How many of you would actually get involved in the above scenario and how many would just walk away like so many of the people featured?
This is a common issue with all sorts of situations. It's amazing how people can live next to a family where they can clearly hear one of the family getting beaten on a regular occasion, yet never report it to police. Or you you have someone getting attacked on a bus, with nobody phoning Police let alone intervene.
So, are you going to be part of the bystander effect or do you make a difference?
I'd have either hit him, or if the adrenaline made me flee like the little girl that I am, I'd have called the police straight away.
Wow, it's amazing how many people walked off, but not particularly surprising these days, in all honesty. People don't seem interested in helping others, even with the slightest things
HAHA The fire extinguisher dude!
But seriously though, if it was clear the guys were serious then any saneful person would intervene and call the police.
Lol @ the woman hitting the guy with a newspaper!
If I was in that situation I would probably starting bashing the guy on the head with my heavy duty handbag.
I've jumped into things too quickly before and got reprimanded by the police for getting involved.
