Chapter 64: Illegal patriotic organization
At this time, a team of carriages had arrived in New Orleans, and there was congestion in front of them. At a glance, there was a crowd of people, as if it was an important festival today, everyone appeared on the street. Sheffield didn't want to interfere with other people's activities, but wanted to switch to another route to continue, but it didn't work at all, as did other streets.
"Is it Christmas today? Or are they all crazy?" Sheffield curled her eyebrows and was stuck in the middle of it, unable to excite himself, pointing to someone in front of him to ask.
Countless white people occupied the street, they cheered loudly, and bursts of cheers led everyone's emotions. Everyone is in it. Everyone is a participant and doesn't care what other people think. But if you look closely, you will find that there are no black people on the whole street, and none of them. It is important to know that New Orleans has a large black population.
There are still many people riding horses and wearing a cowboy outfit, it seems to enjoy this atmosphere.
"We are a country ruled by law, don't we have a police officer? Go and see what the **** is going on." Sheffield held her forehead and asked the bodyguards around him to let them see what was going on. How busy he was every day, finally came out and encountered the encirclement, these farts just did not care about the feelings of the master.
Outside the Louisiana court, there is a crowd of people. The people gathered are waiting for the news of the final sentence. It seems to be overshadowed by the emotions outside. The judges in the court also read the words one by one with a solemn tone. Regarding the accused, deliberately provoking the bottom line of the law and rushing into a public train that only white people can ride on has caused shock to the passengers on the train. This defiance of the holy law is challenging the rights of citizens.
"Louisiana guarantees that white people and other ethnic groups are orderly and equal, without interference and isolation from each other. In May, Thompson broke through the block and entered the white car. According to the state law's description of related crimes, Thompson will face twelve months. During the week, no judges disputed this and imposed a fine of one hundred dollars. "
"If we don't punish the criminal for entering the white car without authorization, and indifferent to the safety of the passengers in the car at that time, they will break into our house next time and point our guns at our women and children."
Standing on the steps in front of the court, a middle-aged man shouted with exhaustion, "There can be no next time, this kind of thing only needs to happen once, no matter who it is, we must let them pay the price, long live the alliance!"
"Long live the Confederate States of America!" Thousands of people shouted in unison, and huge waves passed through the thick walls into the solemn court, letting the people inside change their faces.
Such a big wave came directly far, even Sheffield, far away from the state court, suddenly changed color. Although it was very vague, he did hear the long live slogan of the United States of America, quickly pushed the car door down, and climbed up. The carriage looked up, his eyes widened, and said to himself, "Southern Cross?"
"A few of you go and see, and ask these people what way?" Sheffield yelled at the black gold bodyguards around.
"I'm going by now, and today seems to be the day when the black man was sentenced." John Connor did not forget to explain, "New Orleans is not quite flat."
"What's up with me? That's all court matters! Now I'm going to the port with my partners." Sheffield frowned and scoffed. "How much money is involved, these **** are always at the critical moment. Add chaos to me. "
After speaking, Sheffield re-drilled into the carriage, and John Connor took a group of people into the crowd and pushed all the people who were in the way. Just a few hundred meters away, these strong and strong black-gold employees walked with extra difficulty, and the level of hardship was even more difficult than going to sea.
John Conner simply wanted to say that I was too difficult, but still came out gasping, still in front of the man who was screaming, even at such a short distance, his eardrums buzzing all around shouted. .
At this time, the door of the court was pushed open, and the criminals were pushed out by a group of police. Seeing this scene, the people who surrounded the place were even mad, even the black youth surrounded by a group of policemen. The throat wriggled slightly, and there was a pale color on his face that was impossible for a lifetime.
"Kill him ..." The man waving the Southern Cross flag yelled. John Connor was anxious and shouted directly, "Take a gun and let these people calm down!"
Bang Bang Bang! A gunshot shocked the people who were in a state of madness. The first second was full of human voice, and the second second was silent. Taking advantage of this opportunity to shoot, John Connor rushed up in two steps and carried the gun in his hand. Question the leading man, "Who are you? Why are you besieging state courts?"
"I'm KKK, who is protecting the interests of all of us, who are you? Even standing with the people who hurt us." Conley was also stunned by the sudden scene, but quickly questioned angrily, if not The people who came with John Conner pulled out their pistols, and he must give these people a good look.
"It's the 3K party! You two go back and tell the young master!" John Connor pointed to the two black gold employees and then put away the pistol. "I am a Sheffield Black Gold shipping employee. No matter what happens, I shouldn't Inciting citizens to block the door of the state court. "
"Is it the 3K party? The federal government has declared that they are illegal. If you don't hide, you will find out that you have added chaos?" Sheffield rolled her eyes and shattered her thoughts. Tell the crowd in front to let go, let's go and see what's going on? "
"Why aren't there police officers maintaining order? If they are in Paris, the military police should be dispatched now. What else is the 3K party? Isn't the United States only the Democratic Party and the Republican Party?" Annie asked in surprise, whispering in surprise.
"Police officers, they will come out when it's okay. I guess it must have been collecting money today." Sheffield laughed and mocked, "The United States is just a multi-party system on the surface, actually a two-party system. As for these people , Is a non-governmental organization, and you do n’t need to know if you are not a citizen of the United States. Can you understand them as a group of patriots! Representing the public opinion of southern citizens, but always doing stupid things. ”
It is indeed a group of patriots. As for whether you love the United States or the Confederate States, that is not necessarily the case.
Surrounded by a long crowd, the pedestrian carriage only reached the point of confrontation. Sheffield walked down the carriage, and of course, a group of black-gold employees formed a human wall and wrapped it into dumplings. Sheffield, who has long been accustomed to this, reached out to the man who was still unsure about the situation, "Hello William Sheffield!"
"Sheffield? Are you the family of the regiment leader?" Conley quickly introduced himself as soon as he heard, "My father is a veteran of the Marine Corps under Brigadier General Ward."
"If you are referring to the commander of the Texas Army, he is my grandfather!" Sheffield heard this, and admitted directly, but the words changed, "But the 3K party is an illegal organization, you act like this not good."
