How much abuse in this world is enough to make you stand up for what is right. I was at the House of Blues last night in Dallas. Standing in line in the cold waiting for one of my favorite performers G-Love to open. A couple starting arguing on the balcony above me and no one paid any attention there business is there business, right... Well words flared none of there friends said anything to help nip it in the bud and it got worse. The drunk boyfriend through his better bottle at his girlfriend. luckily for her it missed but it landed next to me and my friends and even closer to another couple. 100 people people outside and no one said a damn thing. Everyone just looking around stunned. The started to walk down the stairs to leave the place. and still no one said anything. I finally had to turn and yell at the top of my lungs...I was downright upset. I was ready to fight this man. I caused a scene by yelling at him that if he comes this way he better be ready to box. he turned and went inside the restaurant while finally some employees decided to step up and try to get a hold of this man b4 he hurts someone else. All the while the girlfriend was chasing after him. What do you do in a case like this? i couldn't believe there werent more men to stand up against him afraid to get involved in someone elses problems. With the amount of people out there he should have been surrounded in seconds by 20 angy people. He should have been made to clean up the broken glass in the valet front, All i saw was that he was asked to leave. Oh well next time ill just punch the guy. Maybe then he'll learn.
What does it take for someone to stand up

Wow!! I can't believe that! What the heck!!! There definately should have been more people speaking up!
It's not the best idea to get involved like that. It can be dangerous, and you could end up getting in trouble. If anything, it would be a much better idea to call the police so that they may take care of things properly.
everyone seems to think that someone else is going to stand up and in the end no one does. I don't think that guy was right to do what he did, he could have hurt someone else, but at the same time his girlfriend was still chasing after him.
i don't get why the GF was chasing after him. thats pretty dumb. unless she was gonna punch him where it hurts, thats the only good reason. people don't think anything about arguments when they hear them. after all our media and entertainment revolves around domestic violence. its in the norm now and very few people do think to step up to it,. most just think its an everyday unavoidable thing now.
