What’s sick is how the violence creeps into you. You know what you’ve seen is wrong, but you accept it because everyone around you accepts it. Or at least on the surface they do. Morals are a vulnerable thing. Your sense of justice is influenced by how other people act. Maybe it’s cowardly not to say anything in such a situation, but there’s a real chance you’d get in trouble if you opened your mouth. And when everyone thinks like that, there’s an agreement that it’s OK. It’s how it should be.
