CapitalKarate Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 has anyone heard about the mall security camera that caught a woman being kidnapped on tape? http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20041111164509990006 if you were there as a bystander, what would you have done?

MenteReligieuse Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 sadly need an AOL account to see the video. But MArtist or not...if you see someone getting attacked, it is moral duty as a citizen and human beings to do what you can do to help. If you think you have no chance to overpower the aggressor...screaming your lungs out for help might be enough to scare him away, anything you can do really.

White Warlock Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 It's always a tough call. I know my reaction would likely have been to charge in and do something, and possibly end up with a bullet in my noggin'. But, actions that would be smart, for the non-combatant, would be to collect as much information as possible (description of victim and assailant, license number, etc) possibly even jumping in your vehicle and tailing them while chatting on your cell to 911. The disturbing thing was that 'everyone' in that video just stood there and watched.

Shane Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Its hard to tell what people will do in the heat of the moment. You would be surprised at some peoples reactions while under stress.

Mischievousjoe Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 Unfortunately this seems to be the tendancy of people, to not react and just try not to get involved in this type of situation. There is a famous example of a women who was atacked twice right outside of her apartment building, stabbed and beaten and eventually died of her injuries in broad daylight. No one went to her aid. It's sad but true. "I once thought that life was a mixed bag, now I know it's just a bag of all" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumanTyphoon Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Man that's sick and sad...we need people to be able to stand up and do things instead of sit back and cower. If you take a crooked path and have to go through a cliff. Either hope there is a bridge, or learn to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beiner Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hate to tell you folks but on the whole its programmed into our psychi. I forot the psychological effect but it is based off of a study in enw york when a woman was raped and murder during rush hour down town and everyone stood around watching . 50 witnesses and not 1 person called the cops or tried to stop him, why? Because everyone there assusmed someoneelse was better suited to stop the situation adn therefore ignored it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
