I understand, and somewhat agree with the ideals that you are putting forth, but in this case they really don’t fit very well. The father caught the 67 yr old guy in the act of kidnapping the 13yr old daughter at 1am. So, that brings in a lot of questions that your theoretical discussion doesn’t cover.

Of course, the entire situation gets even more fucked up as you find out things like the father was a applying to be a cop at the time. Which leads us down an entirely different rabbit hole of issues.
