Argued with my mother over this a thousand times. Her refrain is always: "What was he doing there in the first place?"
Can't get past it. I can ask why the arsonists were there in the first place, I can say you don't excuse a rape because you're asking why the girl was dressed like that on the seedy side of town, etc, etc. Nothing works.
He was there to help a friend keep his business from being destroyed, right? And clean graffiti and render medical aid. He was there bc he felt the need to step up for his community as the town burned and police stood down.
He shouldn't have had to be there bc local govt and law enforcement should've been doing their jobs. Try that.
