The people who refuse to stand up to an injustice out of fear are the reason things are as screwed up as they are over there.
I would say a more accurate description would be the kid brother who also steals a cookie, gets caught, but is not punished. Its ok though, when mom isn't looking, I will take care of the kid brother. I have no problem going out and getting my own dam bag of cookies. Screw Mom!
