I'm surprised perverse behaviour(expample) is associated withpolite response while
other behaviors get more serious responses.
I admit fear for our own security is powerful,
but fear to speak out against injustice is dangerous,
May humanity never be polite when faced with this,
even at our own peril.
Evil hates an open response, and loves quiet dark places.
