Amy, where are you getting this confirmation from? Its been reported that nobody was standing 'watching', he was already being tackled before the brave brazalian man joined in. So who was watching kids being knifed doing nothing and what is the exact source of that information???
I’ve no idea what happened exactly because the total media focus was on the Brazilian lad, which suits the government, far better if the main hero of the piece is a non National rather than a dub who somehow managed to get the top he was wearing slashed while standing back watching …go figure 🤷

If I may ask :
In a case like this .
There are the victims in hospital and / or in need of psychological counseling :: which Costs Money .
YES ! GoFundMe to help them with the ( probably ) astronomical expenses / ongoing care .
But I Must ask :
One who commendably selflessly comes to the aid in an emergency but suffers no injuries
to be treated , suffers no monetary loss due to his / her selfless actions ::
What is the GoFundMe about ??
/ perhaps in the larger picture in future if ppl think they might get their 15mins by helping
and may get a GoFundMe monetary reward for selflessly Doing the Right Thing :: more
people will be willing to step up to the plate ??
I don’t think so . In a situation like this a person either has the makings of stepping in - or not .
Monetary gain never , not for an iota of a second would even brush against one’s consciousness
when stepping in to save lives . I’ve been there . Not once .
But : today being what it IS — I could foresee tragic incidents staged for a ‘hero’ to step in ,
for all to hurray and Go Fund the ahole .
Am I being overly cynical ?
I don’t think so .
Pragmatic more like it .
Going on experience .
I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
