“If you saw some kid getting attacked in the parking lot of a Walmart would your response depend on whether or not you thought there might be some corrupt people living in that town?”
The fact you think this is an equivocal metaphor for yet another ethnic feud between Slavs is simply ludicrous.
So would you consider if there were corrupt people in the town or not before you tried to help the kid? Or are you just the kind of person that would rather not get involved?
