I. Event review
Henan vegetable farmers turned to the media for help. Can't stand it? Stealing vegetable balls? I hope to get help from relevant departments. After some investigation, it is known that there are others besides the square dance troupe. Stealing vegetable balls? These retired people organized a gang to steal vegetables from vegetable fields near the suburbs, not only stealing vegetables, but also destroying vegetables that could not be taken away. Many attempts to stop them have not been properly resolved. At present, the loss of vegetable farmers has reached as high as 5000 yuan.
Second, respecting the elderly does not mean that there is no bottom line.
The average age of these elderly people stealing vegetables is over 60. They often stole vegetables from vegetable fields in twos and threes, and later spread to more than a dozen people. Besides, they don't think it's wrong to steal food. At first, they used the excuse that they didn't know the owner of the vegetable field, but later they couldn't control it. When they meet farmers with tough attitudes, they even lean on the elderly and pretend to be sick on the ground. Fearing death, the vegetable farmers let them go. However, these old people are getting worse and worse, and they will not be able to take them away.
Many netizens believe that the premise of respecting the elderly is that the elderly have served the society, rather than destroying social harmony without a bottom line. Such an old man who knows the law and breaks the law should be punished according to law. After receiving feedback from the reporter, the local police station also sent personnel to inspect the surrounding vegetable gardens, but the effect did not seem to be satisfactory.
Third, the suggestions of netizens.
The loss of vegetable farmers is a fact, and they should not be allowed to run amok just because they are old people. Many netizens suggested that when encountering similar cases, they should promptly inform the guardians and children of the elderly to investigate their responsibilities and bear the economic losses, so that the elderly can realize that their mistakes will bring serious consequences.
At the same time, this immoral behavior should also be included in the credit system, linked to its social welfare treatment and pension payment. Only by touching their immediate interests can they realize the losses caused to vegetable farmers and give a warning to others in society. Age and social background can't be an excuse to avoid legal responsibility.
