A perfect example of how very wrong white knighting can go.....

Quote:

Swain said they heard noise coming from a nearby parked car, looked over and saw a couple get out of a green Ford Crown Victoria. The man was pulling on and assaulting the woman, Swain said.

The good Samaritan walked over to see if she needed help or the police, but the woman immediately turned on him, telling him to leave them alone. She and the man cursed at the bystander trying to help and got into their car to leave.

"As the victim walked back toward his car, the suspects whom were now driving away, veered toward the male as if attempting to run him over, but missed," Swain said. "The suspect vehicle immediately effected a U-turn and made a second pass towards the victim, striking him and launching him onto their windshield. "

The victim was carried for about 150 feet before he slid forward off the car and was run over. He suffered major head and upper body trauma, and was lucky to be alive, police said.

I'm never glad to see someone else suffer, but if this kind of thing happened more often we, as a society, could do away with the problem of white-knighting for good.

what a dumbass. the good samiritan is described as a "Beverly Hills man" and the two others are described as a black man and woman riding in a green crown vic.

"I'm a wealthy white man hanging around in the hood and I'm gonna help this arguing gangsta couple out"

Wake up!

I think psychologists have a term for this "Bruce Wayne Complex".

No no no. That's called Dark Knight-ing.

The problem was that this guy viewed the woman as a victim and as someone who needed help. If it was two guys arguing there is no way he would intervene in-fact the guy would probably just leave the area.

The difference is that Batman defends the innocent.

When playing Captain Save a Hoe goes wrong. This is why I never get involved in a stranger's business, especially if it's a couple getting into it like that.

Problem is though, as a society, it IS a positive thing when people want to aid others. It's why many on here espouse traditionalist 1950's views about a time when people kept their doors unlocked etc.

Unfortunately it isn't like that anymore.

Even if they don't try to run your ass down, imagine what happens if you step in and the cops get called. Now you have a third party witness (the girl) saying you assaulted the other guy. Better start thinking about which one of your bros is most likely to stop laughing long enough to post bail.

I agree, and I'd happily help... by dialing 911.

Just get rid of the cops, get rid of the government, and lets get back to nature!

Although I hate white knights, this guy was barely even white knighting.

Fuckin all he did was ask if she needed help. Jesus that's nothing.
