Poll: Would you have intervened in Salem assault?
NJ.COM ^ | 06/28/2014 | Jessica Beym

A Salem City woman is being sought by police for her alleged role in a brutal attack on a 27-year-old woman Tuesday. Latia Harris, 25, is accused of assaulting Catherine Ferreira and threatening to kick the woman's 2-year-old son while a crowd of onlookers stood and watched, some of them recording the beating with their cell phones rather than intervening.

I would have called 911. I’d never have been there, though.

I usually do intervene in bad situations such as this in public. Usually those who are with me, warn me to “stay out of it” ... LOL ...

There’s a reason why crazy assed crackers should avoid certain neighborhoods. Let them take out their own.

“This is not the America I once knew.... this is Obama’s and the democrats mess, it’s not mine anymore.”

My sentiments exactly. Sadly, not only is the law stacked against any white man who tries to intervene or stop any kind of incident, even a murder, involving a non-white ethnic minority, but the non-white ethnic crowd would tear that white man to shreds.

So, I will only “jump in” or fight to save me and mine. viciously attacked.

But that’s it.

I will not go to jail to try to save someone not fitting the above. I will not ruin my family’s well-being and livelihood, either.

Obama and the Democrats have destroyed this country. God damn them all to hell!

True story: back in the 70s a guy who worked for my dad intervened to stop a man from beating a women outside of a bar. The guy who was beating the women senseless & the WOMEN turned on my dad’s employee and started beating on him....it gets worse.

The guy who was beating the women (who it turns out was his girl friend) took a knife out and hacked my dad’s employee to death. I was a young kid, and after this my dad took me aside and said remember this: don’t get involved with strangers fighting.

It was a difficult thing for my dad to do cause he was a WW 2 guy. Good citizen. Loved people, but this changed him. Changed me too. The whole “no good deed goes unpunished” thing entered my life.

I understand. As much as someone who has never experienced anything remotely like your story can empathize. I think, the best thing for me to do would be to call the cops and film it. Have they caught her yet? Have they fired her from McDonalds’ yet?

Where are Christie’s rainbow voters?

Maybe Thad Cochran should come in for a peace gathering.

The illegals murdered 3 black college students in 2007. Tancredo and Romney hit Giuliani on his sanctuary city support.

I remember when we had an office near a mall. One day a large black woman came running in being pursued by an even larger mall cop. “Stop her”, he yelled. We were all thinking “Yeah, right” as we moved out of their way. I never know how I will react to a particular situation. If I have my family with me I might react 180 degrees differently than when I don’t.

I’m a middle aged woman, but I would certainly have grabbed the kid (such a good boy who strove to defend his mother) and called 911. I also might have gone into the McD’s and told the managers that one of his workers was out of control.

Mace is probably illegal in many of these "blue" states anyway.

A better (legal) choice is a can of hornet spray and a lighter. The hornet spray is designed to spray a nest from 20-30 feet away with a long, narrow stream. Hold a lighter in front of it, and you've got the most fearsome weapon any of those quasi-humanoid mutants have ever seen. There's something very primal and horrific about setting an animal like that on fire, I'd say.

Eh, it seems they knew each other worked together, it was personal between them. Of course the black woman is in the wrong, but it seems that this was not exactly a race-based attack.

“The illegals murdered 3 black college students in 2007”

You remember! I mentioned that heinous crime the other day here.

I really thought things would change. That the blacks might wake up and realize the left wasn’t really on their side.

But....nothing.

And it got plenty of coverage in NJ. It wasn’t like the MSM hid the story.

One gal survived (iirc, she literally played dead) and gave testimony at the trial.

Nothing has changed. Illegal, criminal hispanic trumps black. Does it trump gay? That’s what we are waiting to find out.

Likely any white person attempting to intervene would have been torn apart by the crowd of negros enjoying the spectacle.

The only safe way to intervene would have been to put a bullet into the attacker, but that would have gotten the rescuer the Zimmerman treatment. And NJ is NOT a shall-issue CCW state.

About 20 years ago I witnessed a similar situation in Oakland with one difference. A ginormous black woman was smacking the living crap out of a small black guy. Crowd of about 12 males and females egging her on. I went and got into my vehicle and immediately got hemmed in by arriving cop cars. After 30 minutes or so a Sgt. came over and asked me if I had seen anything and I said “No, officer I had my head down doing paperwork.” he said “Smart man.” There were kids present by it wasn’t worth my life to get involved.
