WOW. I like that photo for a variety of reasons, not the least and most high-minded is that …wow, that’s not the first place the mind goes when one thinks of Sikh men. *cough*

Anyway.
The phrase “this incident inspires us” reminded me of something I saw tweeted earlier this week, asking how the story of a disabled person inspired you – and to do what? I have the same question here. Someone being jacked around was inspiring to you… how? Yeah, not thinking there was anything particularly inspirational here, and I hate how we misuse words with actual meanings.
