I watched this too (albeit with subtitles on as Woody was making a racket on his decks)
Thought it was really interesting, and a good idea for a programme. Found it quite upsetting and I admit it actually made me well up, a few times actually
Thought the part where one of the people said something about ~ people hope that if they were in trouble someone would come to help them ~ was terribly sad
Its true, you would all like to think it but I think its probably a rarity these days unfortunately.
On one of the scenarios based on a bus, think it was the one about 10 onto 1 (with sticks and belts) ~ I suppose people would find it hard to wade into the middle of that, especially if they're the only one who pipes up, then it'd be 10 onto 2 no doubt :|
I think theres a lot of reluctance these days too because of the whole knife culture thing, whether that fear is overeggaxerated or not I dont know,but the fact is it does happen a lot! and I suppose people fear for their own lives, especially if they have kids or something. Its the 'what if..' factor. Trouble is, the poor sod on the floor may be someones mum or dad, and certainly someones child themselves
I thought the oldish couple who helped out the bloke did themselves proud, and I thought it was nice that they had the chance to meet up with the victim in nicer circumstances later on ):
Theres a lot of cnuts out there
but every decent person is worth a hundred of them
:alcohol:
Also, if the attackers can be so blatant and disregarding of the surroundings and who can see them, then it makes you wonder if they'd give a shit about turning on you too in broad daylight.
Really, really hard to say what you would do in the situation unless / until you're actually faced with it though
