The other thing is, as I understand it, it was one person who called the police. I don't know if that is a reflection of the philosophy of the whole community or not. Even if she acted on her own in violation of that, once the police were called, they were involved.
But you do understand the moral depravity of the situation: "WE won't fight [and possibly die] to defend the lives of our loved ones, but we're more than happy to call in the police and let THEM fight [and possibly die] to defend the lives of our loved ones..."
If one chooses not to defend oneself, that's one thing but for the life of me I could not see standing by and watching it happen. (Now, I don't want to sound like I'm condemning those women and boys who left. What could a pregnant woman and others with small babies who have been brought up all their lives not to retaliate in any way, shape, or form, do?)
Anyway, I certainly see your point. I don't get it either.
