content: She is not pressing charges because, if she did, she would look mean. And potentially face judgment from her peers. She is not pressing charges because, by not doing so, she can virtue signal about how forgiving and kind she is. And receive more sympathy and praise from her peers. She is doing it for herself. Nothing else. Neither her, nor her peers, stop to think about the consequences of what they are doing, or failing to do. None of them consider, that failing to punish the wicked invites further and escalating wickedness. None of them realize, that previous failures to punish such things are the very reason this incident happened in the first place. None of them care, that their failure to act today creates an ever more wicked world, which their children will have to live with tomorrow. This is not forgiveness. It is not commendable. It is selfish, and it is cowardly, and it is weak, and it is foolish. Why would you respect that?
