How could you stand there and not do anything?
I'm glad some did at the end.
Fucking cowards. Sorry for the F bomb but it really bothers me.

    after watching the video, who is the one in trouble cos they both seem to be swinging that bat about and look quite happy sorting it out for themselves. I would have just filmed it on my phone for police evidence like the other person, i aint getting hit with a bat to help somebody i dont know, unless its a woman in danger and even then i dunno......

    The big guy tried to walk away without paying. The little cab driver grabbed the bat to stop him, which he should have. I hate to see people who think they can walk around doing what ever they want

    I dont agree with that at all. You dont threaten someone with a bat over a twenty dollar cab fare.

    youd be wise to stay away, people get sued for that kind of thing all the time

    pick up the phone call the cops, an ambulance but dont get involved

    i would have done absolutely fuck all... no way am i getting hit on the face with a broom handle because some guy didnt cough up $8 for a cab.. fuck that.. one of them could have had a gun or anything.

    if that makes me a coward then so be it, but any police officers who maybe post on here will tell you that you really shouldnt get involved in incidents like that... and if you hit the guy or something then you could be liable for assault charges.

    as SuperVedder just said.. if it was a woman getting robbed or a guy hitting a young kid i'd step in and demolish them but some big fucker playing Kendo with Danny De vito in a Taxi... not my problem :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    exactly.

    i'm not taking a fist or a bat to the face over a fare that some dead beat does not want to pay.

    The guy is 5ft nothing and on the ground getting kicked by a guy who is 6'4.
    How could you not help him? I guess its just me but I could not just sit there and watch.

    Hey, it was the cabbie's choice to whip out the bat. He could've just followed the guy and yelled for a cop.

    No way I'd jump in the middle of that garbage and risk getting hurt. That doesn't make me a coward at all. If one of the fighters was defenseless, THEN I'd jump in if I thought he could be seriously injured. But until then, forget it.

    Perhaps i'm a coward but this is not as black and white to me.

    Maybe i'm walking by and i don't knwo what happened. Maybe i grab the guy and the guy on the ground has time to get a gun in his car or on him and decides in a rage to shoot the guy i'm holding and shoots me instead and i die.

    I would like to just stop the fight but sometimes it seems it is not that easy.

    Worse yet i end up throwing the guy around unintentially he lands on his head and dies. I'm getting sued by his mother or wife for unintentional manslaughter or some crap like that.

    I didn't watch the video, but I believe that in general people don't help others as much as they used to for fear of a lawsuit.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    Any violence sickens me to the pit of my stomach.I would not have tried to break them up as I wouldnt want to become a victim of the brawl but I would have definately gone for help.It sickens me that so many people just walked on by.

    Perhaps the cabbie smelt exceptionally bad ......and the passenger felt justified in skipping the fare? :)

    They've passed laws recently about that. Good Samaritan Shield law, or something to that effect. Now if you give someone CPR and break a rib, the ingrate can't sue you.

    Idaho, and we never apologize for anything. I was under the impression your state constitution made it mandatory to throw at least 3 f-bombs into any sentence regardless of length...

    I would have stepped in...and I am a mostly girl. but there is nothing worse than seeing a big dude fucksnapping a little guy.

    I don't care what it was about. i do care about the idea that some big dude is beating shit out of a small guy. mismatched...bleck.

    *of course if both parties LIKE being fucksnapped...well, hell let me bring the popcorn!*

    by the way. New York is way too crowded and full of buildings for me to understand...it made me claustrophobic just to see it. :eek:
