Prof, I believe you're writing from the POV we colloquially describe as, "I mean well for you."
Yet, the subtext of your writing encourages moral ambivalence and to an extent, corrupt complacency.
Those are really the bane of our society. A situation where people are afraid to take principled stand on very weighty issues for fear of consequences.
Please encourage us to take solid moral stance on issues like this, not to look the other way.

The values we espouse now would shape several generations after us.
I don't much, but I for one, would not accept such a poisoned chalice of an appointment.

@IgboHistoFacts Assuming he stole a car, when did it become ok to KILL someone for stealing a car? Ironically, by same people that loot and pillage the nation's resources. A lot of people seen as "national heroes" are actually a disgrace to humanity. This was nothing but murder. Blood lust.
@ChifeDr I think this young girl is likely depressed and anxious and would need medical intervention and empathy. This is a cry for help. Someone close to her should reach out now and initiate appropriate assistance while the window is open.
