that’s the exact attitude that guy this guy a beatdown, and gets people mugged, beaten and killed everyday. people don’t stand up and help to stop these actions.

so yes, absolutely she should have jumped in. she’s extremely lucky they didn’t turn on her next.

if she really wanted to protect, she should have either helped beatdown the thugs or at least high tailed it out of there while calling in help. standing and watching is inexcusable.

What is this, the movies? In real life, an unarmed woman is unlikely to be able to take on 6 violent thugs.

or at least high tailed it out of there while calling in help.

She may have been in shock- how many people are exposed to violence on a regular basis? Let alone, a group of thugs beating your husband nearly to death after he defends your young daugther from being molested? We don't know whether she had the ability to reach a phone.

I don’t think it’s healthy to go off on some CCW fantasy about blasting these people. It rarely turns out to happen that way. These type of incidents are increasing everywhere and nothing is being done.
Sure it feels good to sit here on the board and talk about how we all would have blasted them. It’s not reality though.
We need to stay focused on what is real and realize that criminal behavior is not being punished in this country in an effective way, “unless you defend yourself with a weapon” then you get the book thrown at you and you lose your life’s savings defending yourself.
The civlized are paralyzed. This is bad.
