Wow... I mean, I knew that people can be affected by events, but I never would have expected something like this. For myself, I cannot imagine how anyone could watch a young child being mercilessly slaughtered like that and not involve themselves in the boy's defense. True, fear is paralyzing, but I would hope that most people would at least respond on a moral basis. I can understand the fear of being injured, but what's worse: the child getting murdered, or one or two people with a hairline fractures and new scabs?
I don't know, I just find myself perplexed by this.
I kind of agree with the opinion on the lack of moral structure and the like. While fear can affect us all, allowing it to absolutely paralyze you shows, in my own humble opinion, a gross lack of moral fiber and idea of integrity.
