Excellent! You make no valid point, but try to suggest that I'm too old to be right.

Mredskins, please post evidence of a decline in violence in the US since the 60's and liberalism and we'll discuss it.

I'll save you the effort, you can't.

Kids today, eh? Not good for much.

Matty, back on track? We all agree beheading is anti-social, some even agree that it's wrong. I'd just like to better understand why most people think it's OK not to try to step in.

I'm sure we can keep it civilized even though I'm being insulted.

I think there have been some good thoughts expressed here as to why people didn't step in. I don't think it's got anything to do with living in a PC world. It boils down to instincts and the fight or flight response to survival. And in the end what is the point of judging those that were on the bus? They witnessed pure evil that day and I'm sure plenty of them have second guessed themselves in the days following. I don't think there was any right or wrong decision made that day. If someone here would have choosen differently more power to you. I just don't see what the point is in second guessing what they did or didn't do.

Yeah, and I don't think there's any doubt we'd be talking about multiple killings if people had stepped in. Also, the kid never really stood a chance, he was 30 mins away from a shock trauma center and I'm pretty sure he was pretty much done after being stabbed once, so you're going to risk your life to save him from decapitating a corpse? That's pretty noble, but I think it would more than likely cause your death...

Exactly. We should also commend the people for keeping this guy on the bus until the police arrived.

From the moment this maniac decided to plunge a knife into this kid he never stood a chance. By the time someone could have realized what was going on and reacted he was probably already dead or very close to it.

Carry concealed weapon, I think

Still don't see where that would matter. The kid still would have been dead or very critical by the time someone could have shot this guy.

It would have been nice to drop the guy with a gun, but it still wouldn't have brought the kid back.

A gun wouldn't have helped here. As soon as you get stabbed with a 9-inch knife once, you're pretty much a goner. Let alone the multiple stabs this poor kid took. It may take a few minutes to bleed out, but that kid was as good as dead as soon as he let out his first yelp.

All a gun would have done would have been to achieve instant justice. But it wouldn't have prevented any deaths.

It may seem like a minor thing but it's why we have the lack of accountability we currently have, IMO.[/quote

Use violence to deter someone from using violence in their future. This is what we should teach our children? scratching head

Time to get out of your rocker old man, you are needed at the old folks home.

Well times have changed and back then we did not here about kids commetting all these crimes that theay are commetting today. Maybe that seems old school but it did seem to work and things have been going down hill ever sense kids have obtained all these rights that they now have.

Good parenting can correct mischievous kids. And I'm in favor of delivering a good spank to my young'n when she acts up.

But no amount of good parenting, spanking or not, can correct crazy. You can't do anything to somehow guide someone from not developing a serious chemical imbalance in the brain.

Seriously. Is there any other explanation for having a compulsion to cut up a living human being and eat them? Chemical imbalance, that's it. End of story. Parenting is irrelevant.
