Fights, racism and being a bystander, sentence 13

Sometimes we decide someone hurt us on purpose when it was an accident; "jumping to conclusions" causes many fights, and checking first prevents them.

Who acts: we, someone, purpose, checking · What happens: decide, hurt, be, jump, check, prevent · To what, where: us, purpose, accident, fights · Speech: someone speaks here

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R6-punct-agree ×3, R7-rel-agree ×2. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
