Don't get involved

It remains to be seen how the young man who chocked the crazy guy in the subway will be treated but one lesson has been clearly learned by all. If you witness a public disruption call the police and get out of there. For sure do not intercede. It may be difficult to watch a woman or child get beaten but let the police deal with it. This is just one more example of how the society is deteriorating. Teachers are fearful of hugging little students, a man is fearful of asking the for a date for a second try and many people remain silent when they would like to speak out. We saw a good example of this last night when Trump was invited to a Town Hall on CNN. This morning most liberal people were upset that CNN allowed Trump a platform to speak. They want to shut him down. The founding fathers debated for six months before they came up with compromise we call the constitution. The foundation of democracy is free speech and that means listening to speech you do not agree with. You listen and then you get your chance and in time reasonable people can reach an agreement. If you think the others side is being dishonest then if you can see that others will see it unless you have some insight into human nature that others don't have. Some of the commentators today gave the impression that only they were smart enough to uncover lies and disinformation but the average voter has that ability. There are people who have made up their minds and regardless of what new information is presented they will not change but fortunately those are in the minority.
