A few days ago, Scot Peterson was charged with multiple felonies for his inaction during the Parkland shooting last year. At first, I was thrilled with the idea. String him up! I thought.
Then I had a conversation on Facebook with some people I respect, and I reconsidered my position.
I was pretty terribly conflicted as I left the jail complex. That deputy—his name tape had said Desilva—obviously needed help. So did the inmates who were still left alive.
