Chapter 259 You can talk about anything
Martin followed behind Tommy, and asked in a low voice, "Boss, don't tell me, you also did this."
Tommy walked to a coffee stall on the side of the road near the park in the middle of the street and beckoned the stall owner to give him a cup of coffee and a piece of waffle. After taking the food handed by the boss, Tommy took a bite, glanced at Martin, and then continued to move forward go.
Martin took out his wallet and gave the boss a note. He didn't care to wait for the boss to change, so he continued to chase after Tommy and asked, "Why? I mean...I'm the campaign manager. I should know about Jeff's campaign arrangements."
"Martin, it was an accident, so it's normal for you not to know, and you're not dark enough, no, I mean, of course your skin is very dark." Tommy swallowed the waffle, took a sip of coffee, and stood Looking at Mrs. Parker who was telling the tragic past with a large loudspeaker in front of the park, she said calmly:
"But your company is not enough. Those employees need to observe for a long time to determine whether they are trustworthy. Otherwise, I can't bear to see Page running around until you have a group of people who don't care if you are too dark. , and don't care who you let him be, you are qualified to be responsible for these dirty little tricks, if one day, I will use the same trick to tease black people, and after you hear it, the reaction and Paige If you are as indifferent, it means that you have almost adapted to this kind of life."
Martin rubbed his face vigorously, and sent a message through the walkie-talkie: "Attention, on-site team members, this is an emergency, but don't step forward, stay tuned, listen to my news before acting."
Mrs. Parker held her grandson in front of her body with one hand and a trumpet in the other. She told the camera and more and more onlookers about the tragic experience of her son and wife. She said with tears:
"I know I shouldn't be here, but I don't know where to go now. I can only use this stupid method to find the reporters who insist on justice on the TV station, and the only compatriots I can trust. After my husband and I died Before that, make the last sound you can."
"It is the strong candidate of the Democratic Party in this district today, Ms. Rosario Kennedy, who presided over the trial bill that killed my son and his wife! She let the criminals who should have been sentenced to life imprisonment or even hanged walked out. Prison! Let them kill again! She made a mistake! But she doesn’t need to take any responsibility! She can even walk out of prison like those prisoners who made mistakes, and continue to run for the House of Representatives with great fanfare!”
While talking, her husband opened a large poster with trembling hands and showed it to everyone. On it was a bust of Rosario Kennedy with two blood-red demons painted on his head by a child. There are also **** fangs protruding from its mouth, and there is a line of words beside it: "This demon killed my parents!"
The flashing lights kept flashing at the poster. Mrs. Parker held her grandson's shoulder weakly and gasped for a while, before she braced herself and continued:
"I know I shouldn't be questioning this candidate behind me because he probably doesn't know me and hasn't heard about it, but... he was used by the **** Rosario Kennedy, by the **** Democrats! I just quietly listened to all his self-introductions in the corner. He is an ordinary plumber, volunteers, likes children, has been a soldier, and has a harmonious family. There are six candidates like this in the Democratic Party’s election! What does this mean? , This is a conspiracy between that evil woman and the Democratic Party! In order to ensure their election, they dilute the votes by provoking those ordinary people who should not be elected, or who have no hope of running for the election, to stabilize their own vote pool and ensure that they can be elected in one fell swoop !"
"That woman must have done this! She is so vicious! She clearly committed a crime, but she still said it was humanitarian care. If criminals also need humanitarian care, what does the United States need police and prisons for? Just let this This kind of woman directly decides who gets caught and goes to jail, and who can get out of prison at will! Maybe one day, she can introduce a bill to put all Jews in prison for the sake of the Cubans!"
When the audience heard the old woman's last words, there was an uproar. A younger policeman spoke kindly and carefully reminded: "Madam, please pay attention to your tone and wording, this kind of words are a bit dangerous."
"You say I'm dangerous. Do you think I'm a Jewish woman whose son was killed?" The old woman stared at the policeman who looked younger than her son:
"I'm dangerous just for telling the truth! And that Cuban woman who killed Jews in America is running for Congress?"
The mature policeman next to him patted his companion on the shoulder, and used his body to block Mrs. Parker's gaze from staring at her companion, and said in a low voice, "Don't speak casually, here are all Jews, maybe that congresswoman will be fine, but these Jews If provoked, complaining can get you suspended as easily as they count the money."
Mrs. Parker was very emotional, and some elderly Jews also spoke to comfort her at this time, telling her to find a place to rest first. Mrs. Parker shook her head. The Jeff family on her background panel bowed slightly to Jeff, then took a loudspeaker and said sincerely to her mouth:
"I'm so sorry, young man, I know it wasn't fair to you, I ruined your rally..."
Jeff quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, my rally is not important at all, you can speak freely, ma'am."
The old woman wiped her tears: "I hope you can forgive me... I have no other choice. During this time, I kept telling myself one sentence."
"Justice doesn't exist, it doesn't matter, mother is still here, I'm sorry, child." After the old woman finished speaking, she reached for her waist and raised an old-fashioned pistol in full view of everyone!
However, she did not aim at anyone, but raised the muzzle of the gun to the sky, and pulled the trigger without any hesitation in the camera!
"Bang bang bang bang bang~"
People squatted down with their heads in their hands in exclamation. Jeff pushed the children to his wife, and he rushed towards the child in front of Mrs. Parker. The moment Mrs. Parker pulled the trigger, he threw the child on the ground. Ground, use the body to block the opponent under the body.
The bullets emptied in the blink of an eye, until the bullets emptied, the two policemen came back to their senses, raised their weapons and loudly signaled Mrs. Parker to put down the gun and raised her hands. Mrs. Parker did not resist. She dropped the pistol and put her hands behind her head. Two policemen came over and locked their hands behind their backs, but struggled towards their husband and grandson, showing a tearful smile: "I'm sorry, I only have this method, I only have this method, let everyone pay attention to the existence of this matter .”
When the gunshot rang out, Martin put his arms around Tommy and hid behind a nearby streetlight. After the gunshot was over, he poked his head out cautiously, and asked in shock to Tommy, who cared about whether the coffee had been spilled: "What is it?" What's the matter? Mom? This is an election? Just because the woman's last name is Kennedy, she's going to get shot in the head like her husband's great-grandfather? Wait, look at Jeff...Jeff you told me too? He... He hugged the kid! He hugged the kid! God!"
"That's not my design, it's his instinct. After all, Jeff likes children, but you understand the following plot." Tommy said while biting the waffle.
The police first restrained Mrs. Parker, and then searched Mr. Parker and the child carefully. After confirming that neither of them had any weapons, they prepared to take the two of them away from the scene together with Mrs. Parker. At this time, Jeff picked up the child and took Turned up the big loudspeaker:
"The child is innocent, he has been terrified today, don't let him go to the police station to see a darker scene."
"Sir, hand him over to us. I guarantee that he will be properly taken care of at the police station. Also, please pay attention to the wording. If you pursue your words just now, it is suspected of defaming the police and judicial justice." The old policeman stepped forward, and Jie Husband negotiates.
"Do I still need to slander? If the police station is not dark, the most important thing you should do at this moment is to arrest the real murderer who killed the child's parents! Instead of letting her run for the senator!" Jeff seemed An angry lion roared loudly.
The onlookers who were startled just now also came back to their senses at this time. Hearing Jeff's roar, and seeing that the police had already taken away not only two old people, but also the little boy wearing a Jewish cap, they immediately Someone couldn't help saying yes: "That's right! You should go catch the murderer who killed the child's parents! Instead of showing your prestige to an old lady who is shooting into the sky!"
"Call the Jewish Association of the South Side! Tell them to go to the police station and help bail this couple out!"
People talked in a hurry, and even a few strong Jews surrounded Jeff and yelled at the police, wanting to help him protect the terrified man, now hugging Jeff and burying his head on his shoulders little boy.
"Get out of the way, gentlemen!" The policeman put his hand on the holster nervously: "You are disrupting the order of the assembly and obstructing the police from performing their official duties. This is a crime! Back off!"
"Everyone, get out of the way, don't let yourself get hurt, Martin! Martin! Let my people handle this!" Jeff persuaded the Jews around him, and then shouted.
Tommy kicked Martin, who was still frightened and half squatting, looking around: "Order your on-site team and lawyers to rush over and force the police away. The dinner begins, and the well-known lawyers who help the elderly for free are already heading to the police station." on the way."
Martin picked up the walkie-talkie: "Linda, Todd, take the lawyer to deal with the police, let the lawyer go with the old man to the police station, and there will be a lawyer who stands up because of a sense of justice to take over."
Soon, the staff of the election team and the lawyer who had been on standby rushed over. The lawyer was very professional in this matter, and soon left the two policemen speechless. After contacting the police headquarters, they left the child with Jeff. Two more police cars were arranged to maintain order, and then the two elderly people, accompanied by Jeff's lawyer, were brought back to the police station.
When the police left, the nearby Jews came over to pick up the child on Jeff's body, but the child seemed terrified, hugging Jeff's neck tightly and refused to come down, and did not respond to anyone's words.
"I have asked my team members to contact the child psychologist, and they are on their way." Jeff patted the boy on the back and said to everyone: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm sorry, I let you get to know each other in this way." Me, I know the Democrats, I say I don't know these things, it seems a little hypocritical, but it is true, these things happen, I don't want to continue this **** fundraiser, I'm sorry, I just want to go back The Office of the Democratic Party Committee in the 18th District to determine whether this incident is real."
"What if it exists?" A reporter stepped forward and asked Jeff.
Jeff looked at her and said calmly: "Either let the Democratic Party office in the 18th district fire that woman, or I quit the Democratic Party. In short, I can't be with the murderer."
"You are a candidate for the 18th District, but this is the South District, and the 18th District is in the North District of Miami. Why did you come to the South District to hold a fundraising rally?" The reporter asked suspiciously.
The Jews at the scene were also a little confused. This strong white man looked like he was not very smart, and what he said really confirmed that his brain was worthy of his appearance. A candidate for the 18th district of the North District, Came to the completely irrelevant Coral Street in the South District to canvass and raise money?
Does he think that the Jews in the Southern District will dislike their money and have no place to spend it, or do they think that the Jewish minds are as weird as him?
Donate to the district councilors, at least you can get something in return. Donate to other district councilors, it is better to buy a ticket for a talk show. After all, the speeches of the councilors will only make people drowsy, and the talk show can at least make me laugh a few times. Voice.
Jeff took a deep breath, and then said sincerely: "My campaign manager also told me the same, saying that I should focus on the voters in this district, and no one would pay attention to me when I came to the South District. The fact is the same. Our family stands here. For a long time, no one wants to listen to what I have to say, but I don't regret it, and I'm not just here for fundraising. Although this district is not my constituency, I feel that speaking what I want to say here is more representative of me. determination, even if no one listens."
During elections, there may be some non-constituency companies or organizations donating to candidates, but it is usually because they need him to speak out for them in Congress, or to show their favor in the candidate’s district. Ordinary people seldom do so here In this kind of regional congressional elections, support members who are not in the district, unless his personal charm is too dazzling and powerful enough to make people ignore the geographical restrictions.
But the big man with a fierce face in front of him is obviously not this kind of person.
But even though they thought Jeff was a fool, the two or three hundred onlookers around him did not leave. They were as curious as the reporter, wanting to figure out why this fool with a poor brain wanted to spread the word across districts. What.
"Uh... Shall I talk now?" Jeff looked at the reporter, then at the camera, hesitated for a while, and finally did not take out the speech, but said directly: "Okay, thank you, everyone, for giving me a chance to speak. "
"My name is Jeff Lavine, I'm a plumber repairman with my wife and four children behind me, and I'm running for a seat in Congress in Miami's 18th district special election under the slogan 'For the Cubans' Say No'."
As soon as the slogan was uttered, there were angry boos at the scene. After all, Little Havana is next door, and there are some Cuban people among the onlookers at the moment. Hearing the slogan of this strong white man, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Why did you choose this slogan? Why did you come to Coral Street? As early as my great-great-grandfather, the LaVine family had settled in Miami, Florida. According to my deceased father, our family has always lived in the South Side, not now. In the North District, the Lavin family has lived on Outjo Street in the South District for hundreds of years. It was not until 1959 that we moved from Outjo Street in the South District to our current residence in the North District. My grandfather was a carpenter. His most proud work is It is a beautiful oak English-style carved wine cabinet that I personally made for the Round Light Bar on Outjo Street. My grandfather always thought that the wine cabinet could last at least a hundred years. Unfortunately, it has only been thirty years. The wine cabinet, together with the bar Just disappeared, why, because the Cubans came, and their numbers increased, and they occupied Ocho Street, ganged up on the old neighbors, threatened, made noise, robbed, stole, and my father said that Little Havana used to be called Ocho Street, the street is full of friendly and cheerful European Jewish neighbors, but there are fewer and fewer Jews, and more and more Cubans with fierce eyes. Finally, our family can’t bear the trouble, and moved to the North District, Round Light Bar It was also destroyed by an arson by a Cuban alcoholic."
These words stunned many elderly Jews at the scene. The Round Light Bar, a name that has been buried in the depths of memory for a long time, is definitely not something that the young and strong man in front of him should know. At this moment, he can say this name, It shows that he is telling the truth, because the Round Light Bar was indeed burned down in 1959, and it was indeed set on fire maliciously by a Cuban alcoholic.
Jeff’s words also brought back memories of the old Jewish people. Outjo Street and Coral Street are both Jewish-dominated living areas. Since the 1920s, Jews have lived here, and they live in harmony with the whites and blacks nearby. Thing, until the Cubans came, these Cubans were so crazy, like cockroaches, when you saw one Cuban on the street, there were at least a hundred hiding nearby.
In this way, the Cubans seized the Ocho Street, and the whites and Jews were forced to leave the Ocho Street by the worse and worse living conditions, and retreated to the Coral Street. When they were completely occupied by the Cubans, the Ocho Street was renamed by them for Little Havana.
Jeff said loudly: "That's why I chose this sentence as my campaign slogan! I don't like the Cubans! Why don't I like the Cubans, because the Cubans came across the ocean and took us away. The streets we live in have taken away our jobs and our social welfare, and now, the Cubans are going to take away our state power! They are running for parliament, and they blatantly shouted that the 18th District is the tenth place of the Cubans. Such an arrogant slogan from District 8!"
"When did the land of our Americans become the land of the Cubans? My good fathers, the good Jews once backed down and gave way to Ocho Street, and the result? Do the Cubans know how to be grateful? No, they occupied Ocho Street. Joe Street, and quickly invaded the whole of Miami. I remember that there were only Jewish shops selling cigars, coffee beans, straw hats, flowered shirts, Cuban specialties, etc. Now? Every seaside, you can only see Cubans in Tout, they're not only taking the land, they're taking the business that good Americans depend on for a living!"
The Jews present once again wanted to applaud Jeff. Indeed, before the Cubans came, the tourism small commodity business in the South District was almost dominated by their Jews, but after the Cubans occupied Miami, almost all the Jews were forced to quit the small commodities. In the retail industry, there is no way. Before the Jews peddled Cuban cigars, they were all genuine products. They cooperated with Cuban smugglers and smuggled them to Florida. Then the Jews ate these goods and went to various tourist attractions to sell them. After the state, the Cubans completed the closed loop in the business chain, and the Jews could no longer buy goods, and gradually withdrew from the industry.
So when Jeff mentioned this incident, it reminded the Jews of the resentment they had towards the Cubans in the past. Things like moving can be tolerated, but things like grabbing business are unacceptable to the Jews.
"I don't want to get involved in politics because I don't understand it. That's not what I should do. What I should do is to help people fix broken pipes. The country is broken and needs politicians to repair it."
"I don't want to discriminate against anyone, and I don't want to hurt anyone. Before I ran, I was passionate about helping anyone I could, whether he was white, black, yellow, Christian, Jewish or Orthodox. .”
“I always feel that people should help each other, we should not hate each other or be hostile to each other. This world is beautiful, and this land is rich enough for each of us to have enough food and clothing.”
"Until the Cubans showed up, until I heard those campaign slogans that made me so angry that I couldn't bear it. The Republican candidate said on TV that her slogan was: Cubans run the Cuban district. Because Cubans occupy 45 of the 18th district." % of the population, the Democratic candidate said on TV: This must be a Cuban seat! Because it's time for Cubans to elect their first Cuban-American citizen to Congress."
"After reading this, I want to say, **** you Cubans! This is the United States, and that seat is called the seat of the United States House of Representatives, not the seat of the **** Cuban House of Representatives! You bastards, you don't have the guts to wrestle with Castro, but Want to take advantage of America!"
"Fuck you, Cuba! Fuck you, Cubans! This is my campaign slogan: Fuck you, say No to Cubans loudly!"
“If this country is so serious that it needs Cubans who don’t understand **** and only know how to **** blood to govern it! Then it’s better for me, a worker who only knows how to repair pipes, to govern it!”
"At least I love this country more than the Cubans!"
"I didn't starve to death with the food donated by the United States, I didn't have to sleep on the street with the tents donated by the United States, and I got my citizenship thanks to the kindness of the Americans. After eating and drinking enough, I continued to treat myself as a Cuban! Now, give him back Mom stood up and boasted that she wanted to govern for the Americans?"
“If even the Cubans dare to jump out and say that it is their turn to step on the stage and manage this country after being oppressed for a long time, I would like to ask, why can’t the Jews, who are more miserable than the Cubans, manage this country!”
"Why can't this country be run by black people who are more miserable than Cubans! Why not even run by the countless Asians who gave their lives for American railroads!"
"At least the Jews, whites, blacks, and Asians have sacrificed too much for this country, and after the Cubans smuggled into the United States in large numbers in 1955, they gave birth to small Cuban cubs like anchovies with amazing fecundity, and then used a bunch of cubs They have never done anything other than blood-sucking social welfare! Most of them rely on social welfare and odd jobs for a living, and many of them don’t even know what taxation means, because the word taxation has been used from the day they arrived in this country Never showed up."
"What's even more frightening is that these Cubans will send money back to Cuba, urging their Cuban relatives to continue to smuggle in, and then come to the United States to give birth to Cuban cubs, taking away everyone's social welfare, generation after generation, just like that, from the very beginning 10,000 people, 40,000 people, and then the whole of Miami fell, the whole of Florida fell, and without Cuba fighting us, these Cubans completed the legal invasion."
"Then, these Cubans who have made no contribution to the United States and only know how to **** blood can't wait to officially announce to the outside world that they Cubans will manage the United States."
"Fuck you! Cuban! As long as I'm alive, don't even think about invading this land I love so much! I will guard this country like these two dogs on my back guard the graves of my comrades-in-arms!" Jay When the husband said this, he put down the boy and tore off his T-shirt with both hands in excitement, revealing the bully dog tattoo on his back to everyone.
"This is what I want to say, everyone, I don't need you to donate to me, because you donate, I can't make any promises, I just want to find a place to show my determination and tell everyone that the Cubans have not Completely occupy the 18th District, I am still there, and the Americans are still there!"
"As long as I am still here, as long as the American spirit is still there, the Cubans will not even think about completing their evil aggression!"
"I will guard this land, and Americans who love this country will guard this rich land!"
"God Bless America, God Bless Florida, God Bless Miami, God Bless America!"
"Thank you for listening to my speech that I became rude because of anger, thank you." Jeff waved to all living beings, and then picked up the boy:
"Finally, I implore everyone, please pay attention to those two old people. After all, they need your support more. Don't let power appear in this free land, don't let this land where we live here for generations , there will be another tragedy of Cubans murdering Jews, God be with us."
After finishing speaking, Jeff turned around neatly and prepared to leave with his family. When he turned to leave, there was sudden warm applause behind him.
The reporter also stammered and introduced to the camera: "This candidate named Jeff LaVine, we can see that although he...is not as eloquent as other politicians we have seen, he has sincere feelings. At this moment, there are probably some More than 200 people were applauding spontaneously, because Lavin did what he said, he refused donations from people in this area, he didn't even distribute his personal information, and he didn't even have any obvious means of publicity. After the publication, he was ready to board the car leave."
The Jews in this area also thought that after this guy finished speaking, team members would come up to appeal for donations or distribute leaflets, etc., but unexpectedly, Jeff and his team members boarded the car and left.
This time, the Jews at the scene couldn't sit still. At this time, several old people shouted: "Mr. Lavin! Mr. Lavin! We were moved by your speech and shocked by your sincerity, but that boy, I think It's better for him to stay here, he's Jewish after all, and if the old man comes back, I think they'll come back here too..."
"Gina, take Stephen to pretend to be late. Remember to remind Stephen that idiot is wearing a Jewish hat. No matter what you say, I want you two to take the boy to Jeff's house as a Jewish couple." Tang Seeing that Jeff was about to leave, Mi saw that some Jews stopped Jeff and wanted to keep the boy, so he dialed the phone and said.
Stephen’s voice came from the phone: “Why did you take the boy to Jeff’s house?”
"In this way, the elderly can live in it in a legitimate way. In the next period of time, I want TV stations and newspapers to line up at the door and let Jeff LaVine appear in all the media that can appear. Play a good couple and don't mess it up." Tommy After hanging up the phone, he dialed Page's number and said to Martin next to him: "Let BT broadcast this news nationwide tonight, and all the nativist Florida newspapers will also show Jeff's news." Name, and remember to announce one thing to the public, Jeff will help the old man raise the cost of the lawsuit."
Martin nodded, and before he could speak, Tommy had dialed Page's number: "Jeff is leaving, Page, haven't those black people who helped Jeff install billboards in Little Havana been beaten yet? It’s just a street, so the news spread so slowly? It’s already started, very good.”
Martin's eyes widened at Tommy's words: "My **** **** were helping Jeff put up billboards in Little Havana when he berated the Cubans? Shit, am I the only one left in the Tuckers after today? Clan people? Speaking of which, I haven’t bought insurance for them yet…”
"So what? Or do you replace them?" Tommy asked Martin after hanging up the phone.
Martin shook his head resolutely: "No, it's better for everyone to perform their duties. If they are hospitalized, I will buy flowers to visit them."
Tommy looked at Martin and nodded with satisfaction: "The relationship between you black brothers is really touching."
"That's all there is to it? Play the news and announce that Jeff supports the elderly, right?" Martin repeated what Tommy had just explained.
Tommy looked at Gina who appeared in the distance pulling Stephen, and the Jews who were re-attracted: "No, Jeff's union is the Miami Urban Plumbing Workers' Association, and you still have to take time to accompany Jeff to his office." Trade unions, don't ask them to support Jeff, go to the top of the union, understand their needs, as long as they are willing to strike in solidarity with the Jews, they can talk about anything."
