Worse than that…is the reality that had they intervened, they would likely be sued by the girl they touched especially if they touched her before she started kicking the girl on the ground.
They may not win in court, but that is what is filling up most court rooms today.
So, what kind of world do we live in? One filled with cowards and sheep.
Even though most here claim otherwise, it is more likely that even some of the guys who will respond to this very thread wouldn’t do shit if actually faced with this situation as they have never been in a situation where their life was truly on the line.[/quote]
But…Would they get sued for stopping the fight the moment it started? They really didn’t even have to touch(hurt) the crazy bitch, they just had to restrain her and separate the parties.
They work for the company/station anyway so its not like they just jumped in and randomly participated even though it would have been in the victim’s defense.
And someone pointed out the last few kicks to the head where the girl came back and stomped the victim out. I think they could have came to the girl’s aid when there was a brief pause to the assault.[/quote]
Someone as bold as that girl in the video is not going to politely allow some guard to simply restrain her. She kicked the girl because they weren’t cops…so that pretty much makes them the same as “mall security”. People this screwed up aren’t afraid of mall-cops.
That means the situation would go more as follows:
Guard holds back girl.
Girl says, “Get your fucking hands off me, bitch!”, punches the guard and goes back to kicking.
Later, girl tries to sue mall-cop for somehow twisting her arm so that she now can’t go to work.
The only solution is for that company to stop being a pussy and actually allow the guards to break up a fight like that along with all of the repercussions as a result.[/quote]
Its a fucked up world when defending a defenseless person can end up getting you sued because the attacker gets hurt, then again arnt we the country that lets burglars who fall off ladders while attempting to break into a person houses sue because they broke their arm or leg falling.Lets not forget the infamous mcdonalds coffee spill fiasco or a judge sueing a small family dry clearer for over 100mil because satisfaction guaranteed is a very serious claim and his 20$ suit pants had a stain on them.[/quote]
With all respect, you’re uninformed about the lawsuits you reference. Generally, our civil laws forbid you from setting a “trap”, even for a criminal. However, a suit based upon a burglar using a ladder, falling from the same, while attempting a break in on your property, would NOT survive.
The McDonalds case now become something of a fact mixed with urban legend. McDonald’s made a conscious business decision to keep its coffee SCALDING hot in spite of being aware of the danger it posed to customers, particularly drive thru customers. It wasn’t simply “hot coffee”, it was “scalding hot” coffee. They were aware of the danger, and made a decision to accept it. And they got “burned”.
Finally, I can tell you that what starts as “restraint” often ends up as assault or worse - I see it every single weekend at the club. Fact is, as I’ve said, the property owner contracted for X and that’s what they received.
