Do we really need to say it? “A man was clobbered by a stranger during a robbery on a Bronx sidewalk — as at least six passersby watched but did nothing to help, surveillance video released by police Tuesday shows.”
The surveillance footage, released by authorities Tuesday morning, shows the individual boisterously yelling at his 49-year-old victim. The video later cuts to footage of the victim being thrown to the ground from out of the camera’s view.
The attacker begins yanking the knapsack from the 49-year-old victim’s back while repeatedly hitting the man’s head, snatching his wallet, and then fleeing — all as witnesses stroll by, the video shows.
Why didn’t the victim or any of the passersby on the street do a thing to help? OK, we’ll say it. This is what happens to a disarmed populace. And we’ll get more of this as efforts to disarm gun owners and make gun ownership more difficult and expensive advance in various states.
You seem very angry.
I hope you don’t have any of those scary assault weapons.
Not angry at all.
But I have an ability to realistically assess violence achieved through life experiences and training which you do not have.
Any poster here who claims to know who they are posting to or believes he know anything about other posters is engaged in self-deception.
Self-deception just might undermine one's ability to "realistically assess" anything.
You have posited assertions that nobody with any experience in fights where the stakes inclued potentially being maimed, or potentially being incarcerated would make.
The alternative to lack of experience is stupidity, and there isn’t a third possibility here.
I promise you are not.
