Reply #100: Been there too, it has to do with knowing we are flesh, we hurt, we feel, we know, we act.

Not sure what's going on with those who lost that connection. I've had situations where I've been in shock when attacked. No sense of shock seeing another attacked, pure instinct to protect rises up and not acting is not an option. I'm still amazed this guy hasn't been charged as an accomplice.

Imagine what it's been like for that kid knowing that this guy saw it and by not acting, gave approval to what was being done to him. Ten years, treated like a piece of meat, so how did he grow up? And if he was still in that community, did he end up in prison from losing respect for authority?

And then to have to look at these people being exalted in every household? This is why people have no respect for law or each other, the cruel hypocrisy of powerful, micromanaging other people's lives in their political tirades, knowing this is going on.
