I would have been out that door as soon as I saw something going down. I can't blame people for doing nothing, since we seem to be taught that is the right thing to do. Just call 911, don't be a fool is what we all grew up with. I simply disagree with that lesson. If I see a guy that should not be where they are I intervene 100% of the time. Guy in the shadows in a parking lot skulking around? I intervene. A crime taking place? I intervene. The criminals depend on the fact that in Calgary, as a whole we pretty much do nothing.

How do you know what this situation permitted?
BTW, he did intervene. His actions prevented further violence towards the victim.
