Shooting? Stabbing? Hell, I would have been impressed if somebody had tried to put him a bear hug or kick out one of his knees.

the urban theme of 'minding your own business' is a direct result of the social indoctrination of 'non-aggression' and anti self-defense. The mindset of not taking the law in to your own hands, that the police are there to protect you. A tragedy and travesty of society, we've become.

Hey, don't make me count the single digit exceptions to the thousand person rule.

...

Seems like everybody is so worried about crime control and gun laws these days... they fail to see how they've really worked wonders in two social programs... in their pro-apathy and anti-guts movements.

...

Oh, how we sit idly by... 'cuz, ya know, somebody else will do something.

...

I wish I could run an experiment using actors to see how prevalent the "right-here-too-much" factor is among people these days.
