One blow

Champion Mirzaev killed a student Agafonov. One blow. Now, two weeks later, we, the inhabitants of Moscow, think whether there will be pogroms, whether the paving slabs, generously laid out on the streets of the capital, will finally be used “for its intended purpose”?

In December, Circassians killed Sviridov with one “blow”. Then the pogroms did not wait, but they almost happened. And we clearly saw that in order to blow up such a city as Moscow, one deadly blow was enough in a fight with the participation of completely unknown persons. Despite the fact that in fights or as a result of hooligan beatings hundreds die. But if the blow was delivered by Mirzaev or Cherkesov Agafonov or Sviridov, the multimillion city can stand on its hind legs and the wave will go to Vladivostok.

Now everyone is relishing the details of the death of Ivan Agafonov. And they are trying to fit the “correct” answer to their own, which is in advance in the head. The so -called Slavs are indignant and demand to plant Mirzaev for life. The so -called Caucasians demand to release immediately. Well, perhaps the fighters stand out from the total mass - but only because they have their own, corporate, solidarity.

If you are the champion, do not hit the weak. If you are a champion, you must understand that your blow will cripple a simple mortal.

And vice versa. If a drunk guy with obscene offers will pester your girlfriend - will you not give him in the face? And is it possible to kill a hundred -kilogram children with one blow, especially if you are half of him?

Immediately there were rumors that Agafonov himself passed in some matters that he was expelled from his studies-as if on this basis he could be beaten to death.

There were none of the reasoning people on the spot. The video does not give us any idea of ​​what happened. Sound, which is more important than the picture in this case, is not at all. Well, on the basis of what we are building conclusions in this case? Two excited young guys, at night, during a serious quarrel, in which a woman is also involved ... And we talk about it, sitting calmly in an armchair and reasonably reasoning.

Law enforcement officers detain a participant in an unauthorized action of nationalists in Moscow. Participants in the action opposed the liberation of the world in mixed martial arts Rasul Mirzaev, accused of beating to the death of 19-year-old student Ivan Agafonov. RIA Novosti.

Our judgments are completely abstract, who do not have and cannot have anything to do with the real incident and real death. These are our reflexes. “Black”, bearded, ugly killed the young and smiling “our” guy. That's all. Like in the same boxing or sambo. We are rooting for ours simply because he is ours, and it doesn’t matter whether he is better than he is an opponent or objectively weaker, he is sympathetic as a person or so -so.

But that would be more half -worn if it were not for the evidence of a simple fact. Every incident in which the Caucasian will kill or just beat the same little -known Russian in certain circles, can lead to excitement with the participation of thousands of people and such consequences that it remains only to hope that everything will cost.
