I'm sorry guys but to everyone who have stated because he has a knife and you wouldn't to jump in and help are cowards. Not to say potentially getting hurt over a complete stranger is worth it or not, but I strongly believe it's the right thing to do. Mind over matter, the woman was getting slashed stabbed to death and I wouldn't just stand there and yell for help... there surely would be some object to use as a weapon if needed to take this motherfucker out. hell an Iphone4 is a good enough one when aim straight to the dome or a single car key to the throat/neck.
just gotta accept the fact that this world is fucked up and we are lucky to live in north america
hahah WUT?

Thats fucked up China for you. The government made this country the way it is. Hope the world looks at them and shake their heads and China wakes up and does something about it. No wonder people that live in China are rushing to Richmond/Vancouver in bus loads I would too.
"It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good ... They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time. "
against a knife, bat, etc, absolutely yes. i would. and hopefully if you saw me jump in, you would too. and maybe the guy beside you.
too much beta in todays society. not enough alpha.
against a gun, then no, i wouldnt.
+ 1, If more people had that thinking, this situation might have not happened.
You see a guy stabbing a girl, you start yelling and distracting him and trying to get him away from stabbing the girl. I, another bystander, see this as well, and I jump in with a nearby object, a chair or anything. Another person sees this as well, and next thing you know you have a 3 on 1 situation. Most likely the suspect would flee and the victim would have less severe injuries, possibly saving her life.

Not defending the people's inaction but are we all forgetting that in Canada a man was stabbed to death and had his body mutilated and eaten for hours while other passengers and the RCMP just stood there?

I assume you're referring to the grey hound beheading?
The victim was killed nearly instantly in that case, which is a completely different situation from the one this thread is dedicated to. By the time anyone on the bus realized what was happening the victim had a large knife in his passing through his neck, there was no chance of saving him.
I strongly believe in death sentence in situations like these. People like that have absolutely no excuse to walk this earth

^ don't forget, we have Robert Pickton, same crazy shit and he's still around.
unlike the north american most Chinese people do not believe in saving someone like a hero, never mind people's business especially he/she is a complete stranger.

"Another passenger, Stephen Allison, stated that McLean fought his attacker, providing other passengers with the opportunity to get off the bus."
That means he kept the guy busy while everyone else was running.
You can't fight back if you're dead.
Let's face it. when shits going down most people run. If everyone always helped then we wouldn't make a big deal about those that do. I'm sure you've heard the cliche when heroes are being interviewed" I only did what anyone else would."
Well guess what they weren't doing what anyone else would. We don't call them heroes because they did something ordinary.

Funny how hardly anyone remembers things that happen in North America...
Last year, a gentleman came to the aid of a woman who was being robbed. He in turn was stabbed by the robber. He laid on the sidewalk for an hour before he died. A number of people walked by and just looked. A few even took pictures with their cell phone. Nobody helped.
In 2008, a woman collapsed in a hospital room. Doctors, nurses and security guards walked by doing nothing. She died.
Joe Schmo walking by doing nothing, minding their own business and not wanting to get involved... I can understand that but doctors and nurses not doing anything? I thought they took an oath to help people.
Both incidents happened in NYC so by RS logic, it must be a fucked up place. Only in NYC..

only the poor people gets killed and no one does anything..
if it was a rich guy getting attacked, i think everyone would jump in and save them.. THEN ask for compensation...
ehh... even if you're not a physically fit person you can do something to prevent this from happening, grab another object, scream, distract him, gather more people, etc
although, i don't understand why people wouldn't want to be fit..
and how are the people in the background just looking ? There's at least 30 of them

perhaps you missed it in the previous page....you can't save anyone if you are dead.
two things can happen:
assess the situation first, yep using the brains that we developed through the years of evolutionary process and ask yourself "is my life worth risking over someone i don't know?"
or
jump in like an alpha caveman and act purely on primal instincts and get seriously hurt or killed...while not knowing how good the chances of the woman surviving at the time of intervention.
