Hollywood New Century - Chapter 424

The London riots that shocked the world were very influential, and they were basically a replica of the Los Angeles incident in 1992.

Racial antagonism, anti-racial groups, online media communication, gun ban laws, wealth gaps and economic downturns have been exposed again.

49 dead, thousands injured, thousands arrested, plus billions of pounds in economic damage!

In the lakeside villa of Lake Tahoe, a resort at the intersection of California and Nevada, Simon stretched his arms and said to Ivanka under him: “It’s time to go back!”

“Well, we’ve only been here for three days,” Ivanka gasped.

As the largest alpine lake in the United States, Lake Tahoe is more than 1,800 meters above sea level, and its water storage is second only to the Great Lakes. It is also the second deepest lake in the United States.

The turquoise and clear lake, surrounded by dozens of towns, is the first choice for many people in Northern California.

Skiing in winter, summer escape, and lakeside villas among the mountains and rocks are dotted among them. This is why the two of them came here from San Francisco for vacation.

“Don’t forget, with the current situation in London, I’m a little worried about whether there has been any impact on the West Ham United club!” Simon said casually with an excuse.

There was no turbulence on his face, but Simon still had some doubts in his heart. This time it seemed to be much more serious than the previous life? Shouldn’t it have something to do with the batch of guns that came out of the black market?

Perhaps, he just opened the devil seeds in some people’s hearts! However, this effect does not seem to be very big, and it would be good to have a few hundred deaths!

CNN, MSNBC, Foxnews continuously reported the news of the London riots; the major American newspapers and periodicals “Wall Street Journal”, “New York Times” and “Los Angeles Times”, “USA Today” and other detailed reports.

Interviews and speeches by celebrities from all walks of life in politics, business, entertainment and sports, condemning the rioters and speaking up for the casualties.

Nancy Davis found Simon the first time.

“What’s the matter, scared?” In the office of Universal City Hollywood, Simon poured a glass of red wine for the Wall Street devil himself.

Nancy Davis shook her head and said: “We were staying in the Financial City at that time, which belonged to luxury high-rise residences. There were indeed demonstrators nearby, but the security force was very strong;”

“There was minor damage to two Hilton hotel lobbies and more serious damage to three stores, after all there are more than 600 fires across London.”

Simon shook his head and sighed: “I didn’t expect this to happen, God bless!” With a look of sadness, even Simon himself believed that he was sad for the dead.

Just press the remote control, and the current affairs news is still reporting the follow-up in London. Tottenham Street, as the main location, is also the place with the most serious losses.

“The negative impact of this riot on British society is very deep, the rich and poor of the rich, the blue-collar middle class and the disadvantaged, the problem of immigration integration, not only the United Kingdom, but the whole of Europe and the United States has similar problems,” Nancy Davey Si said with a frown,

“The root cause is racial antagonism, the failure of immigrants to integrate into mainstream society.”

Simon patted Nancy Davis on the shoulder and said casually: “The British, as you know, always like to show their so-called noble elegance and superiority;”

“Actually, there’s apathy, cunning and old-fashioned stuff everywhere.”

“Pfft,” Nancy Davis laughed when she heard Simon’s American rant.

“Simon, you were only 25 years old when you first met me, and you seemed to say the same thing back then, calling them opium dealers and pirate bosses.”

Simon also smiled, took a sip of wine and said: “London, which calls itself the capital of gentlemen, is like this. It is estimated that France, which likes strikes and parades the most, will be indispensable;”

“However, there may also be some situations on the U.S. side. Now the attitude of the high unemployment rate to Wall Street is not very good.”

“Don’t worry,” Nancy Davis said casually, waving her hand casually without seeming to be worried at all.

“The political and economic impact of the London riots is still too small to cause much difficulty for the British government.”

“As for the US, shootings are more commonplace than in a place like Wall Street!”

Simon nodded, still reminding Nancy Davis: “There may be a parade or something, so be careful.”

This year’s invasion of Wall Street is estimated to be inevitable at that time, only one fuse is missing.

London, Wembley Stadium, Community Shield before the start of the Premier League, last season’s Premier League champions Manchester United against FA Cup champions West Ham.

Manchester United, who won the Premier League title last season, won a total of 19 English top-flight trophies, the most of any English football club.

Manchester United and West Ham also deliberately observed a moment of silence for the casualties of the London riots before the game.

Football is deeply ingrained in English culture and is the cure for pain. West Ham and Manchester United also contributed a fantastic attacking football.

In the end, West Ham United won Manchester United 4:3 and won the first championship trophy of the new season.

At a press conference after the game, West Ham United president Karen Brady also announced that the club would donate £500,000 to help rebuild and improve public order in Newham, east London.

The main location for the riots is in the northern area of ​​Tottenham, which is good, but of course there are also fires and shop looting in east and south London.

West Ham United club is located in the Newham district of East London. Fortunately, Upton Park has no impact. At least unlike Tottenham’s home stadium, the ticket sales points of the White Hart Lane Stadium were ignited by a fire.

West Ham entered the Champions League for the first time and won the Community Shield, as well as the league runner-up last season, which is new history.

Simon, who is far away in the United States, may not feel very deep, but the diehard fans of West Ham United in London were pleasantly surprised.

At a private fitness club in Beverly Hills, Simon is sweating on a sandbag with the help of a personal trainer.

“Well, straight left, uppercut right;”

“Kick;”

“Phew, very good, today’s exercise is enough,” the coach handed Simon a towel to wipe his sweat.

The panting Simon took a sip of the sports drink next to him, unbuttoned his boxing gloves, and smiled: “A third of the world’s obese people in the United States, except for food, think that they are lack of exercise.”

The coach smiled and said: “It’s mainly fried foods and desserts. Americans are almost inseparable from these high-calorie foods, as well as carbonated drinks.”

Simon nodded, carbonated drinks, American butter, fried chicken and other foods that Americans love to see, Simon has no interest at all.

“Bye, see you next time!”
