A few days passed, and the discussion about the mutant campus massacre not only did not cool down, but many people were arguing about it on TV and on the Internet every day.
Initially, the military led by Colonel William Stryker had the upper hand, and publicly listed many times the harm and potential harm that mutants brought to modern society. He used this incident as an example, and "forced to hold back the grief" to call on every parent to join his camp, trying to regard mutants as a genetic disease and advocating the theory of curing them.
However, not long after, an article about school violence and discrimination against mutants came out. It first cited a lot of evidence to prove that in the "Mutant School Massacre Incident", the students who died were all bullies of school violence. They bullied and insulted students with different skin colors. Anyone who disobeyed would be taken to the bathroom and severely beaten every day. The school knew all this but ignored it.
There was even a student who was also subjected to campus violence and took the initiative to publish his experience, saying that he lived in a nightmare every day...
"Once they took me to the bathroom, and suddenly they started to punch and kick me. I fell to the ground, curled up and didn't dare to resist. Each of them kicked me as hard as they could. Then someone grabbed my hair and smashed my head into the small (river crab) urinal. My lips were all covered in blood. I was so scared that I could only lie on the ground and hope that those people would leave quickly..."
"Oh my God, how dare they do this? Are the teachers and the principal just decorations?" the reporter said.
"That day, I was covered in dirty water, my mouth and clothes were all covered in blood, and I walked into the principal's office in a panic. I complained to the principal about their atrocities, but at the time, the principal said to me, 'These children will grow up sooner or later, and they will restrain themselves one day.' I stood in front of him, my whole body was covered in dirty water from the small (river crab) urinal, my lips were completely broken and covered in blood, and then the school let me go home."
She was very emotional: "When I got home, I took out a gun from my father's drawer and put it in my mouth, because at that moment, no one in the whole school was willing to lend a hand to me. Will the bullying problem in this school never be solved?"
"I'm sorry, I... I don't know how to answer you... I'm sorry." The reporter was silent.
"No need to apologize, you were not the one who assaulted me. The reason I stand up and say this is to tell everyone that those bastards do not deserve sympathy. If I had the ability, I would shove a gun into each of their mouths and blow their heads off! Pete did what the rest of us dared not do. I admire him very much, even though he is a mutant now. But in fact, I am not afraid of mutants, because the bad guys around me are much scarier than mutants!"
. . . . . . . . . . .
With the publication of this well-reasoned article, the issue of school violence was brought to the forefront in a short period of time. More and more persecuted people came forward to be interviewed by reporters. The victims' deeds before their death were all carefully revealed, and the usual image of the student who suddenly awakened as a mutant was slowly outlined.
Countless people began to sympathize with Pitt's students who suffered from school violence and bullying. Many people turned their guns on the victims' families, saying that their children did not deserve to be called human beings.
This time, no matter how much these people play their sympathy in public, no one will buy it, because no one wants their children to have to endure such a hellish school life one day, and even less does anyone want their children to become the abusers.
"We oppose school violence. All teachers and principals who turn a blind eye to it should be fired!"
"It's hard to imagine that there is such a dark side in this day and age. Shouldn't the president stand up and say something?"
"Don't put all the blame on the mutants. If something like this happens, even ordinary people would want to die with those bastards!"
"You're right. Mutants are not as scary as we imagined. Instead, it's those devils in human skin that are scary!"
"How about telling the truth? It's the mutants who are discriminated against and excluded because we are afraid of powers that we can't possess. To put it bluntly, it's jealousy!"
"I hate mutants, but I hate school bullies even more. Go to hell!"
. . . . . . . . .
Public opinion exploded instantly!
The discussion has shifted from one-sided discussion of the harm of mutants to society to the focus on campus violence and whether mutants can coexist harmoniously with ordinary people. A large number of celebrities have jumped out to show their presence and said all kinds of things. Even the president had to make a public statement, saying that he would never tolerate campus bullying and would send people to conduct an in-depth investigation and give an explanation to the public in the near future. However, he kept silent about such a sensitive group as mutants.
After the president spoke, the first to give in to the pressure was naturally Menf High School. The idiot principal who said to a student with blood on his mouth and feces and sewage all over his body, "These kids will grow up sooner or later, and they will restrain themselves one day," was the first to announce his resignation, followed by the teachers who usually turned a blind eye to bullying incidents.
Maybe they are just trying to protect themselves and are unable to stand up for those oppressed children for various reasons, but dereliction of duty is dereliction of duty. A teacher's duty is not just to teach knowledge step by step. On this basis, they should teach students how to be a "human being" instead of allowing students to be scumbags!
The direction of public opinion changed completely, and William Stryker, who planned all this, was so angry that he smashed everything around him.
He doesn't care about any bullshit school violence. What he wants the public to believe is that mutants may kill you in the next second!
The sudden intervention of SHIELD caught him off guard. He couldn't understand why SHIELD was involved in such a thing, but after careful investigation, the power behind him clearly told him that the mysterious force that suddenly intervened came from SHIELD.
Unlike William Stryker's anger, Professor X, who was far away at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, breathed a sigh of relief. He had not expected that things would turn out like this in the end, and the comments from those who did not hate mutants made him extremely happy. He felt that his persistence over the years was not in vain.
