Why are people acting like the workers should of got involved?
For 8.50$ an hour and no benefits I wouldn't be doing shyt but watching too.
Because someone is getting attacked at their jobsite and there were enough of them to take the wacko down. You SHOULD want to get involved. What is wrong with people today?

I have seen nothing in the news about the victim but if she plans to sue for the employees not coming to her aid--I say "go for it".
But would they have been protected from gunshot wounds if those two girls were packing or from physical injuries? While I agree standing around and doing nothing was wrong, I'm not going to get physically involved and risk ending my life unless I'm totally sure I won't get hurt or someone close to me (like my mom) is getting their beat. I'll be the one calling 911, and flagging a cop down and let someone else get killed trying to be the physical hero and I bet most on here would not jump in physically despite everyone being big and bad over the internet.

It was pretty obvious from the beginning that the attackers didn't have guns. Else they would have whipped them out post haste. I still say that 3-4 bystanders could have held the attackers at bay while someone dragged/helped the victim to a safe location.
I would bet the ranch that if this had happened in Texas, those girls would would have been dead meat within 30 seconds. Go, Texas!!!

B/C in Texas you would not have to worry about getting locked up for defending someone even with lethal force. Not true in Maryland. Maryland (hyper-liberal) frowns on gun-ownership and use and probably would arrest everyone involved in the fight for assualt. Don't make no difference if one was charged, my wrists have a major allergy to handcuffs.
