As my experience taught me (reinforced really), unless you have known the person for years, you do not know the entire situation. That said, your CCH inst made things a lot more b&w than they are. If I just stood by and watched the two guys die like everybody else was content doing, I would have it on my conscience that I did nothing, and I would never have known why it was a grey area. You live with your failure to act just as you live with you actions.

I guess I would rather live with no action than to lose time with my family and the job that supports them because I defended the wrong person in a situation where I didn't know the whole story....

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. But at the end of the day I have a family to feed and protect. That ain't gonna happen if I get locked up trying to save a stranger that was the instigator.....

My 2 cents.
I guess that is why they say no two situations are the same.

It just dawned on me that skate boarders are a bit of a crazy bunch. If you've watched many of their "crash and burn" videos you'd agree that these dare devilsdon't worry much about their safety.
