Be That Man.

Here is the problem you can solve: Good men eventually learn that if they charge the enemy, they will be shot in the back by their own teammates trying to curry favor with the enemy.

Derrick Chauvin and Daniel Penny learned this the hard way.

That’s infuriating, but what can you do?

You can do this, and it might make all the difference:

If I am on the jury, and you are accused of vigilante justice, you will walk. All it takes is one man on the jury who will not vote to convict.

One man is all it takes. Be that man, and crucially, let everyone know you will be that man, so they will feel safe to do the right thing.

I will be that man, and I don’t care about the details. Did the perp try to run away when he saw your gun, but you still shot him in the back? I don’t care.

Did you reload so you could keep shooting his corpse? That sounds reasonable to me.

Was the perp an oppressed minority and you are a privileged white male? Not a problem.

When the cops arrived, did they find you waving a bottle of Mad Dog while you teabagged a dead burglar? In that case, I’ll invite you over for some good liquor, after I make sure you are acquitted.

If you kill someone who had it coming, and I am on the jury, you will walk, even if you got a little carried away and enjoyed it too much.

If you feel the same, then quote-post this with your own promise, in your own words.

It’s important, because in the recent past, good men believed that if they charged the enemy, they would NOT be shot in the back by their own teammates. You can help end that. Please. We need you.
