The entries here are troubling. I see almost no one willing to help a helpless individual. I see excuses ,rationalizations, fear and let me say it, cowardice.

I could go on but I will leave it there.

Let me end with of course I would have interceded, no question, no rationalization. It was a human being that needed help from the evil that was attacking him. He could have easily died.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing- Edmund Burke.

Evil triumphed that day gentlemen as there were no good men there willing to do anything.

So many factors come into play in this situation and unless you're a young trained fighter or someone on the same martial arts level as IP Man you can't call those who won't get involved for their own safety a coward. Also the legal aspect and the huge financial cost of it as well.

If you do get involved and it gets to the point you're forced to pull your weapon and use it against unarmed black kids...you will be on national news with BLM calling for your head. Be prepared to get yourself and family out of town and hide for months on end.

Your best hope is you get involved and they back-off. What if they don't? You prepare to take a beating or are you willing to kill and pray they don't take your weapon from you? Whatever you do, I pray the Lord is with you.

TAM, I should've added that nobody wins when you spray OC in a confined area. You and everyone else will get a dose, I know I did everytime we had to use it. I've been exposed to it enough I can fight through it. Most people will hit the ground gasping for air when exposed to O.C. It's a great tool that's affordable and legal for all to carry. I carry that along with my firearm when I walk my dog.

Perfect job for OC spray as it diffused jail fights with multiple inmates involved. If you were to pull your firearm be ready to use it. A gang like that would continue to provoke you and you may have to shoot a couple before the rest take the hint.

If it was me...call 911 and stand fast ready to draw if they threatened me or my family's safety.
