Sure, the video could be a trap
But when there are no laws, and i dont think there are anymore, the men with guns choose which society we live in.
So to anyone in the national guard: would you rather see a world where civilians get shot, or a world where officers who give orders to shoot civilians get shot? I know which saves more lives long term.
Remember that institutions are not a requirement for conscience.
You're not that special-if you're feeling it, a lot if other people probably are too
You're going to choose whether you live in a world where men with guns shoot civilians, or shoot (higher) officers who order them to shoot civilians. Sorry you gotta make that choice.
What lead you here? Who are you? Who do you want to be? How can you best be loyal to that?
When this is all over, you're going to have to live with what you've done. Or not. Im telling you; the best therapists are or know people in those crowds.
Whose side are you on?
