I wasn't really trying to dispell anything you said, I was just pointing out that the guy probably had street smarts and could tell that these people weren't about to do anything- they're cowards.

Further marginalizing him just means that while we don't have to see his ugly face for the next 3 years, when he gets out, instead of punching you, he will slit your throat for your wallet. I don't think any of us profits from that.

Or maybe he was a fairly intelligent (but aggressive) guy who correctly assessed the situation and saw a bunch of white guys who'd rather piss their pants and eat pizza than help the guy getting beat. So he was free to do what he wanted. He just didn't expect a camera to be there.
Guess you missed the part that said the puncher was on probation already.
So the chances of him being just a big dumbass are better than the scenario you mentioned.

Personally: I wouldn't have let him continue to beat the guy after he hit the ground. Seems to me the guy was pretty much out on his feet after the first punch.

I absolutely, without hesitation, would have pulled the fat dude off of him. If that led to me having to beat his ass in the process, so be it.
Either way, no way would I have just let him beat the guy on the ground.

I'm curious how many of these types of incidents you've seen in your life.

I've been *involved* in a situation like this before. And I can't say that I was the hero, because I was the one getting sucker punched. All I heard was "pinggggggggggg" (the sound of your skull getting hit hard and your ears ringing). When you're in that position you can't do much because you're barely conscious.[/quote]

Did a black guy rush to your rescue, or did a bunch of white guys stand around like pvssies?

I won't tell you to google Milgram or the notion of audience factors, in that case. I already TOLD you WHY. It is simply in human nature.

You realize that "human psychology" is also why we dose the hell out of everyone in our society with meds right?
Not happy? Take a pill!
Cant relax? Take a pill!
Cant sleep? Take a pill!
You are thinking of psychiatry

Maybe I deny your human psychology as crap because all it does is serve to weaken the human race ya think? Thanks to that "prominent human psychology" field we are now all victims. Dont worry though, human psychology also promotes the fact its not YOUR fault your stupid, so you can rest easy knowing that, once again, your a victim and should be held blameless.

You are bordering on incoherence. Apparently you forgot to take *your* pills. Unlike the rest of the posters here, I *don't* think you are a geeky kid hiding behind the internet; I suspect you are an asshole IRL too.

Do what you must to justify your own spineless existence. Really, its fine by me. You blend in with al the other sheeple I see everyday bleating out.
If YOU wouldnt have "manned up" and helped the poor guy THATS FINE. No one else did either, so you'd blend right in and go home in the evening and still feel good about yourself because you can cover up your scared inabilities to act by using human behavior research.
Doesnt matter what you cal it though, at the end of the day your still just a scared sheeple like the rest, bleating our your existance in fear.
But as I said, thats fine.

That's basically what mantisfistmonk was saying too. The problem is that you seem to believe that it is a conscious choice, since you don't believe in psychology. You also believe you are immune, which is symptomatic of methamphetamine abuse or psychopathology.

I find it highly unlikely that the victim said "Honey, our pizza will be delayed because a woman has bypassed the queue for preferential service" - most likely he loudly said something that he wanted her to deliberately overhear - not realizing that her acquaintance was just outside the door.
Likely. If you're going to do something like that (bitch someone out in public), you better be prepared to face consequences. No, he didn't ask to get hit in the face 7 times, but that's why people don't get involved in confrontation in the first place.

You don't even know what you're saying man, how can you possibly begin to try to understand what I'm trying to say? Get a grip.

One of your main arguements was that the problem lies in "human psychology" and it's out of control drug prescribing.

That doesn't even exist. Psychologists have never been allowed to prescribe drugs. Not only that you quoted "human psychology" like you know what your talking about. Like you have some higher understanding of the term.

Well let me let you in on a little secret, I have no idea what your trying to do here, or why your making things up to augment your arguement, but I'll let you continue on without me.

Nah, the black guy was rushing to whip my ass. But yeah, the white guys did stand around like pvssies. Ironically the guy later became a friend of mine, while I stopped hanging around the deadbeats after that. Wasn't high school cool?

"Another hypothesis is something called the Diffusion of Responsibility. This is simply a decrease in the feeling of personal responsibility one feels when in the presence of many other people."

In other words, people are scared and wont take responsibilty for themselves!!
DUR! What have I been saying?? People are pussies, and dont take responsibility.

Gee, looks like YOUR link supported what I'VE been saying. Ironic isnt it.

How exactly did you draw the link from diffusion of responsibility to fear????

add: how did irony play any part in the argument?

I'd love to find out who taught you your reasoning ability.

How does being brave enough to break up a senseless beatdown equal being ignorant thugs? I'm saying that most white people are cowardly and would rather watch an unjust beatdown than do something about it. Just like we saw in this video.

From www.dictionary.com
rac·ism
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Do you see any correlation between the bolded portion of your quote, and that definition?

If you want to point out that my statement was racist against white people, go ahead, I don't care. The race card doesn't work on me, cracker.

I think that 99.9% of people would not jump in and take on this monster. The guy is huge, there would just be more people on the floor. On the other hand, if the SEVEN people watching would've ALL jumped this bastard then they could've taken him easily.

I'm pretty big myself and still wouldn't have tried to fight the guy (that was some sick punching...but the guy was unprepared, too). BUT someone should have grabbed something as a weapon. I don't care how big and stupid the scumbag guy was--anyone will become incapacitated if you hit them with something decent.

I think it's interesting how different people react to the same situation. Watch a video sometime of something bad happening. You'll see that some people instantly take action, while others freeze motionless. It could be a healthy 27 year old guy, and there's some people out there that just can't move when they get scared.

You're going to probably laugh at this one.

I was walking on a bike trail with a couple of friends of mine when out of nowhere something struck my head hard and made it bleed. I thought someone hit me with a rock. I took off and later found out that it was a neighborhood kid that plucked me in the head with a BB gun. So a couple days later we went over there to confront him, I brought my "trusty" friends as backup, and when I calmly asked him why he shot me he sucker punched me while my friends looked on and did nothing. It's 3 on 1 and the other 2 couldn't even lift a finger help out when I went down.

But since we were still young we didn't stay mad for long, and eventually we became friends. The other guys though I stopped hanging out with, because who wants gutless cowards as friends?

This incident illustrates the truth that there are black folks, and then there are awesome people. The two in the video are awesome people, and should be dragged out into the street and put down like rabid dogs.

Ban me if you want, call me racist if you want, but if you can't see the truth in the above statement, then you are just another P.C. puppet pussy.

And so you stereotype white people because of this?

I always thought that Chris Rock skit was interesting, and to hear his take on it and various audiences' reactions.

It doesn't matter what race people are, as you'll find sh!tbags in any bunch.
