[quote=Anonymous]I was once sitting in the window of a busy restaurant/bar full of foreign expats in downtown Tokyo, in one the the buzziest, ritziest nightlife areas.  On a Friday night around 10pm, I sat sipping my cocktail and witnessed two men hold a guy by the arms while a third guy repeatedly ran up to him and brutally punched and kicked him.  This happened in the middle of the sidewalk with literally hundreds of people walking by and the street jammed packed with vehicles.  They were right in the middle of the sidewalk.  The crowds walking  by just flowed around, giving wide berth, looking away.  I sat and watched it all frozen in disbelief because I did not know what to do.  No one did a thing.  The guys had tattoos.  Any logical person would have therefore concluded that they were yakuza (Japanese gangsters) and so certainly would not have wanted to go anywhere near that.  I have intervened in other types of situations but having experienced this I have some perspective.[/quote]
