Here is a video report on a teen Seattle beating victim who says she asked Security Guards at a Seattle Metro Bus Tunnel for help, but received none as a pack of other kids beat her unmercifully. The Security Officials says they were "limited" in what they were allowed to do. There mandate was to only "observe and report."
The video of the beating, also shown in this video report, shows the girl trying to shield herself from the attackers by getting near a Security Guard, but the Guards just stand there as the girl is knocked down, kicked and beaten.
Seattle officials have begun a review to see if there needs to be a change in their policy and procedures.
Below is the more extensive video of the attack . . .
[Shrug] "We're thinking about it."
“There mandate was to only “observe and report.”
What is wrong with people. Mandate or even LAW, I wouldn’t stand there and watch someone get beaten.
This is not the same nation that flipped off the King of England and took care of themselves on the wild frontier.
God help us all.
...and if she died?
In other words, we're covering our ass. Here, put some ice on it sweetie.
The grammar in this linked article is atrocious! If Brian wants to be taken seriously as a writer, he needs to address this pronto, IMHO.
If she died, no big deal, according to the leftist Seassholes.
Just like that teenager who was beaten to death in Pioneer Square on New Year’s Eve a few years back.
Nothing happened.
Why are they called “Security” if they just stand there while a woman is assaulted?
Why doesn’t this ever happen when I’m around?
Funny. I read an article here just LAST NIGHT about a mall security guard who arrested a guy for ‘proselytizing’ while the man was discussing religion with a few ladies at the mall.
Seems a beating is okay, but talking about ...’God’...:-o is so vile that action MUST be taken.
“God help us all.”
The USA is going to Hell...I am happy not to be there anymore.
Dare we speak the unspeakably Un-PC?
These are Obammie the Commie’s soldiers. Future ACORN thugs. Election officials. Census workers.
If you don’t think many of the blacks in this country are gearing up for the potential of extreme violence, you are absolutely deceiving yourself.
“This is not the same nation that flipped off the King of England and took care of themselves on the wild frontier.”
You are right. They no longer exist because they have been genetically reduced. The tough and resourceful nature of the Anglo- Saxon does not have the predominance in the USA as it once did and a new set of perceptions from other races and nationalities now govern the landscape.
When this story about the beating first came out, a freeper commented that the girl should have shouted out to God. The thinking was that this would have catapulted the guards into action and resulted in her being taken into custody.
Did you ever hear of just doing the right thing and to heck with the consequences?
Are you old enough to remember Kitty Genovese? If not, look up her story.
Each security team needs a lawyer to partner up with. Guaranteed the lawsuits would be flying if one of them put a hand a minor.
I wonder if the ‘guards’ would have still stood around if the girl had a gun to protect herself with and used it.
THEN, I betcha they’d do more than ‘observe and report’...
I do understand their fear of being sued had they laid a hand on the attacker. This country is wacked out as far as that’s concerned.
I’m betting these were unarmed security guards with limited if any police powers. I’d be reluctant to jump into a gang fight, too.
