Also, in situations like that people often do think about others, but it's not necessarily the person in danger. Imagine it was you on the bus and you thought of intervening. I would be willing to bet that one of your first thoughts would be about someone else, but it wouldn't be the boy getting cut up. Instead you would probably be thinking "What happens to my son if I don't survive this."

I read more about it this morning, and they said the passengers were stunned to hear blood curdling screaming coming from the boy, and that is when they all exited the bus.... after they exited three men went back into the bus to try to help and the crazy dude was sitting on top of the boy cutting off his head at that point....

Smoot, after thinking about this some more I think if my son and I were on the bus as passengers together and he wanted to jump in to help this kid (which I believe he would have) I probably would have tried to stop him because I wouldn’t want him to get hurt.

I find this whole story very sickening.... There are some seriously ill people in this world.
