Why should throwing objects from high altitudes become the public enemy?

Legalistically speaking, throwing objects from high altitudes is no longer as simple as an uncivilized bad habit or bad habit, but an act endangering public safety that treats the life and health rights of an unspecified majority of people as trivial. The social harm of this behavior is even greater than dangerous behaviors such as drunk driving and car chases.

On the afternoon of March 9, a three-month-old baby girl Tongtong (pseudonym) was injured by a falling apple in Guanlan Country Garden Community, Tangxia Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. Shenzhen Children's Hospital initially diagnosed him with severe craniocerebral injury and traumatic shock. Currently, Tongtong is still in a coma and is not out of danger. It is reported that through DNA comparison, the police determined that the person who threw the apple was a girl on the 24th floor of the community.

An apple falling from the sky caused great trauma to an innocent baby, and his family also suffered pain and suffering. But what is even more difficult for the public to accept is that there are too many incidents similar to throwing objects from high altitudes, and they have led to many tragedies. It can be said that due to the randomness and arbitrariness of the incident, the difficulty of identifying the murderer, and the serious damage to the human body caused by the thrown objects, this "pain hanging over the city" has become a social hazard that threatens an unspecified majority of people. In this regard, the behavior of throwing objects from high altitudes should be regarded as the "enemy of the whole people" and a social nuisance, and a large net should be woven to prevent and combat the throwing of objects from high altitudes.

As we all know, objects thrown from high altitudes are very random and difficult to catch, and even criminal investigation techniques are useless. As a result, some incidents of high-altitude objects thrown cannot be traced to the initiator, and they become unsolved cases. In this case, the victim may consider himself unlucky and bear the tragic consequences of this sudden disaster alone, or in accordance with the Tort Liability Law, "Throwing objects from a building or falling objects from a building causes damage to others. It is difficult to determine the specific If an infringer is an infringer, unless he can prove that he is not an infringer, compensation shall be provided by the user of the building who may have caused the infringement." The owner or property owner of the entire building shall bear the corresponding liability.

Although the above-mentioned last resort can make up for the victim's damage to a certain extent, it also causes innocent people to suffer losses. At the same time, the neighborly relationship between the compensator and the victim is deteriorated, making it difficult to implement in judicial practice and unable to comfort the victim in a timely manner.

In fact, from a legal point of view, throwing objects from high altitude is no longer as simple as an uncivilized bad habit or bad habit, but an act endangering public safety that treats the life and health rights of an unspecified majority of people as trivial. The social harm of this behavior is even greater than dangerous behaviors such as drunk driving and car chases.

To curb high-altitude throwing objects, in addition to improving citizens’ moral quality and awareness of civilization, it is necessary to improve technical measures to prevent and control them. For example, protective nets can be installed at appropriate locations, and high-definition night vision monitoring facilities specifically designed to monitor high-altitude parabola behavior can be installed, so that potential high-altitude parabola users will be wary.

In addition, it is necessary to pursue and punish high-altitude throwing objects with a zero-tolerance attitude. As mentioned before, throwing objects from high altitudes is an act that endangers public safety. Any behavior that throws objects from high altitudes, even if it does not cause any consequences, should be held accountable for its corresponding legal liability for endangering public safety. For high-altitude throwing objects that cause personal injury, every effort should be made to identify the culprit and make him bear criminal liability and civil liability for compensation.

In general, high-altitude parabolic objects should be regarded as "the public enemy of the whole people" and punished according to the principle of "not condoning small evils", so that the phenomenon of high-altitude parabolic objects that harm innocent people can be effectively curbed.
