At around 3 a.m. in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, on June 19, a chengguan law enforcement team came to the street, ready to pull away dozens of tons of watermelons that a vendor had placed on the side of the road. As early as before, many residents have repeatedly reported to the street office that this vendor has been occupying the road for a long time and has piled up a large number of watermelons, which has seriously affected traffic travel. Seeing that the vendors were reluctant to consciously rectify, the urban management department finally decided to use coercive means.
When the chengguan personnel wanted to pull away the watermelon, they were violently resisted by the vendors. The vendors denounced the overbearing law enforcement of the chengguan, believing that their hard-earned melon selling places should not be taken away. In the end, the vendor collapsed, and he threw the watermelons in his hand with both hands, smashing the heavy melons to pieces. The dark green shell of the watermelon formed an afterimage in the air, and the moment it fell to the ground, the bright red flesh splashed and the juice was fragrant. In a short time, the whole street was filled with ruins, and the sight of the remains of the Colosseum.
In the face of the violent acts of the vendors, the chengguan team failed to pull away all the melons and fruits that occupied the road, and could only close the team first. It wasn't until noon the next day that the melon residue scattered all over the street was completely cleaned up by the sanitation workers, and the road finally returned to its former smooth appearance.
Most of the netizens who watched this incident held different views. Some people think that it is a big mistake for the traders to be radical and destroy their own goods. However, some people feel that the chengguan has not been fully considered when enforcing the law, and the method is too simple and crude. So how to judge the rights and wrongs of things until the end? Many netizens believe that judging from the behavior of the vendors, their behaviors such as occupying the road and setting up stalls, being fearless, being tough and arrogant, and destroying public property have already violated a number of laws and regulations, and it is difficult to gain public sympathy.
But others have also pointed out that there are indeed some misconduct on the part of law enforcement officers in their work. For example, taking law enforcement actions at an unreasonable time without prior notice, arrangement, and other preparations. At 3 o'clock in the night, a group of people suddenly came to pull away the seller's goods, and anyone would inevitably feel caught off guard and angry.
In addition, the Sub-district Office and relevant law enforcement departments should communicate and guide more with vendors when enforcing the law in advance, rather than adopting overly simple coercive measures to avoid fierce conflicts. More importantly, while enforcing the law, we should also give full consideration to the vital interests and livelihood outlets of vendors, and give a certain amount of time and space to other channels, rather than directly cleaning them up.
So how to resolve the conflict between the chengguan and the vendors, so that both sides can strike a balance between law enforcement and livelihood? Many people have suggested that the relevant government departments can increase the intensity of market supervision and regulation, and allocate some temporary or fixed centralized street vendor areas to prevent some vendors from occupying the road for a long time. At the same time, establish a corresponding complaint acceptance, communication and coordination mechanism to resolve conflicts in a timely manner and avoid fierce conflicts.
Vendors should also enhance their awareness of law-abiding operations, understand that street vendors have certain risks of violating the law, and should not be greedy for the sake of temporary convenience and ignore public order. At the same time, vendors should actively transform and embark on more legal and compliant business channels such as online live streaming and online shopping malls to avoid falling into legal risks and conflicts.
