It's seeing things like this that make me wonder just exactly how trained we are. I mean, we all say we would do something about what was going on there, but how many of us really would? We've been conditioned not to take action -- just let the bad man have his way and it'll all be over soon enough. And like someone mentioned a few posts up, you might get in trouble for trying to stop that peice of shit and end up in some deep shit over doing the right thing. Inaction is safe.
I almost believe that we are complacent and conditioned enough to accept a police state.
Imagine that instead of a large ex-con coming in and beating the hell out of that guy, it's a group of secret police coming to take him away. The other people there would, again, stand by and do nothing.
We're all fucking sheep. I think 90% of us would play it safe as well. It's so disgusting to watch that happen, at least to me, because I can imagine doing the same exact thing. I'm part of this crazy, fucked up system and there's nothing I can do about that.
I hope that the guy on the cellphone makes a fast recovery and the asshole couple get what they deserve too. I just don't see it happening, though. Our sense of justice is twisted.
