If you saw someone attacked because of his race, would you intervene?
It was a typical winter afternoon on a busy street in Newark, N.J., when, suddenly, things seemed to take a frightening turn. Passersby saw a lone Hispanic man being verbally and physically attacked by three young men in the middle of the sidewalk.

The victim, a Hispanic actor hired by "What Would You Do?," wore plenty of padding and, although his bloodied face looked real, it was the work of a makeup artist. The assailants, three young white actors, approached the victim as hidden cameras rolled.

Jose Sucuzhanay was walking home from a party in Brooklyn, N.Y., last December when two strangers attacked him with an aluminum bat. "They were about to get home, like maybe 50 feet from the home," Jose's brother Diego Sucuzhanay said. "Two guys jumped out of the SUV and Jose was attacked and hit his head. ... He was knocked out. And ... they kept hitting [Jose] with a baseball bat."
Doctors operated to stop the bleeding in his brain but the damage was too great, and Jose Sucuzhanay died a week later from his injuries.

But this wasn't just a random attack -- police said it was a hate crime, committed because Sucuzhanay was Hispanic. And it happens more than you think. So ABC's "What Would You Do?" decided to see how people would react if they witnessed an attack against a person because he was Hispanic. Diego Sucuzhanay joined us.

  • @superpizzaguy1 I'm offended. Not because you apparently hate women, but because of your stupidty. Its so pathetic that someone would spell like that and dares to stereotype a large group of people based on a few loudmouths or someone you've met. I hate feminists, don't get me wrong, but you're saying ALL girls are like that. You are such a retard.

  • @superpizzaguy1 I believe you mean 'girls HAVE p****.' Yeah, there are a lot of girls that I really hate, but don't make any assumtions of a person based on the people you've meant before. You're obviously a jerk or idiot (or both). And you saying that is surprsing considering this video shows two girls that aren't particulary intimidating standing up for tyhe poor guy while most people just walked by.

  • I'd shit myself if he came!

  • @superpizzaguy1

    Hello Internet tough guy, /b/ is that way >>>

  • Haha, she said scadattle!!!!!!:)

  • @StormProductionzZ As much as I hate it, I would have to agree. I wouldn't physically attempt to stop armed men. 

  • this is pretty ridiculous to not stop a legitimate crime taking place in public

  • of course theyre not helping, would you walk into a 4-man riot?dont be fucking absurd

  • I have been watching so many of these videos, most of the time it is women or black people or other repressed group members intervening...They just form empathy, they stand up because they know it.They know how it feels.

  • @xxLoveMe02 girls are pussies.
