Online, I saw a very short clip of a young white man protesting on a city corner on the abortion question. This pro-abortion advocate, in defense of his position, round house kicks the white woman both filming him and challenging him intellectually. She goes down calling for someone to call the police.
I have intervened in similar situations like this. My mother would have approved of the type of intervention he asked for. The sad fact is: now more than in the past women can get punched in public, and most will not intervene. The typical reaction would be recording it on a phone. "Who will protect the innocent?" when the old school of thought and practice leaves?
By the audio of this short clip it is clear there was no physical intervention. If it doesn't happen in the initial few seconds, it won't.... Taping an event like this is meaningless. There is nothing of substance to place upon the film clip! In others words: watchers have no power! They just stand there and watch! So, the pressing question stilled by indifference remains: "Who will protect the innocent?"
