I think the point is...the dude gave his life up for a woman that didn't want to be saved
We like to think that these situations are as straight forward as stepping up to be protectors but if that woman isn't interested in being saved, what exactly are you putting yourself in harms way for?
Like I always say, before a woman put a battery in your back and you put your cape on, are you prepared to die or risk your freedom her?
Only two things happen when a man put his cape on, he ends up dead or in jail.
There ain't no good outcomes.
