We dont assosiate ourselves with liverpool which is nearer
Plenty of northerners walked on by in 1993 when an obviously distressed small boy was lead away by two older boys in a Livepool shopping centre... shame.

I usually try and help if it looks like it is required and hope someone would do the same for me. Last time I did help someone though I wish I hadn't. During a night out I heard all this yelling and screaming coming a side street. Went down the road to investigate to find a lad beating a lass badly so pulled him off her and tried to restrain him whilst my mate calmed her down. A crack round the face later and I pinned him to the floor telling to calm down and I'll let him go so long as they went separate ways when I did. He was just calming down when the next thing I know the stupid cow had cracked me over the head with her stiletto heel. Wish I left her to get a good kicking after the rest of the night in A&E, 4 stitches to the back of my head and my best shirt ruined.
Also whilst out with my wife at the Whiterose shopping centre we came a across a young lad distressed, she asked him where his mum was which he didn't know. I went to get a member of staff to come back to find my having really nasty abuse screamed at her by the mother of the kid that was more interested in shopping than looking after her kid.
It's not always worth helping when that's the reaction you get but you still do.

Slightly different context though, don't you think, and a bit sick to use it in this one. We're talking about injured/ill people, not kids crying dragged about by other kids who could easily be their siblings (which is seen day in day out with no ill side effects!). Shame on you for using that.
