We are not savages, we are humans with abilities to feel compassion for others. What that 'gang' as a whole did was utterly stupid. However that 1 guy did not 'deserve' to get run over anymore than any other guy there. I feel for Lien and Meises.... not enough to donate to either side though! I hope they all lose their licenses. Catching 1 in a bunch with no license is hard, but catching the whole bunch with no licenses I think is a lot easier! |
I think that's the problem for me... Not being able to feel much/any sympathy for Meises. I definitely do for his kids but less for his parents, aunt, & wife. I can understand their pain and suffering seeing a loved one like that. However, for them to point their fingers at Lien and Meises the victim. Not even acknowledging the wrong doing on his part, I think that's just wrong on so many levels.
Salt to injury, Meises's father being a pastor. For me personally, I'm very disappointed that a family of what I would consider a "devoted christian" would do that. If they just said something like "we understand he shouldn't have been part of that group but he's not a evil person like everyone's making him out to be." It feels as if they're one of those "do as I say, not as I do" type of "christian leaders" and I just can't respect that type of people.
I do agree on what you say about just 1 guy not deserving it any more than others that were there. This whole incident is just really sad and unfortunate. I'm bit surprised that no one actually died. I hope Meises does recover, learned his lesson, and use himself as an example to show other "bikers" not to drive their motorcycles reckless or get involved in events like those.
