Feldman VI, one of the articles said that the police even said that they are glad that the people on the bus acted as they did. This psychopath took a life, as he intended, and to be honest it didn't seem like there was much hope of stopping him at all, short of someone three seats away who is a well trained marksman shooting him in the face before he landed the third or fouth knife-slash to the neck, which obviously didn't happen.
Don't make yourself to be so righteous and stop embezzling your indignation. Its disrespectful and short-sighted, especially when this is such a tragedy that we shouldn't be talking it about so non-chalantly, and especially when someone else had just lost a brother or a son and everyone agrees that it was an isolated incident nobody could truthfully do anything about.
Man,
shut up. I see what you're saying, but don't pass me off as some sort of a self righteous douchebag because I wished that someone would have helped the guy. That's insulting and offensive to me. I admit that I was really angry back there and I was posting out of SHEER RAGE out of the situation, and now that I've calmed down I understand that everyone had to get off the buss (not that I even disagreed with that before), I'm just saying that I'm surprised and kinda angry that no one helped the guy out of sheer instinct.
Have you ever been in a fight? Have you ever broken up a fight or tried to shield someone from the angry blows of someone who is too drunk and too insane and is going ballistic? I don't think you'd be saying the sorts of things you are if you've ever been in a violent situation.
Not that I'm saying I'm a FIGHTIN' CHAMP (seriously, because I know some smart ass is going to go 'heh...mog is an street vet'), but I've been in about 15 or so fights that I can count off the top of my head since I was like, 9 or something at the earliest. Not that it may mean anything significant, but I spent more than half of my life in public housing (the slums, ghetto, bad part of the hood, whatever), and I've seen my share of gang fights, jumpings, fights, and even shootings. I've been in the midst of it before, it's not like I'm just talking out of my ass here!
