>>Now, which of the scenarios is true?
It's my example and in the program I saw, somebody is berating a child on the sidewalk and the person who steps in is NOT told s/he is fanning the flames. Nor are they exploiting Chinese people or resenting the abuser because s/he has more money.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
