“Stan Battles reportedly took the video Wednesday morning from his balcony on the 28th floor of a resort. ...”

The outlet reported Battles had been watching the shark for a couple of hours in murkier waters until it swam into a clearer area, which is when the woman swam by. That’s when he started filming the shark.”

So, instead of filming, why in hell didn’t he try to warn her or notify the authorities? I guess it’s a sign of the fast deteriorating times we’re living in.

So who do you call and what do you tell them?

Just curious about what an empty-headed virtue-signaller like you would have done that would have made a whit of difference.

Sounds like he new it was already taken care of:

“In the video, beachgoers can be heard calling out to the woman, urging her to come back to shore. Some were heard screaming: ‘Shark!’”

Honestly, I don’t think I would have done anything more. Folks already know the shark is there and they’re sounding the alarm.

Maybe because HE WAS ON THE 28TH FLOOR OF A RESORT.

Even if he was, ever yell over crashing waves?

And calling authorities? Who do you call?Roy Scheider?

And assuming their were authorities, they'd not show up in time, anyway.

Most sharks are harmless and, sharks swim amoung the tourist a whole lot of times without incident(I've been bumped and didn't know it until I looked back as it swan back away from shore.)

...The woman is seen swimming towards shore, with the shark following her for a bit, until it appears to turn the other direction and swim away.

Battles told the Herald he ran down to the beach to talk to the woman, but she apparently never saw the shark.

“She was just like, ‘I think I’m done with the ocean,’” he said.
