24. Hope You Are Not Trying To Bring Up Race

I think the major difference in the two videos is that in the video from the OP there is a woman beating another woman whereas in the video in your post it is a man beating/hitting a woman. I think if a black man had hit an elderly black woman the black people in the video from the OP would have stopped the incident. Also, the woman being beaten in the video in the OP is white. The black people in the video may have decided not to intervene because she was white. If the woman being beaten had been black they may have stopped the event. In addition, maybe the people in the video knew why the woman was being beaten and thought she deserved to be beaten. The fast food worker was saying something about how she might lose her job. It seems she (the woman being beaten) had said something about the fast food worker. Maybe the bystanders thought she should not have said anything.
