In the afternoon of Jan 7th, the general manager of Hubei Tianmen water conservancy construction company, Wei Wenhua, and the secretary Wang Shutang drove passing near the Tianmen Bay Village. Discovering Wei Wenhua was using a mobile phone taking the brutal law enforcement of the urban management, the workers of the urban management began to beat Wei Wenhua. Five minutes later, Wei Wenhua was beaten to death.In China, there are many cases of urban management officials beating abound, there are also many cases of urban management officials have killed people. But killing a manager who is responsible for the WCB is very rare. Nowadays, the urban management violence is spreading regardless of time and place. As long as they think the people is trying to be against to their law enforcements, the urban management official would beat them, without considering their social status and backgrounds, usually, the people were beaten to death. From this point, I can’t see any difference between them and the Maffia. Just as an angry netizens said, “they urban management officials are the same as the rogues.”
There is another fact worthy of our attention- it is not only the urban management officials who enforce brutally, but they did commit the highest frequency and are most exposed by the media- from which one can see that the overall quality of urban management staff is bad. Thus, it is not hard to understand why in some places people hate the urban management staff so much.
The high frequency of urban management violence challenges the citizens’ patience limit. People against urban management experience violence frequently, and some of them even lost their lives. It is a tragedy. It is not only the tragedy of normal people, but also the sorrow of the whole society and social system.
From the reality of violent urban management at least we can ask three questions: How dare the urban management staff beat people? How dare they kill people? Why the incident occurred so frequently?
No matter from the point of law or human rights protection, or from the idea of building a harmonious society, from any point of view, there is no reason for urban management staff to do such things. It is not deniable that the quality of the urban management staff is not good enough, but to think deeply, there are also other reasons such as the connivance of the person who is responsible for, the inadequate supervision, and so on. All of these are worthy considered by all of us.
