Tell me he didn’t just close the door!

I saw that on Today and I just couldn’t believe my eyes. There were at least 2 people there, what the ever loving hell is the matter with people? I wonder if they could be charged with something? The fact that they didn’t intervene to help is disgusting enough, but to shut the door after the attacker sauntered away? I hope they are outed and publicly shamed and shunned for the rest of their days.

that was really disgusting to see. perfect example of chivarly is dead. i'm glad the doorman was suspended but i suspect the internet will serve up it's own social justice too.

ETA:  i just read that he was arrested!  good!  they say he was convicted of his mother's mother and was out on lifetime parole.  

If I ruled the world, they would be flogged.

I've never been in a physical fight, but I've confronted strangers acting abusive a couple of times. One of these days, I'm going to get the $#it beaten out of me because, if I saw something like this, it would be preferable to be beaten up than to know I did nothing. Headline will read, "Florida grandmother gets punched in the face for interfering during assault." 

I'm too p*$$ed for words.

This footage made my physically ill. I can understand being in shock and sort of paralyzed for a few moments, but honestly just standing there is abhorrent.

The suspension has to do with it being reviewed by their union. What utter BS!

I felt angrier at the two who watched than the obviously mentally disturbed guy who did this. Those two people had a chance to make a difference and stood by. I don't know how they sleep at night.

It was sickening on all levels.😡

Doesn’t sound like the property owner is being very cooperative

The attacks on Asians has been ongoing in New York City for weeks. I have several Asian friends in Manhattan who are afraid to leave their homes. Unfortunately the media hasn’t been covering this as much as some other stories.

I cannot even fathom how someone can watch someone be brutally attacked and do nothing. It is sickening.

Prior to Covid, my workplace was (still is and getting worse) in a sketchy neighborhood. Like you don’t walk anywhere outside alone - even in daylight. We have Security patrolling the area and building. One day there was a group of us taking a walk in the park. We heard a woman scream and sounds of her being assaulted. Our Security Patrol was patrolling the parking lot right by us. Several ran to the bridge to cross the river to stop the assault. Someone called 911 and another approached the Security officer who appeared to be very unconcerned. His response was, “It is the other side of the river from my jurisdiction. I patrol this side of the river and this property.” Needless to say, that went up the chain of command and the rules were changed to include seeing or hearing anything in the area, they are to assist.

I can certainly see this being outside their building and therefore outside their jurisdiction (for lack of a better word) but it boggles my mind to just stand there and watch and then close the door. Where is their humanity? Why wouldn’t you do something to stop it. Call 911, walk outside in a group and try to stop it, something! Just don’t stand there! After he left, go out and offer aid, for goodness sake. If it isn’t your jurisdiction, then change the rules.

I have mixed feelings about filming. I am so grateful there is the video of George Floyd being murdered. I think if there is a group, someone should film and others take action.
