Caferacer, I love that quote. I have a rendition of it under my SBG avatar. So true and so relevant.

I hope I can assume that they have been taught caution and restraint as part of their training. I understand the call for safty I just think differently on this one.
To act on emotion is human. Our emotion are not a problem. When we see injustice we are supposed to feel something. Feeling is what compels us into action. Just don't become overcome with your emotions.
Please allow me to speak from my own experience.
Ten years ago a friend an I were walking downtown at about 10 at night. The street was deserted because it was a Tuesday and the boozers don't really come out until Thursday in my town.
We heard a commotion down the main street and looked down the road only to see about 8 white trash hip hop hooligans harassing this old man. He was likely in his late fifties to mid sixties. They were sort of swarming around him as he walked down the street eating his slice of pizza. I think they even stole the pizza from him.
I don't think they were going to turn violent on him, but it still was a very bad situation and someone needed to stop those little bastard demonspawn bullies from behaving like such dung eating wild animals.
You want to know what my friend and I did?
Absolutely nothing.
We were to freaked out to say anything. We just kept on walking. Later we tried to convince ourselves we had done the right thing, that there was nothing we could have done. Bullocks!
I still feel horrible when I think about it. When I went home I had to look at myself in the mirror and I did not feel like a good person that day let me tell you. We didn't even try.
Someone was in need and I could have helped and fear paralyzed me from any action. Fear of their reaction. Fear of confrontation and fear of harm to my own body.
Since then I have helped other people in tough situations. I don't ever want to be on the receiving end of and angry conscience ever again. I was in the right place at the right time to help and I did nothing.
These ninjas were in the right place and they did something. If they didn't you couldn't ever take them seriously. They might as well hang up those ninja pajamas at the door.
There are always going to be unknowns going into a situation like that. If we let that stop us then we would never do anything.
Heroism is acting in the face of peril even when there are unknowns. If this were no true it wouldn't be called heroism. Its a split second decision where every second counts.
