Ditto BK an excellent posting if you dont mind me saying
If I can go off on a tangent here, this thread led me to think of the miners strikes in the 1980's and all the arrests and the bloodshed, some men even died. I think it meant more to me cos I'm originally from the north-east where it started and have a lot of family there.
The men who broke the picket lines were called 'scabs' and that is what they were! To this day there is still some bad blood back there over this tho most of the mines have now closed and gone.
Anyway, my point is this, I think, we as humans have a sense of 'honour, or obligation or whatever you want to call it and when the chips are down if you break this honour you let down your comrades your fellow workers what ever happens to be the cause at the time.
You then become a 'scab' or a 'rat' or a 'stoolie' this doesnt mean your bad or you were wrong if it's for the good, just means you are accountable for your own actions. I in no way condone gansters or anything or 'scabs' for that matter but, Henry Hill was a 'rat' and that is a completely independent observation
