I came across this youtube video and I was appalled none of the bystanders came to this guys aid. They should be arrested as well for failing to take any action.

And please, this is not a political post and I am not turning this into a black and white thing.

Apparantley, the guy who got beat up spoke out because the perpetrators were cutting line. He was beat unconscious.

Well, my point was to show what cowards the bystanders were. I did not want this to turn into a racial thing.

I give this thread one more hour before it gets closed.

Well racist thing aside. Thats the way america is. The united states. It wouldnt matter if the guy was skinny and white. Attitude here is, I think so, he could have a gun. And he could.


Any other country than the US and by standers would jump in right away.

You wouldn't have jumped in. I am willing to bet you probably would have stood there and waited for it to be over like the other guys.

The reality is that as you were sitting in your comfortable room watching this from start to finish, the people who experienced this were there in present time in a hostile environment. When a situation out of the ordinary happens to a people they end up freezing and they often don't know what to do. When you don't know what to do you become scared and you feel helpless and that is exectly what happened.

Since the situation happened in real time there were 100 different scenerio's as to how this would have ended (and I am sure many of them were going thorugh the people's head). No one knew if this guy or his women had a gun and would have capped anyone's ass willing to interfere.

Who would have probably not stood there? Police officers, firefighters and people with a military background. Those people are used to going to extreme scenerios and saving strange people life. Amateurs either don't do anything, get lucky or fail misrably (just like in seduction, if you don't have the mindset to do something every day you are an amateur)

I am big on respect and when I see something like that happen it makes me very angry and my adrenaline would kick in (as it would most people).

Maybe you are right, I did not know this guy (the victim). Maybe I would not have jumped in. However, if that were a friend or family member, my a$$ would be in there (even it is was 5 on 1). It is better to get a beat down, get seriously injured or even die, then to live your life in shame as a coward. (I am talking about a friend or family member getting beat on, not this particular incident)

All of you, or most of you, would do the same (atleast I hope)

Sorry, but these guys were cowards. I am not saying they should of went in there with fists flying. Maybe just try and charge the guy and tackle him. If one person would of acted, the others would of followed.

Did anyone see the news last week where a Chicago cop (off duty) beat up a woman bar tender? The cowards in this incident stood there and watched as well, while an innocent woman got beat on.

What is wrong with people? Are people that selfish?

that guy was pretty huge, I wouldn't have been much help

i wouldn't say indifference is the same as scared..those people just didn't give a crap

Man he didn't even fight back. Fights always bring out the racism in people, just look at those comments on youtube.

And I would not jump in a fight if I didn't know anyone involved. I try not to get involved in other people's business.

The thug sucker punched him when he was looking down and I think that first punch put him in a bit of shock and in a big daze. It was all over from there...

Kudos to the guy for sticking up for himself though (verbally)

Was'nt there a stool or chair in that restaurant to clock this guy with? I swear to God I would have taken a chair and talked some other guys into taking another one and clocked that guy as many times as I could. My blood boils when I see this too. Not only were there a lot of guys looking on, but many of the guys seemed huge too. There is power in numbers. If everyone jumped the black guy, there is no way he could have kept up what he was doing. People are *******s. that's why a small minority can take over a country or neighborhoods as the wimps stand by and let it happen instead of getting together to fight evil.

BTW...
Random attacks are so "chic" in Russia these days.

Funny. Nobody tries breaking up these fights either.

This video is just discusting, not because it was racist but the fact that those people watched a stranger or "FELLOW AMERICAN" get attacked didn't do anything. The guy could have died from internal bleeding in the head. That's what's wrong with this country right now, people fear each other and are selfish. I'm pretty sure noone helped because they "thought" the black guy had a gun and would beat them unconcious too. Regardless of the race of the guy I would have stepped in to help the guy on the ground, if the attacker continued I would have hurt him. The people could at least call the cops or try to get helped. The attacker should get locked up for life, he intentionally harmed the guy and probably intended to kill him or hurt him permanently and it's just sick that these kind of "hate crimes" happen daily.

This happened a longass time ago. The guy got 4 years in prison. Pretty sure the woman did a little stretch as well.

What charge did the woman get? And what was the charge against the guy?

True but what was the guy doing looking down in the first place anyway?

That's some messed up stuff. Unprovoked attacks on innoncent people. I hope this is not a representative of the Russian population. However, Russians do have a reputation for being a bit uncivilized and crazy.

Now I can see why the local Berlin population was shaking in their boots when the approaching "Red Army" was near during World War II.

Everytime someone says, "I'd have jumped in", someone follows up with saying "no, you wouldn't have". The truth is, there are people who wont just stand there and watch out there. Why is that so hard to believe? Because the only news you ever hear about is the guy who got beat down while 20 people just stood there and watched. You never hear about the couragious guy who jumped in and STOPPED the fight.

Let me tell you something. Back in high school, myself and a group of friends decided to go hang out in our "secret" spot and get high. Apparently, it wasn't so secret. A truck full of three other teenagers pulled up and one of them came down and started talking **** to one of the guys in our group. Suddenly, for no reason what-so-ever, he started beating the crap out of him. My friends just stood there and watched. We were all too stoned to do anything. The guy left after beating the kid down for almost five minutes (with his shoe!) and left saying, "If any of you say anything I'll beat your ass too". I vowed never to let anything like that happen around me, again. And I never have. Since that day, I began getting a reputation of the school bodyguard as I broke up atleast 10 fights a year (including a chick fight, which was sad, cause I wanted to see some shirts fly off).

Now that I'm older, I've been breaking up bar fights. So, yes, there are people out there that don't just stand there and watch. I can honestly say that I would have stopped that fight. I can't say I'd beat the other guys ass like a lot of people say, but I can say that I'd have tried to stop it.

On the other hand, you can understand the "white peoples" (there was an asian guy in there too) reacted. They didn't know what the hell was going on!
