That PTA lady was fortunate. This kinda thing happens all the time with class divides, power struggles, etc.
The world ain't civil, and the US simply changed the methods people use. There is so much tit for tat, eye for an eye, you wouldn't be wrong to think it is still the old testament.
The story itself is exceptional because she was fortunate there were 20 detectives with nothing better to do. Try to tell a story like this in any other neighborhood. In most cases, police are just trying to prevent those kinds of people from getting violent, and that is if that department is even functional.

- icebraining 10y ago> That PTA lady was fortunate. That reminds of Orwell's account in "Homage to Catalonia" of being shot in the Spanish civil war: “No one I met at this time -- doctors, nurses, practicantes, or fellow-patients-- failed to assure me that a man who is hit through the neck and survives it is the luckiest creature alive. I could not help thinking that it would be even luckier not to be hit at all.”
- abysmallyideal 10y agoPeople can be selfish, delusional, and cruel. If you take the Western ideals of individualism, a person would be lucky not to have to deal with people like the easters. Matter of fact is, everyone will have to at one point in their life or another.
