Well "back in the day" a fight was a fight, not attempted murder. There were rarely weapons used and you fought to win, not to main or kill. Now people whip out a gun 'cause someone dissed 'im.

They are security guards. That is their job title, not quite in their job description. Their bright yellow vests make old, almost blind people feel protected.

Everyone keeps talking about humanity and blaming these two guys for not doing anything. The average person knows that security can't do shit 9 out of 10 times in the first place. What about the rest of the people standing around that should have been upset at this whole scene who had little to no liability?

It is hard to watch no one doing anything, but not hard to believe.

And people wonder why I love living in the middle of nowhere.

That's why I said I blame everyone that didn't act, equally. Every single person that wasn't paralyzed from the waist down, saw what was happening, and didn't act....deserves to die a slow painful death in front of their families.

Their families will then also be executed for not raising or mentoring them better...but those executions will be more humane.

Yes, I think someone sure as fuck should have stepped in, but the reality is, it isnt their job. They are not officers, they have no special training, they get a vest and flashlight, and no gun.

It seems you guys have no idea what a security guards job is. Its not to break up fights. They arent cops or bouncers. They are there to patrol and report. Thats it. Most security companies strictly forbid getting involved in violence.

This. All of it. Most of them talk a major tough game but when it comes down to it they are weenies.

Having had to hire, fire and utilize security guards at my last job, Apoc is right on the money.

As good citizens, someone should have stepped in to help, there's no denying that.

But having been the person to fire these kinda guys for some bullshit they pull on a regular basis (like following someone around inappropriately, sexually harassing clients, telling people they are calling the cops because they look suspicious, etc), you can bet they were thinking of not getting fired, doing as they are told and continuing to bring home that meager paycheck to the wife and 3 or more kids. The moment these guys went outside of their job duty, on camera, they'd have lost their job to the next sad guy who was willing to work a shitty job with shitty pay.

It doesnt excuse no one helping, but try and look at it from their POV before crucifying them. Most of us still have decent jobs, our homes, and our families and arent in the kind of straights many members of society are in right now through no fault of their own.

Generally, the people who go for these types of jobs, think it gives them power that theyve always craved, and never had. And because they are terrified of authority, they think others are too, and try to intimidate them with their cool blue suit/vest. When shit really hits the fan, they turn into the little bitches they always were.

Fucking 8$ guards...

I think this is all of our fault. If we hadn't picked on kids in high school, we wouldn't have such power tripping douche bag security guards.


Seriously, I probably wouldn't have done anything while they were both standing up fighting, once the first girl was down and getting kicked I may have stepped in the middle.

Doesn't really surprise me in the slightest. We sue the crap out of everyone. We finally have people do what is required legally and then that pisses us off as well. Welcome to what America has become and it's our own fault.

Maybe so, but you know what? Fuck all that.

If everybody decided to just "mind their own business" or "not get involved", this would be one shitty fucking world to live on.

I saved a guys life once. Long story, the CF people have heard it before, so here's the short version:

Ginormis crazy fucker, with a BFK, vs. me with a crappy mop handle. Lots of blood, one almost dead guy, cops finally showed up, happy ending.

I didn't intervene because I wanted to be a hero. I did it because I couldn't live with myself, if I just stood back and did nothing. I'm not buying the, "Maybe they were thinking about getting sued" bullshit, because that's the kind of rationalization you think of after the adrenalin has worn off.

Three security guards on the platform, and not one of them thought to step in? Sorry, but that's not job/lawsuit fear, that's just plain old fashioned being a lazy fucking cunt stick.

Wait a minute...
What town are you from where cops give out happy endings?

You can't even get one around here anymore because they raided all the massage parlors and all you need to do is get pulled over (no pun intended).
