It happens, but it's not very common, and decent folks step in and do something about it rather than run away. Of course it's easier to do something about it when you haven't been disarmed and made defenseless by your own government.

[ichabod1]

Generally not.

This guy knows how to handle himself while using public transit...........

"So, 30 passengers ran away knowing full well the man was being beaten."

30 people ran away from six punks beating a guy. Human excrement.

[ichabod1]

However there was an incident just last weekend where a bus passenger intervened in a beating and got the holy heck beat out of him.

"An armed society is a polite society" comes to mind. It is long over due, all sane, honest, law abiding people should be armed.

[LilyBean]

40 passengers and they couldn't take on 6 youths? This old world scares me more and more each day. What the hell is wrong with people?

[processing please hold]

"Youths?"

Could this be the same as those france "Youts?"

[sasafras]

"So, 30 passengers ran away knowing full well the man was being beaten. He was the only one who stood up for them but when the tables were turned, no one stood up for him"

Most of these liberal countries have publicly stated that they are against there own citizens protecting themselves. If the passengers would have defended themselves then they would be the ones on trial. This is the liberal/democrat values coming to America. Defend yourself against the vile human trash and you will be prosecuted. Liberals want and expect us to be helpless - the all powerful govt. is who they worship.

re :Generally not.

LOL I find that very hard to believe, I have read of such cases and not only on police camera action but even on threads here on FR.

[Moose4]

Oh, we do. Something like this could happen in almost any major American city, sadly.

I would love to go there with 6 or 7 of my buddies and go to town on these youths. How cool would that be. A bar fight against skinny little Muslims on an enclosed vehicle. A one sided cage match.

Of course, my wife wouldn't let me, so I am a differenct variety of a candyass. I can Romper Stomp a bunch of "youths", but I cannot handle my tiny wife (To be fair, she is 100% Cuban)

[MarineBrat]

After reading the comments on this thread, I can only guess that in America you do not have gangs of youth beating up individuals.

Not where I live. Never heard of it. And that is not sarcasm.

[Petronski]

“You see what happens if you intervene,” one of Guido Demoor’s colleagues at Belgian Rail is quoted in the newspaper De Morgen today. “If Guido had not opened his mouth he would still be alive.

Not much has changed in Belgium since 1940.

[Tancred]

Has anyone else lived in or visited Europe lately? Meaning, is this one article a sign of things to come, with a growing body of thuggish "youths" (all likely born in Europe from immigrants & all Islamic) who have nothing but contempt for the European society they live in, and a population of native Europeans that is unable/unwilling to defend themselves or their society?

[Blueflag]

Tony -- in the US, for the most part, and certainly in "red" state cities, we don't have rampaging 'youths' terrorizing people on buses.

Americans, particularly now, have a profound impatience with miscreants, and a willingness and propensity to 'kick your a$$' if you act out like that.

Other countries call us 'cowboys' and think it an insult. It's a badge of honor compared to being quoted in a paper as saying "I ran away for fear of getting involved or hurt."

It's why an American airplane will NEVER be hijacked by a group of passengers again. Ever.

It's part of being American -- a Yank, if you will -- that others don't get, and we treasure.

Food for thought.

re :It happens, but it's not very common, and decent folks step in and do something about it rather than run away.

I was lucky on the New York Subway when a gang of youth tried to mug me, there were two plain clothes police there, but before they intervened the other passengers averted there eyes.

[thoughtomator]

What year and location was that? This must have been pre-1988, yes?

[ccmay]

what they need is a few more skinheads.

[Gefreiter]

The youths become aggressive? Pretty easy to intimidate sheep. Thirty of them ran away from a couple of wanna-be wolves. That turns my stomach.

Those scrawny f*cks don't KNOW what aggression is. Let's see how aggressive they feel after a thorough brawl, with broken ribs, bitten-off ears, and liquid diet for a couple weeks.
