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.

Most of us when faced with real violence freeze. In training for combat that freeze response has to be overcome for a soldier to be of any use.

"“No one hunts with an assault rifle. No one needs 10 bullets to kill a deer!" - Governor Andrew Cuomo (Demagogue-NY)

Maybe not. But there is a reason people might need more rounds available and it has nothing to do with killing dee-ah!

With all the ferals in that scene standing around egging it on, it may have taken more than the seven rounds now allowed in NY to stop the attempted murder and especially if others decided to pile on you if you were attempting to stop it.

Of course, this was in New Joisey, so the chance of having any firearm around to defend oneself against these murderous ferals is slim and none and slim left town long ago.

This is one reason I try and stay out of these hell hole places that don't allow personal carry where the ferals have all the cards stacked in their favor.

Calling 911 may eventually result in incarceration and conviction (pretty unlikely, though) but what good is it going to do you if you are lying in a coma or dead?

Not a slam on you, but why is it that so many assume everyone has one of these?

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

I pity anyone who has to be anywhere near a pack of unassimilated gibsmedats like that; every day you take your life in your hands. I wouldn’t have gone anywhere near it (and I’ve done so in the past, when I was naive and idealistic). My family would be told I was trying to lynch a poor defenseless minority fast-food worker...

Technology is great; this story would have gone nowhere if it hadn’t been recorded.

I couldn’t agree with you more.

This might make you laugh.... For 30 long years I was paid to jump in the middle of that garbage and stop the assault. I retired about 12 years ago. I am the same guy, with the same principals and integrity, but this country and it’s people have changed.

While I am proud of what I accomplished as a very tenacious crime fighting LEO, if I had life to do over again, I think I would have rather been a professional photographer or perhaps a commercial pilot.

You have your mind right, much more than many folks.

I will now go back to lurking mode. ;>)

Cheers.....

My comment was intended to break the ice with respect to possible safety nets for such situations.

Thank you for your LEO service. I only hope your LEO brothers choose the right side when the time for choosing sides becomes essential.

“beating a women,” “beating the women,” and “beating the women.”

You, like others I have seen on FR, perhaps don’t know that the singular of “women” is “woman.”

And don’t tell me it’s a typo. I won’t believe you.

Why intervene when there is the possibility of getting sued for all you’re worth.

Go ahead, doofus, write in an ignorant fashion. I will not be alone in noting that you are not conversant with the English language.

Right. If you think I’m going to spend my time being careful about grammar & spelling on a message board then you have a strange sense of what’s important. You are a passive-aggressive type who has nothing better to do than hound posters over grammar. What a life you must live. Here’s a clue for you: I have two things you will never have. An Ivy degree & a couple of million dollars in the bank....now screw.

I guess the “Ivy” education didn’t “take” with you if you cannot reflexively spell common nouns, now did it?

It’s my understanding that a large percentage of people who have these degrees got them courtesy of the largess of mommy and daddy. I got my degrees by working hard at part-time jobs. They served me well.

Though I don’t have a couple mil in the bank, I do have a substantial net worth, which includes two homes. So, I get by.

You have a grammar fetish. It’s a mental disorder. I was a poor kid & got into school all on my own. You are a bully & a thug. I’ve seen your act out here trolling FR with this nonsense. Pouncing on posters over errors in grammar to make yourself feel superior. Thanks for the laugh. Oh, and get some help, or perhaps find a lady to get rid of that edge in your life because you lack something.
