If I recall, one interesting note from the studies was that someone from a rural background was more likely to intervene than someone from a city background. Perhaps this correlates to the Kurdish woman's sentiments?

I think you're onto something, but it also is a very telling notion about the 2000 presidential results map, the real reason the behind red and blue.

It may have more to do with this map. The libs in the dem controlled cities are the ones who seem to be more reluctant to pass CCW laws.

You may need some more information. A CCW is a Concealed Carry Weapon license.
Vermont and Alaska are the only two states where a license isn't necessary.
"Shall Issue" means that the controlling authorities can't pick and choose individuals they deem worthy to have their rights. They have to issue the license if the applicant is a law abiding citizen.
"May Issue" means the sheriff can deny an application if the person isn't a personal friend or contributor. That's why most sheriffs and police chief are for this type of law. It keeps the coffers full.
"Rights Denied" are just that. No license is possible.
