What would you do if you walked into a murder in progress?
Interesting responses. Kudos to the women who thrashed him with flowers and the bag and the one that tried to pull the guy out.

Re: What would you do?
omg the amount of people that just walked away, although in all honesty we'd all like to say we would jump in, but you dn't know if the attack would then focus on you????
I think i'd yell at the assailent and call the police

I'm with the guy at the end snapping it on his phone. The red tops pay good money for that sort of stuff. You know the old saying "If it bleeds it leads"...

That "experiment" must have wasted police time from the inevitable phone calls.

Very interesting experiment. It would depend on whether you regard it as attempting murder or a fight. Kudos the people who got involved.

Re: What would you do?
I wonder where this was filmed?
Can you imagine this being filmed in a state where concealed carry laws are ok. Whip out that 9mm Glock or Sig Sauer and the experiment has a different outcome.

Never thought of that but it could turn out like a Quentin Tarantino film.

Kudos to the guy with the fire extinguisher. The poor 'victim' must be thinking WTF can my day get any worse?

Re: What would you do?
Has anyone ever intervened in a fight? I tried to stop someone thumping his girlfriend and was soundly thumped too. That did prompt others to help though, it seems you can thump your gf but not someone else.
