CAGiversary!
You know, I was thinking today about DD and I think I understand him a little better. I think the biggest difference in the line of thinking is the fact that he isnt a minority (at least I think so..) But both lines of thinking are needed equally.
For example, as the victim of a crime you have no choice but you accepted what happened and overcome. Think of victims of rape, when you listen to the ones that seem to have a normal life afterwards they all went through a period of self loathing, doubt, then understanding, then acceptances, then overcoming. The ones that dont make it usually cant get past it and the event pays over and over for them everyday.
But as an observer of a crime it should be your duty to inform, educate and above all else not let it be swept under the rug for the people who want to just wish it away.
Hope that makes sense. I kinda see it as a heads and tails of the same coin now I guess.
