What would you do in this situation?

This country needs a cleansing. I don’t know how, when, or anything else…but it’s needed.

Not that I disagree with your point but dude there is a thread on this board and 5 on PT. It’s awful and we get it

The real answer is that most don’t have the slightest clue what they’d do in such a situation.

We’d all like to think we’d step and be the hero and confront the guy but the fact is most of us would just sit there like pussies. We’d hide and runaway and if we’re decent we’d call 911 for the poor girl.

I’d like to think I’d stand up and and kill that guy with my bare hands as much as the next guy. But the fact is, that just doesn’t happen. Most people run and hide and will justify by saying “I have my only family to live for.” But it’s that exact thought that makes men cowards. And most of us are cowards.

At the very least I would

1. Call 911 immediately letting them know the train's next stop

2. Try to alert the conductor (if there is one)

3. Attempt to find a medical professional on the train

4. Help the victim depart the train at the very next stop and wait with her until emergency services arrived at the station

That's what you'd imagine you'd do, but the shock of seeing unexpected situations is beyond what you're imaging. I've watched multiple situations that required immediate attention (a dude face planting in ATL, a five year old being on the lap of a chick driving an F150, etc) and because it's so discordant with what your brain thinks is going to happen in life, you freeze. And I was trained not to freeze, but you're in an airport and worried about your rental in Newark, it's a different mindset.

No plan survives first contact with the enemy. You honestly will not understand, for way more seconds than you expect, what the hell is going on when things are so discordant with normal behavior.

When did they realize what happened? B/c it is actually not obvious from her immediate reaction, especially if you were not paying attentiom I am saying this from the visual only. I don't know what sounds the victim made

Bingo!
The video, while infuriating, is also really weird because it happens so fast and the girl’s reaction doesn’t immediately give off “I’ve been stabbed” vibes. People are minding their business and not really paying attention so it’s very conceivable that it took them a bit to realize what had happened.

This is what beta men like yourself do. You ever heard the song "Small town" probably not beta man. I have a wife and a daughter and I be damned if I would have sat there and watched that man attack that innocent little woman minding her own business. You need to take your Noob shite else where.

With every new event like this, more and more Americans are waking up and realizing that we need to try something radically different. The post-WW2 democratic civil rights regime is now failing to provide safety or justice, both of which are non-negotiable for a functioning society.

Yup. Also, the difference between a guy like the one who did the stabbing and some regular family joe is that the stabber won't hesitate to get violent and that gives him an edge over most reasonable people.
