I'm telling you that if you want to do something about this situation, you should do so properly. You are clearly impassioned by this individual's pseudo arrest. If you would like to contribute to his aid, you may do so in ways that do not draw attention to yourself or discredit you as a resource.
These [...] people are emotional. They are hurt and afraid and scattering to cover themselves in any way they can. Therein lies the weakness of this entire puppet show. Contributing to that weakness will not help you.
