Have you ever heard of such a thing?A motorcycle, driving on a road in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, was suddenly knocked down by the door of a chengguan car, and two people on the motorcycle fell on a Bentley parked on the side of the road. The people in the chengguan car not only did not get out of the car to save people, but also shouted "hit-and-run" and demanded compensation from the motorcycle for the damage of the Bentley
After the traffic police arrived at the scene, they determined that the motorcycle party was mainly responsible and demanded that it compensate for the loss of the chengguan car and the Bentley car, and also bear criminal responsibility.
Isn't that ridiculous?Isn't that too unfair?Isn't that too inhumane?Do you think this is something that happens in a dark society, not in our country under the rule of law?Do you think this is something that makes people angry and sad, rather than something that can be understated?
If you feel this way, then congratulations, you are still a person with a conscience and a sense of justice. However, you also have to be careful, because this incident did not happen at all, it is an Internet rumor, which was deliberately fabricated by some people with ulterior motives in order to incite social emotions, create social instability, and interfere with social order.
So, how did this rumor come about?What are the loopholes in this rumor?What harm does this rumor bring us?Let's debunk the truth of this rumor.
Rumors**
The ** of this rumor is actually a real traffic accident. According to the official report of the Shenzhen traffic police, at about 5 p.m. on April 15, 2023, near the intersection of Taoyuan Road and Taoyuan East Road, Taoyuan Street, Nanshan District, a motorcycle collided with a chengguan vehicle, resulting in injuries to the driver and passengers of the motorcycle, one of whom died after rescue.
After on-site investigation by the traffic police department, monitoring **, questioning witnesses, etc., it was preliminarily determined that the cause of the accident was that the motorcycle driver violated the traffic light regulations, ran a red light, and collided with a normal urban management vehicle, and took full responsibility for the accident.
After the accident, the personnel in the chengguan car immediately got out of the car for help, and dialed 120 and 110, but there was no escape or refusal to help. There was no Bentley at the scene of the accident, and there was no situation where the chengguan shouted "hit-and-run".
So, how did this accident turn into a rumor?According to the investigation of Shenzhen**, this rumor was deliberately fabricated by a Weibo user with the screen name "Shenzhen Traffic Police", who posted a Weibo on the evening of April 16, the content of which was "online rumors that the motorcycle fell on the Bentley due to the chengguan car" open the door and killed", and the chengguan shouted "hit-and-run", and the traffic police determined that the motorcycle party was responsible
Shenzhen Traffic Police: It's a rumor", and accompanied by a ** of the accident scene. The purpose of this user is to attract attention and increase their followers and influence.
However, what the user didn't expect was that his Weibo was mistakenly thought to be published by the official account of the Shenzhen traffic police by some netizens who did not know the truth, so they commented one after another, abusing and slandering the Shenzhen traffic police and urban management, causing an extremely bad social impact.
After discovering this rumor, Shenzhen ** immediately refuted the rumor and investigated, and finally locked up the Weibo user and punished him in accordance with the law.
Loopholes in rumors.
Although this rumor seems to be true, it actually has many loopholes, and with a little analysis, you can find its irrationality. Here are some ways to help us identify rumors:
Check the information **. When we see some network information, we should pay attention to check whether it is reliable and whether there is official or authoritative confirmation. For example, the ** of this rumor is a Weibo user with the screen name "Shenzhen Traffic Police", not the official Weibo account of the Shenzhen Traffic Police, which should arouse our suspicions.
Moreover, the Weibo user's account was registered on April 16, 2023, the day after the accident, which also shows the suspiciousness of this account.
If we look closely, we can also find that the avatar and profile of this account are imitations of the official Weibo account of the Shenzhen traffic police, which shows the malicious nature of this account.
Check the content of the information. When we see some network information, we should pay attention to check whether its content is reasonable and whether it is supported by logic and facts. For example, there are many irrationalities in the content of this rumor, such as:
If the chengguan car is really "open the door to kill", then why did the motorcycle hit the Bentley instead of the chengguan car?This is obviously not in accordance with the laws of physics.
If the chengguan car is really "open the door to kill", then why is there no other eyewitness or monitoring ** to confirm it?This is clearly counterintuitive.
If the chengguan car is really "open the door to kill", then why do the people in the chengguan car still shout "hit-and-run" instead of running away?This is clearly inhuman.
If the chengguan car is really "open the door to kill", then why would the traffic police determine that the motorcycle party is mainly responsible, not the chengguan car party?This is clearly not in accordance with the law.
If this really happened, then why didn't any other ** or official body report or respond?This is clearly not in line with reality.
All of the above doubts can make us doubt the authenticity of this information, so as to avoid being blinded by rumors.
Pulled the wool over your eyes. Next, let's see what harm this rumor has caused us.
The dangers of rumors.
Although this rumor is a false message, it has caused us real harm. Here are some of the dangers of rumors::
It hurts the feelings of the victims of the accident and their families. This rumor not only distorts the facts, but also slanders and insults the victims of the accident and their families, leaving them to bear the misunderstanding and accusations from society after suffering greatly, which is a serious violation of their personality and dignity, and a great disrespect for their lives and rights.
It has hurt the image and credibility of the urban management and traffic police. This rumor not only fabricated the illegal behavior of the chengguan and the traffic police, but also maliciously attacked and smeared them, so that they had to face doubts and abuse from the society after fulfilling their duties, which is a serious slander against their work and profession, and also a great negation of their efforts and contributions.
It hurts the harmony and stability of society. This rumor not only created social antagonism and antagonism, but also caused social anger and dissatisfaction, so that some netizens who did not know the truth had fierce arguments and insults on the Internet, and even some people had to use violent and illegal means to express their emotions, which was a serious damage to social order and the rule of law, and also a great threat to social security and development.
hurts our thinking and judgment. This rumor not only misleads our cognition and perspective, but also lowers our rationality and criticism, so that when we see some online information, we no longer distinguish between true and false, good or bad, but blindly believe and follow the trend, and even spread and create more rumors, which is a serious challenge to our wisdom and literacy, and also a great obstacle to our growth and progress.
