8. The points others have made? Straw man? Nice way to avoid the real point
That no progressive worth a damned would let this happen to someone.

Would YOU let someone else's home burn to the ground in the situation described?

I know I wouldn't, even it was to prove a point I felt was valid. I would do what I felt was right at that time.

The debate can happen later, but when you are there, at that time - you do the right thing by someone else. Period.
