When do I speak up

I speak up when I feel like someone's being ignorant odoesn't always have to be to me. I'll always have my buddy's back, vice versa ... so if I've have ever heard someone talk or say anything negative about them I'll stand up for them definitely and when I say something I tend to raise my voice a little bit. We live in Santa Maria where you might get shot for saying something 😂 Be careful
