[QUOTE="ricco, post: 3719494, member: 46005"] Not callous or self centered, just practical for the world we live in today, it's not 1822 it's 2022. In case you haven't noticed the world has changed. People who try to save the world from itself are naive or just aren't paying attention. Let's take a look at what has happened to a few people who tried to save the world and it went sideways, as happens more often than not in the real world. George Zimmerman, charged with murder, lost his family, lost his job, can't find work (last I heard) and was almost 2 million dollars in debt. Greg and Travis McMichael, charged with murder, found guilty, life without the possibility of parole. Roddie Bryan, charged with murder, life with the possility of parole. Kyle Rittenhouse, charged with murder, 18 years old and is now a social pariah, his classmates don't even want him on campus. If this wasn't such a hot button trial he probably wouldn't have received the money necessary to hire the outstanding legal team that was able to keep him out of prison. If you think this just me and my callous way of thinking, try again. Not long ago Greg Ellifritz, a retired police officer, warned about the dangers of getting involved in othere people's fights. The phrase "not my monkeys, not my circus" hasn't become so popular in self defense circles because the world looks kindly on sheepdogs. Ask Kim Potter what happens when you make a mistake. So basically here's the deal, eveyone that has two brain cells that even occasionally bump into each other knows there are bad people in the world wanting to do bad things. So it is a conscious choice, each of us can accept the possibility of being attacked and prepare for that possibility or we can occupy our time with other things and hope for the naive white knight to ride to the rescue. If you want to be that white knight that is your choice, hopefully you won't regret that choice from a prison cell as so many others are doing at this very moment. It all comes down to this, it is each persons conscious deliberate choice whether or not they become a bad guys chew toy. [/QUOTE]
