Conclusion

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Gal. 6:7). Those who fail or refuse to do good in the face of evil are sowing some dangerous seeds. They are doing nothing good as Jesus commanded them to do; they are helping evil to win and have ceased being good and have become partakers of the evil they did nothing to stop.
Do not allow evil to triumph. Do not do sit by and do nothing. Stand up and be counted, speak up against evil and speak out against evil men and their sinful deeds.


These post were spawn from an incident I handeled at a local car wash. We bot a call of a Domestic Battery occurring. Upon my arrival another Officer was dealing with the suspect and victim. I began speaking with witnesses. The first witnesses was a small , clean cut, mid 30's male who spoke right up to the details of the incident. He added at the end of his statement thet he had to talk to other males out of getting involved. He proudly stated that as the woman was being slapped around by the suspect these other two men went to their trunks to get baseball bats and clubs to intevien, but he told them not to get involved.

I approached the other two males, one was a young hispanic man who spoke little english and the other was a teenage black man who looked like he had just stepped out of a rapp video. The two were not together but both had a conviction inside them that urged them to end this injustice. They may have thought I was going to reprimand them for there potential threat of violence but what they got out of my was a hand shake and a thank you for trying to be the hero. The first guy did not like my attitude toward my fellow warriors, but most cowards don't like me anyway.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)
