If life had a starting line, someone was born in Rome

Chapter 212 Absolute freedom will only lead to the exploitation of the weak by the strong! ([-]-in-[-])

Zhou Cheng's words were well-founded, gentle but firm, and left Zhao Laosan speechless.

He looked at Zhou Cheng with some embarrassment and fell into deep thought.

The kid usually teased cats and dogs, and he knew that, didn't he just let the dog be docile, so he let it go?
Seeing Zhao Laosan thinking, Zhou Cheng kept up his efforts and continued:
"I can understand your request to kill the dog. After all, your neighbor has a dog that bites people. How scary is that?"

"However, this dog has been owned for ten years, and the first time it bit someone was because of something like this. It is not really a vicious dog."

"As the old saying goes, it's better to make friends than to make enemies. Now that your decades of neighborly friendship are here, think about it again!"

After finishing his words, Old Man Wu made a sad face and apologized to Zhao Laosan again:

"sorry."

After a pause, he continued:

"...That dog, you have watched it grow up, how can you say kill it?"

"Excuse me, that dog is not a beast in my heart."

Zhao Laosan looked confused for a long time, and finally took a step back:
"It's fine if you don't kill the dog, but in addition to the apology you brought, you also need to buy new clothes from head to toe for the child, and the medical expenses also need to be paid."

After the words fell, Lin Feng, Zhou Cheng, Judge Li, and several children all smiled.

Old man Wu quickly handed over the basket:
"Okay, whatever you say is what you want, take this first!"

Zhao Laosan took the basket, finally showed a smile, and then looked at Old Man Wu and said narrowly:
"That dog of yours really ran away?"

Old man Wu showed an awkward smile:

"Whether he's running away or not... maybe I'll find him back one day. It's like an old dog recognizes its home."

"Hey, you old man!"

During the conversation, there was no longer the tense atmosphere before.

There was a tacit smile on everyone's faces.

After a few words, Zhao Laosan was speechless.

That child usually played around with cats and dogs, and he knew that. Didn't he let it go just because he wanted the dog to be docile?
Seeing Zhao Laosan's appearance, Zhou Cheng kept up his efforts and continued:
"I can understand your request to kill the dog. After all, your neighbor has a dog that bites people. How scary is that?"

"However, this dog has been owned for ten years, and the first time it bit someone was because of something like this. It is not really a vicious dog."

"As the old saying goes, it's better to make friends than to make enemies. Now that your decades of neighborly friendship are here, think about it again!"

After finishing his words, Old Man Wu made a sad face and apologized to Zhao Laosan again:

"sorry."

After a pause, he continued:

"...That dog, you have watched it grow up, how can you say kill it?"

"I beg you, that dog is not a beast in my heart."

Zhao Laosan looked confused for a long time, and finally took a step back:
"It's fine if you don't kill the dog, but in addition to the apology you brought, you also need to buy new clothes from head to toe for the child, and the medical expenses also need to be paid."

After the words fell, Lin Feng, Zhou Cheng, Judge Li, and several children all smiled.

Old man Wu quickly handed over the basket:
"Okay, whatever you say is what you want, take this first!"

Zhao Laosan took the basket, finally showed a smile, and then looked at Old Man Wu and said narrowly:
"That dog of yours really ran away?"

Old man Wu showed an awkward smile:

"Whether he's running away or not... maybe I'll find him back one day. It's like an old dog recognizes its home."

"Hey, you old man!"

During the conversation, there was no longer the tense atmosphere before.

There was a tacit smile on everyone's faces.

Wu Peng even smiled quietly at Zhang Yunshu beside him:

"Wouldn't it be better to just do this? What about that? It's better to dissolve enemies than to end them."

Zhang Yunshu nodded:
"We all understand the truth, and I believe Zhao Laosan also understands it. I feel that the reason why he holds on to it is because no one can help him understand the truth."

"Uncle Zhou Cheng is really good at mediating."

Wu Peng scratched his head and said belatedly:

"Yes, what Grandpa Li just said about flexible law enforcement and mediation, it turns out this is what it is all about."

Then, he thought of the court hearings he had seen on TV before, and had a somewhat different feeling:

"This is indeed more humane than tough demands and orders. At least what we just saw is not a cold legal provision."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunshu smiled softly and said in agreement:
"This is called the flexibility of law enforcement. It feels warmer and more powerful."

Zhou Zicheng was behind the two of them, listening to their conversation, and thought thoughtfully:

I thought that mediation would be particularly troublesome and cause more time to be wasted.

But now it seems that it is simpler and more useful than going to court.

In this way, things that are done for efficiency may not necessarily be efficient. Sometimes, detours are a shortcut.

At this moment, he was thinking a lot...

Sun Wei pursed her lips and smiled, looked at the two reconciled people in the scene, and tightened her grip on the paintbrush.

She was waiting for a moment.

At this time, Old Man Wu looked at Zhou Cheng, rubbed his hands, and said with an embarrassed smile:

"Judge, please testify that I voluntarily compensate Zhao Laosan for this basket of compensation, and he has already accepted it."

"Then, I will pay for the treatment of the frightened child, and I will personally take him to the market to buy clothes."

"As for my dog, do you think...?"

Old man Wu looked at Zhou Cheng expectantly, waiting for him to speak.

Zhou Cheng smiled slightly and asked Zhao Laosan:

"Do you agree with what Old Man Wu said just now?"

Zhao Laosan counted the apology items in the basket and said with satisfaction:
"The etiquette is enough, I agree."

Zhou Cheng nodded and made the final decision:
"Then you can't kill Old Man Wu's dog anymore!"

After finishing speaking, he solemnly said to the two of them:

"You two come here, I will write a mediation document for you, sign it, and put your fingerprints on it."

"If you are not convinced by this mediation, you can come to me again."

"You are absolutely not allowed to show off your cruelty in private, do you understand?"

Zhao Lao San and Wu Lao San nodded hurriedly when they heard Zhou Cheng's words.

"understood!"

"Judge, don't worry. As a man, I will never mention the matter of killing that dog again."

"Good good."

While talking, Zhou Cheng had already filled out the mediation form, and the two of them pressed their fingerprints on the document.Holding the mediation letter, Old Man Wu was as happy as the Chinese New Year:
"Thank you two judges! Thank you. You really saved my dog's life. I thank you on his behalf!"

Zhao Laosan gave Old Man Wu a non-malicious look and muttered:
"Exit..."

But after Mr. Wu finished speaking, Mr. Zhao hurriedly said to the two judges:

"Thank you for helping me solve the problem. This matter has turned over a new leaf!"

Seeing this scene, the audience in the live broadcast room also raised their lips.

"Thank you both judges!"

"Don't you want to thank Wu Peng and the others? Their calves are also running fast."

"Thank you all! Thanks to everyone's efforts, this matter finally has a good result!"

"Old Man Wu's dog should have found a way home, right? [Eating Melon]"

"Hahaha, wait until this dog comes back, teach it a lesson, and stop causing trouble every day."

"That's right, if you cause a fatal disaster, you have to flee to another place [Dog Head]"

"Hahaha, teach me well!"

"When I saw you guys say this, I suddenly felt a little emotional. Dogs need to be taught well, but what about children?"

"We are joking when we say we educate dogs. How can we teach dogs? But children are different. They really need to be taught!"

"I would say that the child and his parents should come today and let the two judges teach them a lesson!"

"Children don't understand anything. Once parents let it go, just being bitten by a dog is a trivial matter. If they encounter a greater danger, it will be too late to truly regret it!"

“Raising a dog requires tethering, using a chain, and raising a child requires tethering, but using principles and ideas.”

"Your statement is interesting! I want to move it online and discuss it with netizens."

"Discuss? Actually, I think we can add another item to discuss the limits of freedom."

"How to say?"

"For example, do children have freedom? Yes. So we tacitly agree that raising a child cannot be tied up, but does he have absolute freedom? No, because today's incident has shown that if you let your child go unchecked, something will happen."

"There's a lot to discuss! For example, to what extent do dog owners have to fulfill their obligations? Is there any legal reason not to pay compensation?"

"Damn it, when I saw you guys discussing it, I just felt like there was a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the live broadcast room!"

"Move it and wait for the opinions and suggestions from netizens!"

"..."

…………

At this moment, it’s almost time to get off work in the afternoon.

After a whole afternoon of hard work, many people are used to taking out their mobile phones at this moment, touching fish and adjusting their status.

Those who don't usually have time to watch the live broadcast of the program group, but are fans of Lin Feng, also habitually search for keywords related to the program group.

Then, everyone saw a very typical judge’s mediation scene.

When a dog bites someone, and then the dog "runs" away, it's very dramatic.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that the bitten child was teasing the dog first and foremost.

Lin Feng also proposed that companion animals cannot be managed according to livestock management methods.

Flexible enforcement by two judges...

The warmth of the law was vividly demonstrated in this mediation!

It also aroused the resonance and thinking of countless netizens.

Because of this, the topic of scarves is springing up like mushrooms after a rain, and connections keep popping up.

[The law also has temperature and elasticity, thumbs up to the two judges]

[Teacher Lin Feng speaks out about the voices of pet owners—livestock management methods are not applicable to companion pets]

[The bear parents behind the naughty children, where do they go from here regarding parental obligations? 】

[Watch Teacher Lin Feng’s live broadcast and think about what “freedom” is, the freedom to raise pets and the freedom of children]

【…】

The majority of netizens are already used to Lin Feng occupying a place in the hot search list for scarves, but this is the first time that a video can trigger so many levels of thinking.

As a result, countless netizens wrote down their thoughts, which directly ignited the topic!
"As a non-professional legal professional, I have always thought that the law is majestic, superior, and naturally cold. But today's class made me understand that the law is also gentle, and I want to study law."

"I am a law student who is about to graduate, and Judge Zhou and Judge Li are my future career role models!"

"As a working legal practitioner, I applaud the two judges. The law has always been a cold image in the eyes of non-professionals, but today, your flexible law enforcement has allowed the world to understand the flexibility of the law. and tolerance, thank you!”

"Does Teacher Lin understand the law? Every word he said hit the key points. Before, the law was about human relationships, but now it is about the management of companion pets and not livestock. As a pet owner, I was very excited when I heard this."

"I really hope the relevant departments can hear Teacher Lin's appeal, because this is also the voice of our pet owners."

"As for today's incident, I can actually understand Mr. Wu. He has obviously tied up the dog, so how can something happen? Just like me, when I go out to walk my dog, I also wear a leash. When I see the child, I Run far away, because some parents are really exaggerating, saying that their children and dogs breathe the same air, and they want to be vaccinated.”

"Upstairs, to say the least, such parents are actually quite responsible. At least their children won't tease dogs. Some parents really don't care about their children's troubles. They wait until something goes wrong before they start to hold people accountable. But the damage has already been done. Well, to be honest, it won’t help.”

"What bear parents say most often is: 'I can't help what happens to my child, this is his freedom'. To this, what I want to say is, we pet owners also have freedom!"

"To be fair, whether you are a parent or a pet owner, you all have 'freedom', but this freedom is premised on restraint. Parents must restrain their children from engaging in dangerous behaviors, and pet owners must also restrain their pets, such as taking Leash."

"The person upstairs is not a critic, but I saw your comment and I don't understand it: Aren't freedom and constraint opposite? Why do you use constraint to mean freedom?"

"I'm a lawyer, let me answer your questions."

"Our current society is a society that advocates freedom, but many times, freedom can lead to indulgence. At least, for me personally, I clearly know that when I have unfettered freedom, even if my heart is longing for nobility Yes, but because of absolute freedom, when I face a choice, I will definitely choose the option that is despicable but beneficial to me."

“So, in the eyes of legal professionals, freedom must be restricted, at least by necessary restrictions of ethical norms.”

"Let me give another practical example. Legally, important personal interests cannot be punished. For example, we cannot buy or sell our body's organs, even if it is an adult, even if he clearly knows the seriousness of removing organs. The consequences are unacceptable! Because if we let this go and all organs can be exchanged clearly, rich people will always offer a price that is irresistible and have people sell their organs to them."

"So, if people are allowed to exercise unfettered freedom, it will definitely lead to the exploitation of the weak by the strong."

"Freedom must be constrained by rules. Well, I hope my answer can help you."

"So that's it. I've learned a lesson. Thank you for your answer!"

"I understand, freedom must be restricted, respect the rights of others, and fulfill one's responsibilities. Just like today's incident, Mr. Wu must restrain his dog, and parents of children must also restrain their children. It’s the right path.”

"..."

Discussions by countless netizens, as well as popular science about the fate of legal professionals, have caused this matter to create unprecedented waves!
After the popularity continued to rise, it actually alarmed the officials.

Then, the official account ended in person!
City Management Group: “In today’s society, keeping pets has become a part of countless people’s lives, but our group has not done enough to manage this aspect. From now on, our group will openly solicit opinions from the public and draft the “Companion Animals” "Management Measures", we hope that netizens will actively contribute their opinions and suggestions."

Education Team: "Dear parents: Family education is the cornerstone of children's education. Good family education will benefit children throughout their lives. In public places, every word, deed, and action of a child is a reflection of the results of family education. . To do a good job in education requires joint efforts from you and me."

Legal team: "Pay tribute to all front-line legal personnel, and praise the judges on horseback!"

Xiaoqingtuan: "Thumbs up for the unique class brought by Teacher Lin Feng! This kind of class is what our teenagers love to watch!"

The emergence of countless official accounts has brought the influence of Lin Feng's class to another level.

Things continue to ferment!
