I know that sounds bad, but hear me out.

I’ve decided to begin following this group of people around, and they all learn from this one (30M at the time, Jewish) guy, he teaches us pretty cool things. Let’s call him Joshua.

Fast forward a couple of years and me, 11 other good friends and a girl are actually really close to Joshua. (Now 33M) He starts telling us how he’s the son of a pretty high up, rich guy (Preeeeeeeeetty high up).

Now, the other high ups (not nearly as high up as his dad) don’t like him, at all. He ain’t good for business.

And Joshua’s a pretty nice guy. (So nice it actually makes me kinda jealous lol jk) He’s always been nice to me, so i figured he didn’t deserve the flack he got, but he was always adamant on not using his (or his father’s?? Never quite got this, it’s like he’s his own father…) power and influence to stop the authorites from disliking him for SOME reason.

So I (45M, Jewish) start making up some plans to get him to use his power.

But when we went to sit down and have dinner with the guy, he starts accusing me, saying that he knew my plans!

I get out of there furiously, and begin to put my plans in action.

I get in touch with the authorities and tell them where Joshua is hiding. This oughta make him use his (his dad’s?) power.

They even give me $400 dollars as a reward.

So then it turns out that Josh, being stubborn as he is, decides not to use it, and is now on death row for some reason.

The other guys (and the girl) are now shouting at me, one of them even tried to punch me, telling me I killed Josh.

Now I think all my actions were justified.

Am i the asshole?
