That's the thing that is so unnerving about the video. People viewing it naturally place themselves in that position and ask themselves if they could just continue to casually saunter about with a seemingly lackadaisical and uncaring attitude while a young girl was HAVING HER HEAD STOMPED ON right next to them....and most people I think are going to say that there is a point where your own sense of humanity trumps a mere legal contract. If someone doesn't want to deal with it and walks away from it, that's one thing....but to just casually stand there while a GIRL is being beaten senseless, right next to you, is something that most men I know could never do.
If that isn't enough to get you to raise a finger, what is? How about if the attacker had pulled a Milwaukee Sawzall out of her purse and started sawing the girl's head off? Would they have become interested in her plight then? Or would they think that their employer would still fire them under such circumstances? Would they still care about their job so much more than this girl's life?
“Collective Bargaining” at its best?
pfft. Makes me sick.
And people wonder why America is so screwed up?
I would like to think that the best part of America is still here....you can see it here on Free Republic every day and in the Tea Party movement, to name just a couple of places.
A million years ago, I stopped what I later realized was a pimp beating his prostitute in the Philly metro, just because as a teenage tourist idiot, I was too naive to realize that's what was going on, and when a man threw a woman out of an arriving subway car against a pillar and started whaling on her, I said 'what do you think you're doing?' And he looked at me like I was a moron (which of course was correct) but he did stop.
I'd like to think I would still intervene.
