I saw some disturbing news today.
There was this video circulating on social media of a taxi driver in New York being attacked by five people.
The assault was vicious and senseless.
The police were nowhere to be seen.
Cars drove by without stopping.
A couple of passers-by were filming the incident.
But no one intervened to help the poor man.
And to add insult to injury,
His glasses got smashed on the ground.
The video was short, so I don’t know the context.
But with or without context, attacking another human being in broad daylight like this is despicable,
No matter how you look at it.
As I was watching the video with a heavy heart,
I was wondering,
What could have happened?
Why did these five people get so upset that they resorted to such abhorrent violence?
I wish I was there to help him.
To intervene.
