Some of it was the bystander effect and some of it was just plain enjoyment of the violence.
However, unless you are ready to try to break it up with an equivalent amount of force, you will just become another casualty. Girls can be as brutal as guys.
If there was a fire hose rolled up in one of those cabinets, get it out and blow everybody out of the door. If not, get every fire extinguisher on hand and blast away. Don't stop.

You risk getting seriously hurt & y'know a lawsuit is coming. Total no-win situation. If it's not my kids involved, I would step back & 911.

(17,111 posts)I am trying to explain why anybody there who wanted to help may have been unwilling to step forward.
As for not talking, you try living in a neighborhood if you are known as a snitch. Nobody is gonna give a shite about you or a medal. That's why the cameras are vital. It is a huge hindrance to stopping crime, but there it is.
