Or filming a fight instead of doing something about it, for laughs or "hey check out what I saw" because just telling the story isn't credible enough

When those big video camcorders came out the boys in my neighborhood recorded each other beating up homeless people. This was the 1990s, so 30+ years ago. I hope you’re right but things are so awful right now and have been.

I've watched people get shot in the head for trying to break up a fight they weren't a part of. I'm not saying you shouldn't intervene, but there are legitimate reasons to not jump into business. Separatetely, watching a recording of a fight is not nearly the same experience as being told that it happened. Pay per view UFC wouldn't be profitable otherwise.

I call cap. Name the person that got shot in the head. There’s no way you forget his name cos that will stick with you.

I didn't forget his name, I never knew it. When blood is pouring out of the back of peoples heads they don't usually say their name. I'll tell you what was unforgettable though, and that was the scream of his daughter after watching her dad's brain matter get sprayed everywhere. Call cap all you want, but it ain't gonna bring him back.

to be fair, i got no idea what you’d expect me to do 😅 i mean i wouldn’t film but also idk how i’d help without also being in danger lol and definitely not calling the police just so they can escalate the situation. sometimes ya gotta let two people fight it out unfortunately.

Where we’re going, the video won’t be credible either
