved us and was injured." "I'm sorry, I'm a reporter, I have to tell everyone the truth." Michael said with a smile.
"No, that's not true, Emily begged. She knew that after this news came out, Wang Lei would definitely be troubled a lot. He had already regretted this matter and even fought with the gunman at risk. But that really had nothing to do with Wang Lei. Viper Taw also clamored on her homepage and Camilla's homepage. He was a madman and had nothing to do with Wang Lei.
Emily kept saying, but Michael just kept shaking his head: "I know, I know, I will report it truthfully."
But his expression did not change at all, with a frivolous and sarcastic smile.
"Emily, let him go." Wang Lei's face looked extremely ugly. He looked at Michael coldly: "Mr. Reporter, I think it is necessary for me to remind you whether the gunman enters the campus and has anything to do with me. The police have made accurate judgments, that is, there is no. If you fabricate news, deliberately distort the facts, or even deliberately mislead the public's judgment, I will sue you for slander." Michael was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Wang Lei, a high school student, was so difficult to deal with, but he was not surprised to think that the other party was the mayor of a small town and the youngest mayor in the United States.
He quickly smiled again: "Of course, I know the law."
The young man’s idea is that it’s so beautiful, so what about the law? That will only make his name louder.
"You'd better know that I don't think the newspaper can tolerate a reporter who is maliciously slandered." Wang Lei glanced at Michael coldly, then turned his head and stopped looking at him.
He knew that for some people with ulterior motives, these words were not enough to make them retreat, but he had no other way, except to take a gun and kill the other party.
"Rex" Emily turned around and shouted. Michael took the opportunity to break away from her sleeve, took a few steps back, stepped back to the door, and smiled again: "Of course, I know, I have always been an excellent reporter."
Then, he turned around and left the ward.
After the campus shooting, all aftermath was carried out in an orderly manner. Everyone was mobilizing and praying that the deceased could rest in peace. The frightened students did not leave any psychological shadows and that the school district would restore normal order as soon as possible.
Woodland Hills High School has announced a week of suspension, giving all students holidays, state, county, and even neighboring Pittsburgh psychologists, community and nonprofit social workers directly face each student, assessing their mental state, and guiding them to develop recovery plans to help them get out of the shadows.
The police department is investigating the gunman's situation and what happened before and after the incident, similar to most previous campus shootings. This is an isolated shooting. The gunman has no other purpose. They just want to kill and then commit suicide. They are disgusting with this world. The gunman itself is the abandoned child of this world, and they choose to retaliate.
The case released by the police station is very simple, while the news media is trying to dig out the deeper factors behind the case, as well as those newsworthy events.
In addition to the two gunmen, Wang Lei also became a star in this incident. Many students, including the two policemen who rushed over, mentioned that it was Wang Lei who injured the two gunmen, preventing them from entering the classroom and avoiding a bigger tragedy.
Americans admire heroes the most. Hollywood superhero blockbusters are always sought after, so they bravely lead their classmates to hide in the library, then stand up, deal with the two gunmen with bare hands, and finally successfully prevent the gunmen from entering the classroom, saving most students, Wang Lei, and soon became the "superhero" mentioned by the media.
This is the only event that can bring positive energy to everyone in the entire shooting incident, and the media will naturally make a big fuss.
Due to the campus shooting, under the operation of some gun control organizations, Woodland Hills and even the surrounding areas, including Pittsburgh, have launched a new round of gun control campaigns, and the Democrats have taken the opportunity to canvass votes for next year's general election.
The gun-held faction is not outdone. Compared with the Columbine campus shooting, only two people died this time. When the Columbine shooting occurred, the gun-held faction did not retreat, let alone now.
They also found new reasons for possessing guns: "Why did the shooting cause far fewer casualties than Columbine? Because Rex grabbed a gun and injured two gunmen, preventing them from entering the classroom. If more people had guns at that time, they could defend themselves, and the criminals would not be able to carry out one-sided massacres, nor would they try to enter the campus again and again, and shoot unarmed students to vent their anger." The gun-holding faction even proposed further relaxation of the restrictions on the right to hold guns. They believed that due to the school's ban on possessing guns, the campus shootings became one-sided massacres, and students and teachers should be allowed to enter the school with guns.
"In the United States, the act of forcing a private home is very dangerous, because the owner can shoot and defend himself by shooting anyone who breaks into his home. This effectively curbs the possibility of criminals breaking into a private home. The same should be true for schools. Only by possessing a gun can the criminals restrain themselves." Due to the small casualties in this shooting and the demonstration effect of Wang Lei, the momentum of the gun-holding faction has surpassed the gun-controlling faction. Many citizens have realized the danger of gunmen and the self-defense effect of guns. During this period, there have been a significant increase in people applying for gun licenses and purchasing guns, which has made the gun-controlling supporters anxious.
As a candidate for the gun control sect, Barbara Burns's election situation was even negatively affected. She went to the hospital and while visiting her, she also hoped that Wang Lei could stand up and make remarks supporting gun control. As a superhero that is being sought after by everyone and a role model for the gun-holding faction, as long as Wang Lei supports gun-holding faction, the momentum of the gun-holding faction can overwhelm the gun-holding faction again.
After listening to Barbara Burns' request, Wang Lei thought about it before saying cautiously: "Mrs. Burns, before you came, some reporters hoped that I could express my position of possessing a gun or controlling a gun." "I thought about it carefully, especially after experiencing this shooting, I have some new views on the ownership of guns."
"I think that our current management and laws of guns cannot simply distinguish whether to own or control guns. We all know that Americans have the power to hold guns. This is stipulated in the Constitution. Mrs. Burns, including Mrs. Burns, will agree with this constitution and will not want to abolish the right to hold guns." "So, in this sense, we are all gun-holding factions and support people to possess guns." (To be continued!~!
