I know they were set on their ways but maybe I could have warned them 1st. I guess directly telling them about the consequences might have made me another victim of the violent group mentality but what about a hypothetical question instead? Could I have prevented such a tragedy by phrasing things differently? Even though G-D knows I didn’t institute this act directly it sorta feels like I fashioned it by not interjecting or at least slowing things down to think before one acted. Things might have still turned out the same way but at least I would have known I did what I truly could.
