[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3550896, member: 5412"] I think people are afraid to intervene in fear of being harmed #1 and the fear of being sued #2 that prevents them from assisting. Society is teaching people to not fight back and submit vs back in the day when you were almost obligated to assist others in need of help because that is what people do. There are actually some laws in effect to this day in states that say if you don't assist in that situation you could be charged, but I've never heard of anyone being prosecuted for that. Feel good legislation most likely. It's a HUGE personal decision about how one would progress when they encounter a situation like the OP. Watched a video today of an Asian guy getting pummeled brutally by a black guy which seems to be the "norm" in these confrontations on a subway in NYC. People were watching it like a video on their phones. Nobody intervened. Just sat there and did nothing. It's sad, but its also what society has been driven to now by the politically correct, woke narrative. [/QUOTE]
