If it was on camera, the people who were to attack the theif would have been sued themselves. Thats the brilliance of the justice system - even the criminals can get their would-be preventers put behind bars.Vilham wrote:

as to the OP, they probably didnt want to be sued by the robber or they were pussy's.
But it happened in America not here. If i remember right, stuff like that only happens in this country (UK). And usually over there the criminal is dead via bullet wounds before they get the chance to sue.Snake wrote:

The entire system is totally fucked up.
I would have jumped in. But you are correct about a lawsuit, which is why I do not own a gun, because I would have shot his ass.Vilham wrote:

Dude, I've seen civilians help cops out on TV. A big ass dude started beating the piss out of someone assaulting a cop. He didn't get sued.Snake wrote:

You don't even need to stab the dude, all you need to do is punch him so that he leaves the old dude alone and comes after you. Then you can run away, stab him in the face, whatever.mKmalfunction wrote:

Someone could've helped this man, but they just didn't have the courage. I'm by no means a bad ass, and I've walked away from fights, but I'd like to think I would've helped this guy by jamming my pocket knife into the perps arm or leg or something.

punching an elderly person *who is obviously much more frail than your average person* that hard and that many times SHOULD be considered attempted murder. thats rediculous...the guy couldnt even fight back if he tried.jonsimon wrote:
Lol "He could have killed me, he should have been charged for attempted murder." Taking it a little to far there, it isn't attempted murder unless it is intended, the motive was obviously the car.
Well it is a debate section and an online forum, so I will give my personal opinion, hence the point of it. Don't like it? Go talk about Wake Island and noob tubes then.Vernedead wrote:
it takes a brave person to intervene, but it takes an even braver person to slander those that didn't over the internet.

agreed but it takes not just the morality to understand that you should act, but the bravery to act on what is obviously the correct decision.ghettoperson wrote:
I wouldn't say it'd take a brave person to intervene, it'd take a person with some morals to intervene. However scared you are, the least you could do is get the police, or throw stuff at him till he leaves the guy alone.
So you are calling my opinion worthless? Way to slander someone over the internet.Vernedead wrote:
