[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]. . . ➕ tragic occurrence! 😱 I didn’t know that no one offered to help this poor young woman nor come to her aid at all!!? My best guess is that probably other people were afraid that the murderer w/the pocketknife would turn on them if they intervened?[/quote] Someone DID intervene, when a homeless man was yelling threats at people on a subway car, in New York City. A Good Samaritan intervened to restrain the homeless, violent, mentally ill man, and protect all the innocent, traumatized victims on that train car. NYC prosecuted the hero. Ruined his life. And they publicized it, too. Think about the message NYC sent with their actions. Think about whose side the progressive jurisdictions are on (hint: it’s not the side of innocent passengers on public transpo).[/quote] The poor guy - a former United States marine who was honorably discharged, is STILL being sued by the father - a “father” , who refused to house his own violent son or get his son the mental help he so desperately, obviously, needed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Jordan_Neely[/quote] There's a huge difference between doing nothing- even after the assailant moved away- and keeping someone in a chokehold until they die. I think I would have voted to acquit Penny, too, but that was an exceptional case that still demonstrated that people who intervene in those situations will be afforded broad leeway. Without cases that demonstrate the extremes it might be hard to know where the line is. That Daniel Penny could do what he did and still be acquitted should give people a very high degree of confidence that it is safe to act in those situations in good faith.[/quote] You don’t deserve it. Look what you did to Penny after he stood up to do the right thing. He was dragged through the mud of your legal system which is designed to protect these monkeys. Every last one of you deserves to bleed to death and die in horror like this girl. [/quote] He made a horrible mistake with grave mistakes. I don't think there was malicious intent, but I do think there strong reasons to think he should have understood the grave risks of his actions. Strong enough that the people had a right to adjudicate his guilt. If you're not capable of understanding why that case reflects the very edge of acceptable and appropriate behavior, then I really don't want you intervening in public. You're far more likely to do harm than good. That's how we ended up with Kent State, and what we're risking now with the National Guard and ICE.[/quote]
