While one of these days you will find yourself at the edge of an open mass grave staring down at dozens if not hundreds of corpses wondering how you got there just before a single pistol shot to the back of your head rings out.
The apparatchiks of the state are not your friend ,the open mass grave that is the history of the 20th century prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt.
This knee-jerk response has no bearing on the instance covered by the article. Free obedience to just law is the issue here, as was Peter's reaction to just and unjust regulation. Justin Martyr was a student of Peter, reportedly.
Even so, if it happens, a shot to the back of the head is not the end of everything. They can only kill the body. Think of Paul Schneider and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who were meek to the right and rebellious to the wrong, not vice versa.
Think of the old tale of George Washington, who took a whipping, rather than tell/act a lie. That is what the boy of this article accomplished, knowing the consequence.
