If he had tried to rob me and kidnap my girlfriend he would have died of lead poisoning back at the original parking lot. These kids must not have had a clue...

ok some weird guy pulls up and walks over to your driver side window with a pistol and they just sit there waiting for him to walk up.....hellow??? They don't do anything or at least try to drive away????

Maybe the teens were, ahem, distracted when the suspect came up to the car...

Times they are a-changing. When my husband and I were teenagers in the late 50's and early 60's it would have been much less likely that the young men would have passively allowed themselves to be bound and not to have gallantly done everything possible to protect their girlfriends.

I believe the boys reaction to this SOB is a by-product of post-modern educational philosphy presented in most public schools. "Group think" is highly valued. Individual responsiblity is down-graded. Lessons in value clarification teach self-interest is superior to self-sacrifice.
