Yes, that was my point. Plus, as a woman, there are other atrocities to consider. As a former educator, I never would’ve seen myself as a gun owner…but here we are, living the unimaginable.

Yea that Tufts U PhD student video is even more terrifying when you think about it from a woman's perspective.

Yes. Open season on women. What bystander would come to their aid during a kidnapping or even an assault?

Certainly not the guy who captured it on video, although of course we are thankful that he did, like the guy who videoed the cops beating Rodney King in LA. Evidence of law enforcement cruelty.

While watching it, I was wondering why he didn't call the cops and say a woman is being abducted on the street in front of my apt?

I wondered that too but I think if I were in his position I'd assume someone else would call and focus on getting clear footage

So much to wonder about, and few answers. I think the man making the video had a pretty good read in the situation; the masks, the conversation, the slow process didn’t mimic an actual kidnapping. And I’m guessing he knew the woman’s risk factors for attracting ICE, although that’s pure conjecture.
