It’s cool that you are you with the info you have in your head. Not everyone is you and no one deserves prison time for protecting their fellow humans.
I cannot be swayed in that view. I grew up surrounded by idiots and endured daily violence and more than one person I knew growing up is in prison for actual murder and more than one friend is currently in a grave because no one stepped up.
If you’d like, private message me and I’ll share article after article with you. I’m sure I can find them in archives at least.
I’m sorry for the hardship you’ve faced and the friends you have lost to jail or death.
I don’t mean to be rude but I’m over 65 and have friends and family members that have been both on the giving and receiving end of violence, as I have been myself.
I am not unaware that my experiences may be different than others, but I also have a right to expect that people should be using their brains more than their emotions when in tough or crisis situations … if for no other reason than emotions can change on a whim vs a well-thought-through action based on facts and knowledge.
