The Good Samaritan

A San Diego bus passenger was arrested on murder charges after breaking up a fight between a man and a woman.

The good samaritan allegedly intervened in a fight on the bus between a man and a woman, and held the man back for several minutes. By the time the police arrived the man lost consciousness while being restrained, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Now the good samaritan is charged with first degree murder.

Many years ago, I was on my way to a meeting in the city when I noticed a commotion across the street. It was a man inflicting a vicious assault on a woman. In a matter of minutes a policeman arrived and tried to arrest the man. The victim and the attacker then jumped on the police officer. The couple attacked the officer until other officers arrived to assist, and remove the couple from beating on the police officer.

The moral of the story is, mind your own business.
