<p>And again, Hanna, I am in no way excusing McQueary. My thoughts on human frailty and how it pertains to McQueary were referring to that moment in which he observed the assault and did nothing to intervene. I am not excusing it and am certainly not excusing his failure to follow up after the fact.</p>
<p>My comment “we all do things that have repercussions” was not suggesting that all sin is equal. I don’t subscribe to that belief and I don’t see how my comments suggested that. There is a continuum of wrongfulness, whether that wrong was done by action or inaction. </p>
<p>For the record, I think that all of the people who turned away, failed to follow up, and in any way ignored their responsibility to intervene, should be criminally charged.</p>
<p>Again, trying to understand an action or inaction is not the same as condoning it.</p>
