Dead Men Don't Talk

I posted the following comments on Galaxy's article 【開槍,有感而發】:

Context/issue:  With all the recent shootings in Toronto, should parents teach their children to shut up instead of speaking up?  

There are no easy answers. Here are my suggestions:

I always remind the young ones that "dead men don't talk", meaning:  If you are dead, it doesn't really matter whether you are in the right or in the wrong.

For example:  Don't throw your body in front of the driver who is running thru the red light, even tho you have the righ-of-way. Yield then take down the license plate.

Stand up for your principle, but choose a tactic/strategy to defend it.
