I have been in situations, where something bad has taken place and I think to myself later how everything could have been avoided if only someone had helped me out. There is one specific embarrassing night that pops into my head. I had gotten sick and was surrounded by four of my good friends that were guys, and for some reason I decided to through up on myself. Even more embarrassing was I was on a balcony, and could have easily leaned over the side. However, when I was puking not one of my friends did anything, in fact they called someone else to come outside and get me.
However, there are not that many articles that state there being civilians nearby, that did not spring into action. Usually there is only a note made when one does something “heroic.” Sadly, in this article a cheerleader was stabbed to death, and then was stuffed into a car trunk which was then lit on fire. If only there was an authority figure, or someone nearby that would have acted out to save this young teen’s life. Two of the three male “murderers” were sentenced life in prison, and one has worked out a deal, and another accomplice will only serve 15 years. of course, to Angelia Headrick’s parents, it was a needed and obvious outcome.
