I don't understand how people didn't tackle this fuck after it happened let alone how anyone could do this.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Bystander effect is a hell of a drug.
Recent research has called the bystander effect into serious question. In 90% of observed real world circumstances intervention by bystanders occurred.
Except the bystander effect mentioned in the “original” Kitty case is not the same as a shocked “We’re here and what the fuck just happened in the last two seconds!?”.
I’ve been an eye witness, and it’s a serious difference between “a few seconds of something horrible happening” and “wtf, someone is doing prolonged horrible deeds and murdering someone”.
The original case was just bullshit made up by a bored journalist.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kitty_Genovese
In 2007, an article in the American Psychologist found "no evidence for the presence of 38 witnesses, or that witnesses observed the murder, or that witnesses remained inactive".
That only happens if someone steps up and takes charge. Otherwise monkeys will stare slack jawed.
And the studies showed that 90% of the time someone steps up and takes charge.
I’ll need some references please.
"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of gum."
"The cake is a lie!"
"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."
In the commotion nobody's brain would parse "that guy just threw coffee on a baby" because that's not something you immediately consider
Dude is crazy enough to throw coffee on a baby. You want to wrestle with him? You know if he's carrying any weapons?
Thowing coffee on a baby is like the weakest attack in the history of mankind. They are babies and literally cant fight back.
This fucker would fold like a wish version lawnchair if you hit or tackled him.

You'd bet your life on that? I wouldn't. Fucker probably has a knife on him. Doesn't take much to ruin your life pretty quickly.
It's my local park. Normally kids everywhere. After this attack, mostly dog walkers, cyclists and runners. This MF certainly changed the local demographics, at least for the time being.
Welp, I hope he falls into a vat of acid
And survives but long enough to see him in pain.
No motives whatsoever? Was his brain on vacation or smth?
In my experience, babies prefer iced coffee. In a cup or bottle with a nipple.
