Spru, when I was 17, I was invincible. Well, you know what I mean. I really didn't have much common sense even into my 20s. What I'm trying to say is that I went for the adventure risky or not, relying on my wits to keep me out of trouble. Luckily I've not wrecked a car, spent time in jail, or got killed.
I admire the guy for standing up against evil. There should be more of him, and less of 'them'.
