Ya think that just might be why they did not step in?
Not at all. Nobody stepped in because there are few in this Nation left with moral scruples or a sense of right and wrong.
I would have. I'm 71 years old and not very big and not very strong, but I would have stepped in. Of course, I probably would have had the shite beat out of me but I would've stepped in.
About 20 years ago I saw what I thought was a group of 3 teens beating an elderly man at a closed MacDonald's. I was in the car and turned around and went back as fast as I could. On the way, I thought I'd probably be beaten badly but I decided to try to bluff my way through. When I got up to them it wasn't an elderly man at all, but another teen wearing a long overcoat and the 4 of them were then just walking along together.
