I think you're mixing "discussing a specific event" with the drivel you just typed. What large assumptions are being made? I mean, the damn thing was caught on video. Discussing facts about what WASN'T done by anybody there is not "making large assumptions and treating a very particular situation as though it's representative of every other similar situation"...

There are a lot of other instances of this. Remember that lady that was passed out in the middle of the road and a security camera caught dozens of cars swerving to avoid her, and nobody stopping to help?

How about this little study: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2012/12 ... udy-found/

You may not want to believe it, but people are assholes by and large when they think they can get away with it, and there's a lot of evidence that backs my "assumption", as you can see in the link I just posted. Let's not forget this list of psychological experiments that further demonstrates the point, too.

Stop thinking people are inherently good, kind, altruistic souls and maybe you won't disagree with me on this point so much. Bottom line is, people were all acting like a bunch of damsels in distress against a rowdy homeless guy who likely had mental problems, and nobody did anything about it besides ask others to take care of it for them. Can't dust up those fingers that have thousands of pounds of genius legal briefs to write for the next 5 decades, or risk actually doing anything. I almost wish he HAD been dangerous, just to prove a point. The point is, until you know whether someone is dangerous or not, you should assume they are if their behavior is suspicious; and I'd call a homeless man eating an ice cream cone wandering into a basement classroom at a university trying to flip over tables and chairs "suspicious."
