well stated. I'll concede those points.

You are right, it's too close to me. I've been jumped and kept my cool, but it was unbelievably HARD to do. The adrenalin pump was downright scary. I hardly recognized myself as I was fending off suckerpunches and talking calmly. Later, when the cops dropped me off a safe distance, my heart was still pounding, and I realized how close I'd come to throwing my adult life away.

People, it happens quickly, and you shouldn't criticize too easily unless you've lived it.

But if you knew that you could get away with it, if society didn't punish people like Junta, perhaps you would have killed the other person.

Then you would be as free as you are, but walking around knowing that you had taken a human life, instead of feeling sorry for Junta. Do you really think that situation would be preferable?
