I know this sounds bad, but hear me out.
Earlier this month, I was walking home from the store as usual. I began smelling a feint burning smell and I heard muffled shouting ahead. I picked up the pace to discover the commotion. A building was on fire and a small child was standing by the second story window shrieking for help as flames rose behind him. Luckily, I had been doing parkour ever since I was a teen so I climbed up to his window and reached out to grab the child. He reached out for me as well and I hoisted him down on my back. When we reached the ground the child ran to his parents and they thanked me while hugging him.
Later today I was visiting a friend in prison who happens to be serving a sentence for attempted murder of many children. He said I was an asshole and I shouldn’t have saved the kid from the burning building. Ever since, I can’t help but feel like kind of an asshole so I would appreciate to hear a third persons perspective on this. So reddit, AITA?

Daha az görYTA. I don't really know the situation here but it seems like that you've committed treason to your friend. Not just any friend, but a CONVICTED friend. You did not only save the child but prolonged his suffering because now instead of dying early, he could die by getting hit by a truck or slowly eaDevamını oku

Reconsider your life choices OP.

You’ve really shown your unconscious bias and privilege. Did you know that statistically more kids die in fires than they do in murder for hire plots by parents? Well you took that child away from a sure death by fire, basically making sure any fire based statistics moving forward will be inaccurate. And even worse, you handed that child directly into the care of their parents, who are the ONLY people who could contribute to murder for hire plot by a parent statistics. You’ve literally created a situation where statistics aren’t just wrong, they are totally opposite if what nature intended. If I was the local judge or senator, I would sentence you and that child to death by fire to make this right
