Just have to get some of this out.

I had the opportunity to be a witness re what some people had done to me recently and determined with help that it would be too traumatic. I am sorry you were forced.

Mason, I won't try and offer any advice or direct any guilt. I didn't live your experience, so who am I to say how you should process it? That being said, know that I am here to listen. I have the utmost respect for you for how you have pushed through and continue to live every day. If you ever need someone to vent to, I will be happy to be there for you, and I will never judge. Keep up the good work, man!

Oh. My. God!
@TheNewMason from our many convos, I knew of this. But to see this here, now, in this details, that portrayal... It's just utterly horrific.
Used. And tossed aside when the service rendered was achieved.

Why is that not illegal?
These guys seem (so it seems to me) to be all gung-ho to get the bad guys. Feel a sense of accomplishment too. Maybe even classify themselves as heroes. They champion themselves on serving justice and fighting for the vulnerable. They just simply re-abuse.

How is it possible - especially witnessing that scene - to not have an extended sense of plain human compassion and concern?
They're not the heroes... in this story, it's certainly YOU! Though given the circumstances, you probably don't feel that way.

I'm so sorry
