Warning, this gets graphic and disturbing. [video=youtube;GHKFRWHopTg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHKFRWHopTg[/video] http://www.wayangtimes.com/chinese-man-attacked-store-over-ice-cream-cone.html Apparently he's claiming he was drunk, and apologized to the person. I know different cultures have different beliefs, and practices, but how can you not want to have been there and put the guy in a full nelson, or a grab both his arms from behind, pull them back, stick your knee on the middle of his back and jump forward? (This would put all your weight on the middle of his spine, as he fell towards the ground...basically, crushing his innards)
Wow, what the FUCK are those fucking workers and customers doing standing around like fucking idiots? I swear to god I would of shot that mother fucker if I saw that shit.
I don't think it's a cultural thing as it is a human thing. I see things happening in the states all the time. Names like Kitty Genovese come up to mind. In fact, I saw a fight between some Blazer-Rocket fans during Game 1 and most people just stood back watching. People are too afraid of intruding on someone else's personal problems that they forget their common virtues. That's just the way it is.
There is truth in that, usually it just takes 1 person. But it's also a cultural thing. Women are not seen as equals in some areas of the world (and even in some pockets of our own country).
There was a famous incident that occurred when I was in Japan. This man raped a woman on the train and no one came to her aid. I noticed there is more apathy or feelings of "not wanting to get involved" in Japan. It may be similar in other asian contries Link
bluefrog is right. Most asian countries just don't get involved. Call it passive or too scared, don't ask me. I'm a chinese kid born in SoCal, and even when I play basketball aggressively (I like to knock people if they knock me, on top of physical play) and I play against FOBs, they take everything so personally and call everything illegal cause of a little contact.
