Adjudicated Parallels

I had been part of a pogrom along familial lines and bore the brunt of it later on. What it did was shatter all known cordial relations with somewhat finicky emotional people. They were not so greatly bonded with me, but the aftermath of this pogrom thrust a spear down my chest. It was a proverbial can of worms for everyone involved; remember the result is the same if you are a part of this pogrom or are the one initiating it.

It rests only with them as to how they react. The ball is in their court. Culpability from society is rife, though.
