That's certainly a dangerous game to play, isn't it?

 

[TheFireArmorer]

The guy doing the strangling would at the very least had a few guns on him if he'd done that here. I mean the people in the video either ran away in fear or were basically grasping at straws trying to get this dude to stop. And in all honesty, if this were a real situation, I don't think any of them could have stopped it.

Next question, if someone would have shot/killed him, would they be charged?

 

[mwagner]

I wouldn't have even tried that for the fear of being shot.

No way....


.................

Weird social experiment for sure. One ******* was even standing there taking a video with his phone. Not sure what my first reaction would be... but I know I wouldn't remain a bystander.

 

[DanVoils]

I certainly would have intervened. One of these days some "reality pranking" bull**** show is going to get someone killed. If you've seen the video with the elevator where the little girl pops out like a ghost and the guys knocks her out you know what I mean. It's only a matter of time.

 

[ultra...good]

Can you charge someone with saving another persons life?

In todays climate, depending on where you are......................................................

Boy, some crazy reactions and non-actions there. Beating the perp on the head with a bouquet of flowers? Taking video and saying stop it? Trying to wrestle the garrot away from the victim's neck? Wrong end of a fire estinguisher?

My mindset, if not carrying, would have been a violent swift kick or heel plant on the perp's temple, face, neck, or head.

 

[danielson]

why would you shoot him? If he saw you pull a gun he would probably throw his hands up, not become a threat to you...

I honestly dont know if I would pull my gun or just kick him in the face... I mean his hands were occupied, and at the second I saw him, posed NO threat to me.

I really dont know... I dont think anyone does. Unless they've been in a high stress situation.

 

[bloodandgutsmurphy]

I would have done anything possible to save that guy

 

[HoughMade]

#1 Bad Idea....I'm afraid, I'd have killed him.

#2 I prefer to focus on the positives- there were a lot of people who tried to do something.

 

[CSK22]

Hahaha the fire extinguisher was awesome

 

[drysdaleg]

Thats crazy, i cant believe some of the people just walking away.

 

[Bunnykid68]

Someone would be hurt or dead

Sad that the lady with the flowers seemed to try the hardest

 

[strokin7.3]

I wouldn't have shot him right off the get go but he would have had a boot to the face and then a gun drawn on him.

 

[Valvestate]

If it's real it's sad. Would have intervened and hit the call/emergency stop on the elevator to alert building staff.

 

[Jeremy1066]

Even though your life was not in immediate danger, it is justifiable to save someone else's life.

 

[griffin]

Hahaha the fire extinguisher was awesome

No it wasn't. The extinguisher guy should have used it to hit the bad guy over the head as hard as he could.

Too bad the "actor" didn't get shot.

If I walked in on that Mr. BG would have a Chinese knife sticking out of his back. I see these videos all the time and someone is going to die because of it.
