威斯康星州基诺沙城( Kenosha)一陪审团于昨天宣布,2020年在一骚乱现场导2人死亡、1人受伤的少年里滕豪斯(Kyle Rittenhouse)无罪总统拜登表示必须尊重陪审团的判决;前总统、川普表示,陪审团的裁决是公正的,他说:如果这(里滕豪斯当时的行为)不是自卫,什么是自卫?

 

这个判决,是件大事 ,是天大的事。将被载入美国史册。

 

美国宪法第二修正案:

 

“A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

纪律优良的民兵部队对自由州的安全是必要的,因此,人民持有并携带武器的权利不可受侵害。

 

时年17岁的里滕豪斯是民兵,合规携枪,为商家守护,被迫开枪。捍卫了个人的生命权力。

 

 

这个枪声,也堪比列克星敦独立战争第一枪。

 

如果政府不作为,人民有权自卫,直至解散不作为的政府。

 

美国独立宣言:

 

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的:人人生而平等,造物者赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利,其中包括生命权、自由权和追求幸福的权利。

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

为了保障这些权利,人类才在他们之间建立政府,而政府之正当权力,是经被治理者的同意而产生的。

That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

当任何形式的政府对这些目标具破坏作用时,人民便有权力改变或废除它,以建立一个新的政府;其赖以奠基的原则,其组织权力的方式,务使人民认为唯有这样才最可能获得他们的安全和幸福。为了慎重起见,成立多年的政府,是不应当由于轻微和短暂的原因而予以变更的。过去的一切经验也都说明,任何苦难,只要是尚能忍受,人类都宁愿容忍,而无意为了本身的权益便废除他们久已习惯了的政府。但是,当追逐同一目标的一连串滥用职权和强取豪夺发生,证明政府企图把人民置于专制统治之下时,那么人民就有权利,也有义务推翻这个政府,并为他们未来的安全建立新的保障--

 

 

里滕豪斯案的判决,是美国宪法、美国立国文本、美国精神的诠释和体现。

 

做美国人,学习美国历史,守护美国传统。
