About
“My friend has a two-faced history. You can choose which one to swim in endlessly. If you choose the side of precedents, you will find a thousand precedents recorded in police reports, cases brought before the prosecution and courts, appealed and re-appealed. As for what was not recorded in the reports, then speak of it without hesitation. If you choose the side of glory, you will find the unbelievable. There was a time when my friend owned this entire street. It was the most important street in the area, as countless businesses were concentrated there, and money and capital flowed into this street alone, enough to establish a great state. But those who owned it were thugs who cared only about profit!
"He who comes for nothing goes for nothing," says the popular proverb, as my friend says.
