Here is a scenario to test your analytical skills, reasoning, morale compass and philosophical acuity.
You live in a middle-class suburban neighborhood with modern housing, well-manicured lawns and posh landscaping. Your neighbors have moderate to conservative political leanings with a few very liberal neighbors sprinkled in for diversity.
For the most part, politics is not discussed much but when the topic is broached, the conversations are kept polite and each neighbor respects the other’s opinions.
However, there is one neighbor who lives about two houses down from you that has a yard festooned with Biden-Harris signs. She has organized gun-buyback campaigns in the community and lead demonstrations downtown and goes apoplectic at the sight of a Trump campaign sign.
She once called the police on a couple of toddlers playing cowboys and Indians with wooden rubber band guns. Even worse, she called Children’s Protective Services on the parents of the boy playing the part of the Indian because of the cultural appropriation.
She is also one of the wealthier neighbors that drives a late model Lexus but eschews fur coats or anything made with leather. She hosts the Vegan and Peta luncheons in her home on a monthly basis. The participants to these luncheons are the typical animal rights fanatics but remember their manners in this part of town.
The lady of this house wears the pants. Her teenage son identifies with gender neutral pronouns. He and his mother have been seen wearing identical dresses and pantsuits on family outings. The husband never lifts his head and rarely talks because he sounds like Truman Capote. He is afraid of loud noises and hides in the basement on the 4th of July.
Now that you have been presented the background it is time to test your analytical skills and decision making. Keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers to the question but be prepared to justify your answer.
It is dinner time and your wife has asked you to go get something to eat. You ask her what she is in the mood for. She responds with; “Oh I’m not sure; Chinese, Mexican or Pizza. I’ll let you decide for me honey.”
You strap on your Sig P365, kiss her goodbye, and get in the car. As you are driving away, you see a commotion in the aforementioned neighbor’s yard. As you pull out of the driveway and go down the street by her house, you notice that her son is passed out in the yard and the father is on the steps of the front porch sucking his thumb.
The lady of the house is on the ground with three men on top of her. Two of the men are holding her down with her arms pinned to the ground and the third has her pantsuit ripped off with her legs spread as he is about to defile her.
She is screaming for help, crying and begging the men to stop. She’s stopped being an atheist now as she’s even asking for the almighty to intervene. “Dear God! Please help me!”
You are only thirty feet away from the awful scene unfolding before your very eyes with your Sig P365 comfortably strapped to your waist. Now for the difficult question:
Do you bring home Chinese take-out, chicken tacos or a Pizza with the works?
