妻儿挨饿去抢劫,店员同情做比萨 2013-01-25 05:37:12

今天从yahoo新闻上看来的。蒙大拿州一家Papa John’s半夜快打烊时,一男人拿着刀闯入店中,命令店员把当天的营业收入交出来,店员遵命把钱交给他,不想这抢劫的哥们居然哭了起来,他说之所以抢劫是因为他没钱给挨饿的老婆孩子买食物。店员于是大发慈悲,和抢劫者边聊边为他做了比萨和鸡翅,抢劫者也耐心地等候,最后带着食物离开。店员的这一做法,警察也交口称赞。新闻开头两句挺有哲理味儿:当一件罪案发生时,不一定非黑即白;因为有些人犯罪,并不意味着他就是坏人。

When a crime is committed, it’s not always a matter of black and white: Just because someone commits a crime does not mean that person is automatically bad. Take what happened at a Papa John’s in the Helena, Montana, area. A man, armed with a knife, allegedly walked into the pizzeria early Tuesday morning as the staff was closing for the night and passed the clerk a note demanding money from the register.

When the clerk began taking money out of the register to give to the alleged robber, the robber began to cry. As he cried, he explained to the clerk that he needed money for his wife and children, who were hungry. The warm-hearted clerk spoke to the man and decided to make him a pizza and some chicken wings. The man waited patiently at a table while the clerk prepared the meal, and when it was done, he took the food and left.

Helena Police Chief Troy McGee hailed the clerk for handling the delicate and dangerous situation so well. “I’d say the clerk was pretty astute; I mean, he knows how to talk to this person. Kind of commiserated with him a little. Talked to him about it and you know actually changed his mind about robbing the place. That was pretty good.”

谢谢随笔博评论。造成美国社会不公还有一重要因素:大公司和富人的逃税避税行为,中产阶级税负加重。

这是本人前不久写的一段有关美国下层人群的评论,放在此,算是给院士的博文做的脚注:

As remote from the greatness as we are from Mars, the 20% downtrodden live in their own pool of urine. Unable to pass drug test and background check for job applications and the only skill sets they possess are Xbox related, they are deemed unfit for the economic jungle of iron and concrete. The only jobs available are in the substance supply industry. Their cry for help is responded by militarized police SWAT teams. They revenge by abusing their family if they have one and abusing alcohol if they don’t. They are trapped in the basement of the society, the ladder is removed and the lid sealed, no social mobility whatsoever, living like zoo animals, wailing for succor, smoking the Olympic rings out of weeds, fed but tightly confined with no chance to escape.

美国机会不均等的社会现象日益严重,你的上篇有关“拼爹系数”的博文所反映的美国逐渐偏离平民社会的趋势这个事实是显而易见的,而且在目前的政治机制下看不到有任何制衡的力量加以制止。 这就是就会使美国衰落的开始。
