And had you prevented me from attempting to save my son, no matter how long the odds, I would hunt you down afterwards. That is not your decision to make. And if I were on the jury if the father kills the idiot that tazed him, I would acquit the father on day one or hang the jury.
My Mother was in a similar situation. On her way to work one morning she was going by my cousin ‘s house and saw smoke. She stopped and found my cousin, who was in a wheel chair with TWO of her children. My cousin begged my Mother to go into the house to get her young son. My Mother was afraid and couldn’t do it. The firemen found his young body next to a window, the window right next to the garage. My Mother had a complete breakdown and suffered for many years before eventually taking her own life.
“That is not your decision to make.”
Yeah, it is my decision to make to try to keep someone from running into a burning building. It’s my job and my duty to try just as much as you believe it is your duty to try to save your son.
Do you not understand this? I can no more let you go and die than you can go and let your son die. I understand it’s hard, but I have a duty to you and your life.
If I let you in and you die I would be negligent for failing to do my job. And they would be right because I let you go into a burning building and I would be responsible for your death because I did not stop you.
To thank him for saving the other child's father?
