Yeah, smart thing to do there, fight a guy wielding Jason's weapon...

Some pussy pulled a machete on me last year in December. He also had his friend off to the side. I swung my tire iron and hit his friend in the dick. The douchebag with the machete raised it, but never swung it. He talked some more shit and they both left. They were very lucky I didn't have my .45

Have you ever actually been in this type of situation?? I've seen murders, suicides, burnings, etc. and been there myself:

The initial reaction is a survival instinct which kicks in automatically- make sure YOU are safe (Freudian "id"). This keeps people away from the danger. Just get out, get away, etc. There's absolutely no thinking; this is our inherited forefathers' genetic DNA kicked into action.

The second is shock (subconscious). The one attacked doesn't feel much pain since the adrenaline is still going and he does NOT know how hurt he is. After I miraculously survived a fire which put me in the casualty ward (ER) on life support for weeks, I was walking around (in the wintertime) naked, burned and with little lungpower remaining, feeling nothing at all, telling people I'd be fine in a minute. I think shock and the surreal nature of extreme crises also contributes to loitering bystanders.

The first time I came across body parts strewn down subway tracks (suicide), I was so in shock that I just stood there agape, gawking, as if my brain were on "pause". When a cop finally woke me out of it and encouraged me to stop looking, I noticed that all the people round me wore the same blank expressionless faces, all "on pause".

The final impulse is when your conscious mind returns, once the brain is satisfied the real danger has passed. Your feelings return, you snap back to reality and you then begin remembering your societal mores and obligations. This is when you begin to see others stepping in to help.

In this video, I see the same chain of events. The victim is still walking round, incognisant of his wounds. Girls scream and guys stand around in silence, stunned. These are our instinctual reactions; men stay quiet and tend to remain still or run away silently (male hunting instinct) and women tend to shout to alert others and/or scare off the danger (female social instinct). Once the douchebag attacker has gone and reality begins to set in, you start seeing people making their way towards the victim, such as the one following him as he stumbles about. He DOES receive help, at least from the guy who ultimately videos him at the end.

If you are not trained and/or habituated to such violence (i.e. paramedics, police, military), then you'll see how brave you are when it's YOUR turn!
