The man behind the group doesn’t seem very comfortable. He certainly feels sorry for the victim, who is now being dealt with very harshly. This is beyond “teasing”. The David versus Goliath scene in front of him is getting worse, but no one has dared to intervene until now.
The decision to intervene in a bullying situation can take as little as 5 seconds, but in many cases, it can take up to 20 seconds or even longer, depending on factors such as the bystander’s confidence, the severity of the situation, and the presence of other bystanders.
Will the man jump into action?
