BMW owners get drunk and make a scene. Workers are injured by golf clubs in the factory (Figure)






Vehicle involved


    At noon yesterday, a young man driving a BMW after drinking wanted to enter the Fenhe Wood Products Co., Ltd. in Qingpu District. After being rejected, the young man waved a golf club and had a dispute with the workers, and many people were injured in the dispute. At present, the police have intervened in the investigation. At about 4 pm yesterday, the police said that the man had sobered up, but what is the identity of the man and what responsibilities should be borne by both parties to the conflict will be announced after the investigation is clear.


    Scene 1: A man driving a BMW wants to break into a factory.


    At 12 noon yesterday, it was the lunch break of Fenhe Wood Products Co., Ltd.


    As usual, the worker He Gansheng and the doorman were playing cards in the security room. While playing in the mood, a rush of horns interrupted everyone’s good interest, and the workers looked up one after another and saw a black BMW parked outside the iron gate of the factory. When He Gansheng saw this, he put down his cards and walked to the door. He saw the window slowly rolling down and a young man leaned out.


    "He has a beard, is of medium height, wears casual clothes and has a strong smell of wine." He Gansheng recalled to reporters.


    "Open the door! Open the door quickly! " The owner of BMW asked He Gansheng to open the factory door and let him in. He Gansheng asked him, "What can I do for you when you enter the factory?" This question attracted the dissatisfaction of BMW owners, who insisted on entering the factory.


    Because the owner of BMW couldn’t tell the reason for entering the factory, and there were rules and regulations in the factory that "no other vehicles are allowed to enter except for business relations", He Gansheng said "you can’t enter the factory casually without special things" and then turned back to the security room.


    Act II: Refused entry into the factory. BMW owners dance golf clubs.


    When the workers saw He Gansheng coming back, they all asked, "What can I do for the BMW driver?" He Gansheng told the workers what had just happened, but his voice did not fall. He saw that the BMW owner had rushed into the security room and the BMW car was still parked outside the factory gate. Obviously, he came in from an unlocked side door. Everyone immediately dropped the cards in their hands and stood up. Before everyone could speak, the BMW owner asked loudly, "Why don’t you work but play cards together?"


    He Gansheng and the doorman explained: "From 11: 30 to 12: 10, it is a lunch break, and we are now in a normal rest."


    However, BMW owners still repeat: "Why don’t you work?" And claimed to be from the city government. When everyone saw that the young man was inarticulate and repeated a word, coupled with the smell of alcohol, they concluded that the man was drunk, so everyone worked together to push the BMW owner out of the door.


    When everyone thought that things could end here, an unexpected scene happened. I saw the BMW master and slave take out a golf club from the trunk and rush into the security room again waving it. In the chaos, there was a dispute between the two sides, and the BMW owners and some workers were "hanged". When He Gansheng saw that the situation was not good, he stopped the BMW owners and workers on both sides with his body and finally pushed the BMW owners out of the door.


    Act III: The BMW owner did not have an alcohol test to check the injury first.


    After the BMW owners were pushed out of the factory by the workers, they put away their golf clubs and drove away. A room full of workers looked at the BMW that was far away, and they all felt a little inexplicable. What exactly does this BMW owner do? Why did he insist on entering the factory? Will he come again?


    Before the workers in the timber factory could figure out what happened, the BMW owner and the police came to the factory again. According to the memories of the police at Xianghuaqiao Police Station in Qingpu District, they received an alarm from a young man at about 12: 50 pm. The young man claimed that he was injured by the workers of Fenhe Wood Products Co., Ltd., so the police rushed to the factory. He Gansheng and several other workers and Manager Zhang of the factory operation department were taken to Xianghuaqiao Police Station, while the young man went to the hospital for an examination.


    Scene 4: BMW owners are drunk and can’t take notes.


    The police investigating the case told the reporter that because the young man was injured in the fight, he was not tested for alcohol, but was sent to the hospital for examination. As for who this young man really is, according to the police, young people sometimes talk loudly and excitedly on the way to the hospital, and sometimes they are delirious and ask questions, so the police can’t make a record until the young man wakes up.


    The identity of the young man driving a BMW and the reason for the dispute are still unclear, but Matt Wong of Qingpu District Public Security Bureau told the reporter that if the man is determined to be drunk driving after taking an alcohol test, he will be restrained by the traffic management department of the public security organ until he wakes up in accordance with the Road Traffic Safety Law, and will be detained for less than 15 days, detained for more than 3 months and less than 6 months, and fined for more than 2,000 yuan in 500 yuan. Matt Wong also said that being drunk and hurting people can’t be used as a reason to be exempted from legal responsibility, but whose responsibility it is and whether young people are drunk driving need to be further ascertained.


    The latest news: Before the deadline, the police released the latest news: BMW owners claimed to have gone to the wrong door because of drinking too much, but refused to admit defeat because of the strength of drinking, which led to an argument with the workers in the timber factory.

American illegal dog fighting football players formally plead guilty and face up to five years in prison.

     





    On August 27th, American football star michael vick (centre) left the Richmond District Court in Virginia, USA. On the same day, michael vick, who was criticized for his involvement in illegal dog fighting, attended a hearing in the Virginia District Court and formally pleaded guilty. District Court Judge Henry Hudson said that Vic’s plea agreement may not help him reduce his punishment, and he still faces up to five years in prison. Dog fighting is illegal in 50 States in the United States, and 48 of them even make it a felony. Xinhua News Agency/Reuters


    American football star michael vick, who was criticized for his involvement in illegal dog fighting, attended a hearing in the Virginia District Court on the 27th and formally pleaded guilty. Vic apologized to the public for his behavior. He said that he is not mature enough and needs to grow up.


    District Court Judge Henry Hudson said that Vic’s plea agreement may not help him reduce his punishment, and he still faces up to five years in prison.


    punish severely


    Vic arrived at the court to attend the hearing accompanied by supporters and lawyers on the 27th, and also waiting outside the court were protesters holding up photos of "defeated dogs" who were injured in dog fighting competitions. Dog fighting is a bloody game, and Vic has been strongly criticized by the media and animal protectionists.


    At the hearing, Judge Hudson asked Vic, "In an conspiracy charge, do you admit guilt because you are really guilty?" Vic replied, "Yes, your honor."


    Dog fighting is illegal in 50 States in the United States, and 48 of them even make it a felony. A new bill passed by the US Congress stipulates that "dog fighting" in cross-border transportation is a federal crime. According to the relevant laws and regulations, if convicted, Vic faces up to five years in prison.


    Prosecutor Chuck Rosenberg said in a statement: "The person who committed dog fighting for the first time may not be sentenced to imprisonment, but we believe that this case is disgusting, cruel and inhuman, so three of the four defendants, including Vic, should be punished more severely."


    The prosecutor suggested that the judge sentence Vic to 12 to 18 months’ imprisonment.


    Hudson said that the prosecutor’s suggestion is of great significance to the judgment, but even so, the final judgment is not completely limited by the prosecution’s suggestion.


    "You must face any decision I make," Hudson told Vic in court. "If I think you need to serve five years, you must obey." Vic replied again, "Yes, your honor."

    apology


    Vic, 27, is the star quarterback of Atlanta Falcon, an American professional football team. His 10-year salary of $130 million ranks second among NFL players.


    Vic told the media on the 27th that he apologized to the public for "everything I have done". He not only apologized to his coach, teammates and NFL, but also apologized for "immature behavior to all children".


    "What I did is very immature, which means I need to grow up," Vic said. "I am responsible for my actions, and now I have to pay for it."


    Vic said that he was "disappointed" with himself and "through this incident, I realized my mistake".


    "Fighting dogs is a bad thing, and I should resist such a thing," he said. "I apologize to everyone and I will redeem myself. I have to do this. "


    Vic admitted on the 24th that he and three other people participated in an illegal inter-state dog fighting organization called "Bad News from Dog kennel" from 2001 to April 2007, and funded dog fighting activities, and admitted that the activities of this dog fighting organization involved gambling and his own participation in the execution of defeated dogs.







    This picture taken in June 2006 shows a dog that will be used for dog fighting in Northampton County, North Carolina, USA. In the United States, the scene and consequences of dog fighting are quite cruel. The duration of a dog fighting is as short as 15 minutes and as long as five or six hours until one dog bites the neck of another dog. All 50 States in the United States stipulate that dog fighting is illegal, and 48 of them even list dog fighting as a felony. Even so, the bloody game of dog fighting is still rampant in the United States. Xinhua News Agency/AFP


    lose


    Vic’s dog fighting behavior not only faced legal sanctions, but also dealt a heavy blow to his football career. Vic has lost most of his sponsorship since he was accused. Nike, a sporting goods manufacturer, suspended the release of a sports shoe named after Vic.


    The NFL announced a one-season ban on Vic. Atlanta’s "Falcon" team said that they would not fire Vic immediately, because he had received a dividend of $22 million from the contract signed with the team in 2004, and the "Falcon" team hoped that Vic would return the money.


    In a letter to Vic on 24th, Roger Ghoder, a member of NFL Committee, said: "What you admit is not only illegal, but also cruel and should be condemned. Your team, NFL and fans are all hurt by your actions. " (Yan Chao)
