yeah that's horrible to see. I know the majority of people who don't intervene do so out of fear in general, but it kinda makes me wonder what the % is who don't do so out of fear of our own legal system??? This last decade or so it's clearly been shown over the mainstream media that we as mere citizens (peasants) should just be the victim and don't fight back or intervene or we'll be the ones in jail.... me personally given that same situation that woman attacking the old lady would have been tackled and subdued at least long enough for the old lady to get away. after that the situation would likely become less clear..... let me prove a point here....take me for example, i'm a white male, late 20's, bald head and goatee. i normally wear jeans, t-shirts, and cowboy boots that happens to carry a gun or two depending on where i'm at. now most likely she would've tucked tail and got in the car and sped off, but what if she continues to attack me?? do you keep fighting with a woman? ( i was raised to never hit a woman so to begin with i'd already be fighting instincts ) what happens if the driver steps out of the car? what if they're armed? what if the driver is another woman? what if one or both attackers are of another race? disparity of numbers and the preconceived notion of gender along with race come into play big time here..... please don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to come off as sexist or racist, but what do you think popular opinion of me and how i reacted to a situation would be conceived today in our "changed" society? even though i shave my head for convenience, and it's a heck of a lot more comfortable for 10-12 months out the year. not to mention it saves a ton of money in haircuts! I was also raised and spend a lot of time outside the city so jeans and boots are the best suited for me. If you haven't guessed by now I've also been told i have quite a southern drawl as well. anyone who knows me would know that it would take a grieve threat to get a grieve response from me, but our legal system is so complex nowadays you almost have to pass the bar exam before you can really understand what could and is likely to happen in the million scenarios we could face everyday, throw in a liberal judge who hates guns (we've been seeing a lot of that now, especially on the federal level), or a crooked prosecutor who only care about their conviction % in court and I would likely be looking at some serious jail time for something that 20-30 years ago would be the expected thing to do when a person is in trouble and needs help......
