    Along w/ the punishment for the person giving the beating, I would be all for pubicising the names & pics of those bystanders & say, 'These ppl did nothing but watch while a mother was attacked in front of her toddler.' A little public shaming of these yellow-bellies might go a ways toward reversing this trend of 'Oh sweeeeet! Bitch gettin Žer azz WHIPPED! Here, lemme just grab mah phone, this'll be tha SHIT on Utube…!'

    I don't really blame anyone for not jumping into the middle of it but they could have called the cops. They obviously had phones. What a bunch of shitbags.

    Jeez, someone could have at least grabbed the kid when the pyscho started threatening to beat him too.

    I don't see anyone in the video larger than the woman, most of them seem young. I cannot honestly blame them as it is often the intervening party that is injured. As a man, what am I to do? I lay out that woman and I am going to jail, no question, and I have doubts as to how I would personally fare against her.

    Probably the best thing would be to stand back and hurl insults at the attacker, whip out the C word and see how quickly her attention is focused on you and run like hell.

    Oh, I remember seeing some program where they mentioned a good way to intervene without intervening is to just yell, "Its the COPS!" Most lowlifes will light out without looking back

    This happened around my neck of the woods. I'm not shocked in the least.

    Yup. If I, as a man, intervene against a female aggressor, I now have to contend with:
    • White knights who didn't see the start of the fight rushing in to beat my ass.
    • Cops who will arrest me. Guaranteed.
    • If they're a couple, the victim could very easily turn on me if I go after the attacker (this happens to police officers in domestic violence calls when the move to arrest the attacker).
    • All the attacker has to do is say to the cops "this guy sexually assaulted me" and now I'm going to jail for a very long time. In our society I'll be considered guilty before I even set foot in the courtroom.


    No way in hell I'd get involved. I'd be flushing my life away if I did.

    Personally I don't like to judge people whose situation I haven't been in so I can't completely blame the bystanders either. I would probably be afraid for my own safety and/or too stunned to move because what the fuck is going on? I DO think someone should have grabbed the kid - Jesus Christ.

    Mostly I thought the beating itself was horrifying. The aggressor was pissed over some gossip at the McDonalds where they worked. Poor woman and her little guy

    To intervene is a tough call but I'm stupid that way and I probably would end up getting my own ass kicked. As to humanity, there are 7 billion of us on this planet so some asshole is bound to act out at some point.

    And the kicker is I guess the attacker did lost her job anyway or perhaps she had a lot of vacation time built up!

    not physically intervening when two women are going at it is one thing ( as long as you call the cops) maybe, but to not even try and get the kid out of that situation, and just laugh and hold your phones up like its some free entertainment?
    it really annoys me when all these stories of people being killed because of abuse, and then the neighbors/passer-berys like to chime in and say " oh yeah, i heard the screams!" , sure you like talking to the cameras after its all over, but where were you when you saw/heard abuse? really fucking gets to me

    You've raised some good points which I have not considered before. I remember years ago reading about a robber trying to pull away a woman's purse. A UC Berkeley student tried to help the woman by yelling at the man to stop. This merely redirected the robber's attention to the student who was then beat senselessly with a tire iron or crow bar, resulting in the student suffering from massive brain injuries and amnesia. Unfortunately, the student had to drop out of Berkeley due to his brain injuries.

    I'm sorry, but a couple of guys could've broken that up.
    All someone had to do was call the cops asap and grab that toddler quick. Gees!

    I've broken up several catfights, but it's usually a very, very risky thing to do. They will attack you in turn, one or both; you will get arrested; some asshole will walk up & think YOU are the aggressor& attack you in turn, etc.

    However this was pretty unusual. I think I would have to step in. The way tp do it is t literally pick them up & carry them away from the fight (or beatong in this case). Get them from behind & there's usually not much they can do even if they are crazy.

    The problem is after you put them down again lol.

    I would have called the cops and have in these situations. I wouldn't have gotten involved because either I would have gotten beaten or arrested. However I wouldn't have taped it.

    Seconding that shouting "Fuck, it's the Five-0" could have broken that up. And getting that little boy out of danger, bless hus brave little heart.

    I also wouldn't have physically stepped in, but I'd have been on the phone with the police, instead laughing about It or recording it for fucking You Tube.

    Most would rather not receive posthumous honors, but it is nice that they have such a thing:

    Have you not heard of

    On the other hand if you intervene, by the time police arrive (if ever) you could be perceived as the attacker and be prosecuted.
