Reply #45: that's disgusting

reminds me of the time I was going for my run in Prospect Park in Brooklyn and distinctly heard a women yell on the top of lungs "SOMEBODY HELP ME! RAPE!" I paused for a second to make sure I heard right and then booked it in the direction of the voice. No one else budged around me. Turned out it was just some teens kidding around with each other.

When I told my mom that story a few years ago she told me about a time she got mugged in Tompkins Square Park in the middle of the fucking day! This guy grabs her purse and tries to run with it but she held on for a good 30 seconds yelling for help while this guy was bashing her. Everyone just looked on doing nothing. After the mugger got away a few minutes later some guy came over to ask her if she was okay, she just said "fuck all of you, you should have helped" and walked away.

Even though the movie Kick Ass wasn't the best, I really did like the main character for the sole reason that he was determined to intervene.
