I keep thinking what would they have done if that girl was being raped? Just stand by and watch?
It wasn't a gang fight, it was girl being viciously assaulted right in front of these 'men'. Worrying about law suits and the like is a poor defense of their cowardice. No judge would allow these men to be punished in any way for saving this girl from a horrible beating, or even death. In a situation like this, if instinct doesn't overcome 'training', then you are indeed a coward. Maybe you were trained to be a coward, but a coward none-the-less.
It was a *cat fight* and we know how that is promoted by Hollywood writers and voyeurs.
Looking at the video again; one “guard” takes the time to rescue a plastic bag that was dropped by the attacker!
This is unbelievably disgraceful!
I will say you have the most ironic tagline in all FReeperdom...
“I’m always aghast when I see a FReeper say something like FReeper PLMerite has posted.”
Right. Call me when you’ve jumped into a random gang fight, knowing that the “security guards” aren’t going to help you either.
“It was a *cat fight* and we know how that is promoted by Hollywood writers and voyeurs.”
It wasn’t a “cat fight,” it was a cat backed up by a dozen or more of her thug friends.
And be so vocal about it. That's the funny part. Its like going on to a gun club forum and telling them guns are too noisy, they hurt people, and I wouldn't have one in my home.
Yeah, they'd be soiling themselves.
LOL! Maybe he should change it to: Ride to the sound of guns - - but only when the cards are stacked in our favor.
“I will say you have the most ironic tagline in all FReeperdom...”
When it comes down to the real fight, I’m there. In the meantime, I can show you places where you’ll have no trouble throwing your life away by jumping into gang fights to “help.”
Hey, you’re in Washington State, maybe you can go patrol the bad neighborhoods and tell us all how you broke up gang fights...
Well, at least 4 perps have been arrested 3 adults and a 15 y.o. juvie. I don’t hold out much hope for the system to work there. Did the ‘observers’ even call the police? I couldn’t tell if the observers were African-Americans from the video.
Now you’re being ridiculous, PLMerite. No one here has advocated actively going out and searching for these types of situations. We are saying that if this is happening right in front of you, any decent human being would feel an obligation to try to help another person!
This is why I pack heat, legally or not. It’s still my right to defend myself.
Little noticed in the whole thing is the guy who walks over and takes off with the shopping bag the victim dropped as she was being beaten. This was also a robbery.
They’re’s nothing wrong with there writing over their.
Mextrosexual security guards.
The problem is that “decent human being” has no place in this environment and will suffer the consequences of pretending they still live in a “decent” nation.
metaphor!
My point was the total lack of concern by the *guards* - (the video did not show the rest of the attackers) - so had to wonder why they were behaving like spectators - rather than uniformed security personnel.
apologies for being obtuse.
