Society is frequently subjected to moral panics when any crime is committed. Humanity repeatedly blows crimes and incidents out of proportion until the entire society is somewhat controlled.

beating their children or fighting dogs! I cannot agree with having someone he a hero over their abilities‚ it is their actions and positive motivations to make this world a better place that makes a true hero.
