This is Psych 101
People are always afraid to "stand out" in a crowd. It's the NORMAL reaction just to be the innocent bystander.
This shit is all over the news. People at work were saying how terrible that nobody intervened but the dumb assholes in that situation would just stare and wouldn't do shit.
The security guards did their job. Their only response was to call the cops that's it. A security guard's job is just to control in/out access to the building, that's it. Those guys make like $15/ hour. That is not enough money to risk a black eye, a bitch's nails to your eyes/face...etc.
Just like the one lady in the green shirt interviewing said "I kept waiting there, waiting for someone to do
something. She thought that, so why would it be so wrong for anyone else to think the same?
Every one of those people in that crowd was hoping that someone else would step up and intervene.
I can see the logic in the security guards only being there to essentially detract people from events like this to occur. But I still do not agree with it. I dislike that in this day and age that people are getting beaten up, right in front of "security" officers that will do nothing about it when it's taking place before their very eyes. Instead, afraid of being sued or hurt themselves, they sit back and do nothing, instead of something. They know damn well that the police aren't going to arrive on scene fast enough.
The guards might as well change the back of their uniforms to say "spineless cowards." Security they are not offering, and the video proves it.
