"what's wrong with me driving against traffic? what's wrong with me hitting you?" "call the police." i've seen arrogant people before, but i've never seen such an arrogant person.

on august 28, a traffic accident occurred in the laoshan scenic area in qingdao. a woman driving a white land rover suv failed to cut in line and rear-ended a bus in front of her. after getting off the bus, the woman took out her anger on the driver who was driving normally in the opposite direction. she not only insulted him but also slapped him more than a dozen times. the driver was bleeding from the mouth and nose, but he did not fight back.

on the 29th, the police issued a notice that the woman involved was detained for 10 days and fined 1,000 yuan. however, netizens were not satisfied with the punishment and left comments: "only 10 days of detention, is the punishment for beating someone so light?" "no revocation of the driver's license? if she is allowed to drive, she will be a disaster"

obviously, netizens are "very upset" about the announcement. this is understandable. if you and i were the ones being beaten for no reason, our emotions would probably be even more intense.

emotions cannot replace the law. but netizens' "grievances" also need to be taken seriously and responded to.

the majesty and warmth of the law have always been reflected through specific cases. every widely watched case actually contains the expectations of the public, which not only contains the simple belief of "punishing evil and promoting good", but also the public's expectation that the law can become a "stabilizer" or even a "booster" for the continuous progress of society and a better life.

some foreign legal provisions can inspire us. for example, if two women quarrel, as long as it is not serious, the police will usually come to persuade them to stop, and criticize and educate them. however, in some countries, no matter how reasonable they are, the one who fights will be considered "using violence" and commit "violence". if blood is shed, there will be an additional "injury" and they will be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment. there are many similar legal provisions that are worth learning from.

the yearning for a better society and a better life is the common wish of all people. the constant hostility and conflicts in society have repeatedly hurt this vision. therefore, the "unsatisfied" of netizens should be taken seriously and responded to, and there should be new laws and new measures at more levels to soothe these "unsatisfied" feelings.
