Psyco Attacks Innocent Victim & Everyone Ignores?

There are laws about carrying knives. I don't know if its the same everywhere in the US, but if a knife is legal depending on the length in NJ. I used to carry a knife with me everywhere I went because, lets just say there were people who were actually out to get me. Its not that I did anything, but Bloods and Crips, what can I say? I lost my knife a while ago, but I always have something on me that I can hurt or even kill someone with. Did you know that, when properly used, you can kill someone extremely easily with a cotton swab?

When I read this article, I couldn't help but think of the first episode in Gantz, with the hobo on the tracks...

If I were to encounter such a scenario in a crowded location, I would most probably shout "Come on people, we need to help the victim!". I don't think I will offer any assistance without backup from others since the attacker is armed, while I am always weapon-less, not to mention my knowledge in self-defence skills and martial arts is sorely lacking.

I would definitely seek help from the authorities using my mobile phone, though it could be too late by the time they arrive.

Okay, now you got me wondering what type of stuff you carry around in your purse.

You could just batter them to death with a huge rubber dildo.

Lol, "Traslation @ Spoiler in Black text" made me laugh.

The thing is, it's a lot easier when you run things in your mind but seriously, things usually do not turn out the same. Your mind can betray you sometimes and in the real situtation it will usually go completely different from what you had imagined.

Hmmm...looks like he snapped. Most people can control themselves...such as myself. But once you snap things like that happen.

As for helping one in trouble. People will just crowd them thinking someone's going out to help...unless specifically told to help they won't move. It's a psychological thing.

I'm the type of person that would just do. Unless told not to do anything....

A knife huh? Hmmm so many kids.....just don't know how to use knives right. They swing it around like a fool hoping to slash you. If not...stab you with it.
Well if you carry around a knife...I suggest carrying a military type knife.....sharper than most and durable.

Question: What would you do if a psycho broke into your house?
For me it's simple, I keep a knife under my pillow and a blunt instrument down the side of my bed.

If some dude started attacking me in a violent rage with a hammer...

I'd eat his face off. Literally.

In a case where someone I care about gets hurt or killed, I'll hunt them down and cut him piece by piece.

When it comes down to it, going insane isn't hard, its more like having the sanity to keep it still.

If I saw some guy getting attacked I'd help out, then curse the shit out of people who are being retarded bystanders. Fucking pussies. Where did human evolution take such a turn?

It's easy to say that kind of stuff when you never been in that position. I can assure you, if you see a guy with a knife in a train, you're not to to rush in and attack him. You'll probably expect other person to do it. The problems is that other people are probably thinking the same thing. In the end, no one will do anything to stop the guy with the knife until it's too late.

That's very altruistic of you. Like I said before, I like to think I would help, but you can't know till the time comes. However, the odds of me helping go up if the victim is female or a child. Otherwise, in this nutty world we live in, how do we know the guy with the hammer isn't getting revenge on the guy he's hammering, because he raped his sister or something. Yes, ideally everyone would help and separate the attacker and victim and let the law sort it out, but we live in a less than ideal world =(. Too many variables!

I've got a katana within arm's length of my pillow. My brother was the most paranoid person you could ever meet. He had 2 machetes on either side of his bed, flails and knives hanging right above the bed, at least 7 knives under his pillow, and then there were all the homemade weapons that either he made or I made and he stole from me. I used to love making weapons. One of my favorites was the wrench on a rope. I can't tell you how many people I either knocked out or almost knocked out with that thing.

Missile type weapons helps when the assaulter tries to flee from the scene, simply rip his or her mobility off then u will have a living immobilize being at ur insanity disposal to ur melee weaponry. Have fun !

But, I don't understand how this diffusion works when you're right there, and can see that absolutely no one is attempting to help the victim. With Kitty Genovese, people were safe in their apartments, telling themselves that someone else would call. They heard the screams, but they didn't see the attack.

In this scenario, everyone was right there. The saw that no one tried to do anything to help the situation... It's hard to imagine that no one stepped up.

Gah, frustrating.
