"and nobody lifting a finger as the man was nearly taken out by hoodlums."

Actually, two black guys blew off the attackers, and put him back in the truck....not that that would do Denny any good,he was unable to drive; but the jesture cooled off the onlookers, who were enjoying the "sacrifice". There were 2 black heroes amidst a whole bunch of scum. If they haden't come forward, Denny would be dead.

I'm not sure about that. I could have sworn that I read where a black man who was watching it on TV was appalled and actually went to the scene and rescued Mr. Denny. I'll see if there's a Google on it.
