The worst one -

A guy on parole went to rob a gas station, but when he flashed the gun at the cashier, the cashier literally had a heart attack. The guy on parole actually stops and gives the dude CPR and calls 911, and keeps going until the ambulance arrives. My dad arrives and is required to arrest him, but through some legal mumbo jumbo basically lets the guy off the hook after the cashier gets to the hospital and begs for the guy to be let go.

So then my dad is reprimanded and demoted to a desk job, and the guy on parole goes to jail for life.

I feel so bad for the guy that violated his parole by committing armed robbery and put a guy in the hospital just because he tried to give him CPR after he robbed him.

So bad.

Yeah no, his ass definitely deserves to be in jail for life. Already on parole and committing an armed robbery? Absolutely fuck that guy.

"But he did CPR!"

So the fuck what? He's the motherfucker who caused the heart attack to begin with.

you can empathize while at the same time thinking he shouldnt have committed armed robbery

Not just "flashing a gun," literally using a gun to intimidate as part of an armed robbery, which caused the life-threatening situation to begin with. His dumb ass is lucky he was decent enough to do CPR, otherwise it could have been upgraded to manslaughter or something when the dude died from the criminal's actions.

Not to mention the guy was already on parole.

Your book needs some updates, dude. Just because a dude has some small percentage of a conscience left doesn't mean he's not a trash-person for committing armed robbery (while on parole).

I've saved my dad's life a few times since his medical situation took a downturn about 4 years ago.

I've also never endangered anybody's life or threatened anybody with a gun. So...

Basic CPR is like a 45 minute video course. Most people could do it just based off of what they've seen on The Office.

Why are you defending a dude who's dumb enough to commit armed robbery while on parole? Yeah, maybe he realized he'd be up for murder if the guy died as a direct result of the robbery, so he saved the dude's life. Maybe he draws the line at somebody dying as a result of his extreme criminal behavior.

Doesn't matter. He's a criminal who deserves to be in prison. He already got his second chance via parole and he royally fucked it up, so he has proven 100% that he does not deserve freedom.

Thats like someone lighting a building on fire, and then put it out before everything burned down. They still committed arson. Dude attempted to commit armed robbery and violated his parole. The fact that he performed CPR on HIS victim doesnt nullify that fact.

Armed robbery being a life sentence is kinda sad to me. I mean, he made a huge mistake, but no property loss or complaining witness, and tried hard to make it as close to right as possible, and he gets life?

Dad being demoted for respecting the victim's wish is sad to me also

Good Samaritan laws are laws that protect you from being sued if you fuck up trying to help someone in good faith. That way even if you only barely know how to do CPR you still might give it a shot rather than worrying about being sued for not doing it right.

If I was inadvertently harmed while you were trying to take my employer's money, and then you saved me, I would probably forgive you. And I probably would not want you imprisoned

Why does shockthemonkey take his gimmick so far every single time? dude gets heated at the first sign of a reasonable counter to his stance and starts posting nonsense.

The father got demoted because what he did was corrupt, no other way around it, even if he truly believed it was the right thing to do, it absolutely wasn't. The guy most likely violated the social contract numerous times before getting imprisoned the first time, and he couldn't even finish out his parole before committing multiple other felonies. He is exactly where he chose to be. The father had access to all this information and chose to place more importance on this guy doing one noble act than he did on protecting society from further harm.

Even though the story is a straight up lie, in the hypothetical it doesn't matter if he intended to take a life or not. He intended to commit armed robbery. While on parole.
