TimesDispatch.com - Woman Saves Boy

A Richmond woman, 56, with her foot in cast, stepped in to save a 3 year old from being choked by a man, as bystanders watched! She is hailed as a hero, while everyone wonders why no one else stepped in to help. It saddens me that people are like that. Is it fear? Or are we so numbed to violence from TV and movies, that when we actually see it happening in front of us violence causes less shock than it should? Mary Geibel explained her actions, "It was instinct." So where were everyone else's instincts?
