Lions, Crocodiles, Buffalo…And FLIGHT 93!
Ever see those videos where some woman is getting the shit kicked out of her by her drunken boyfriend and bystanders seem to just stand by and watch?
Yeah, I get it…
…not EVERYONE has it in them to do what’s right.
After all, you may get hurt yourself, right?
Look, I’m not judging. Everyone has to make their own decision to “get involved” and I don’t fault someone for choosing their own safety over another’s. It’s a personal decision.
All I’m saying is that if BUFFALO can…And the passengers of Flight 93 can…
…then all it may take is YOU to look to the guy NEXT to you and then you have two.
Look around and you may find a third…a fifth…a tenth!
Ahhh…look at that! Now the numbers are in YOUR favor, eh?
Check out this video. It’s long…but worth every precious moment!
Video goes to show you what happens in real life also. Too many sheep, “Buffaloed” by “punks” right now. Excellent video,I hope that as those who watched this video will start to “stand up”; defend the weak, the helpless and take back their neighborhoods from “punks”.
Incredible, but for a moment I thought that the big Nile Crocodile was going to kick some ass. I suppose the lesson here is strength in numbers and having the heart, but I can’t believe the lions stuck it out for so long surrounded by all those buffalo. The lions also had a lot of nerve.
Just goes to show you, when “like minded” people (and Buffalo
stand together to accomplish particular needs and goals against all odds like: lions, thugs, wolves, tyrants, “gang-bangers” and other abusive individuals (and corrupt politicians) just what can be done.
This video is motivation to get involved, work for the good, protect the victim, save the young and the old, the weak or less fortunate (as long as “they” are willing to fight for themselves and fight for their own survival that is)
Can we expect less of those we are willing to intervene into helping?
in the wild animals do not feel sad for themselves,pout,moan and whine-and they defend thier own as well as we should–remember the saying it is not the size of the dog in a fight-it is the size of the fight in the dog-and to the maxims of the martial arts-thats why we train hard so we can-(God forbid)protect ourselves and others who cannot-
Awesome show of force!
Excellent show of the Will to Fight. Never make it easy for your attacker.
Dear Mr. Professor
Para mi is commendable Dacyn have a good friend like the Lord
It is a privilege to know that there are people knowledgeable, they know what I want and what path I must follow, and that concerned about the plight of the least protected of corruption, incompetence, Racial Segregation of multi-ethnic, and Drugs.
The State Law and Democracy and has a lot to be concerned with the oppressed peoples of the world by their leaders, and above all a farce of democracy.
I am very concerned about the lack of leaders, who can not learn to respect and to have a vision and social policy of their countries.
I’d like to be able to mobilize as the Buffaloes my fellow citizens … But we need an ally that has the same ideals than mine and a power that is able to support me and defend and conduct in order to help rebuild and destinations of the weakest of my country.
No money can never be a leader whoever he is.
I want money and support to save my people and my country.
That was bad ass. Just when you think the buffalo is a victim, the community comes together and takes back control. Great video and teaching point, Jeff.
The lions were used to being feared, which is why they continued to act with impunity and ignore the buffalo, even tho the buffalo were much larger and the lions were surrounded.
The buffalo were used to being scared, and even their great number and size couldn’t alter the perceptual blockage of how they saw themselves and the lions. Finally, a few buffalo here and there were able to muster enough courage to act, which then inspired the courage of a few others as well.
This is a metaphor for life. Certain people like bangers are used to being feared. They don’t care who’s around. Most people are used to being afraid – not causing the fear.
I have a better idea: There is nothing as satisfying as visiting terror upon the terrorist. You must decide beforehand that you will bring terror upon those who prey upon the fearful…that they will know fear, and they will know suffering.
I have a life lesson which you should keep in mind: the intimidator who fails to intimidate becomes intimidated.
PREVAIL OUT
Hi,
Great video but I think it’s important to realize that people whilst being ‘animals’ are not ‘animals’ – what I mean is that you cannot ascribe human feelings or emotions to lions and buffaloes – I wonder if the lions wished they were vegetarians after that attack…
So yes there is strength in numbers but from the perspective of getting involved with a situation where you want to do something but worry that you are outnumbered – you may NOT get help from fellow onlookers so don’t base your plans on that.
If you have/want to intervene in a situation decide if YOU have the ability and act on that. Also never forget the power of the mobile phone – CALL THE COPS!!! (And yes I have been in a situation where I intervened and only later thought how much easier it would have been if I’d phoned the police).
All the best.
Robert.
Great vieo, but the buffalos don’t have to worry about getting sued by the vultures (lawyers) when the lion and his buffalo make up and decide they can make some money!
Yes! And, there is a great video on youtube titled, “The Shocking Truth About Public Schools” that outlines how “education” today is actually geared towards disempowering the individual from taking a stand against tyranny. Like, so many people still think Osama Bin Laden was behind 9/11, when even Dick Cheney admitted on TeeVEE, “That evidence has not been forthcoming.” Just look on the FBI website for Osama Bin Laden and you will see he is NOT wanted by the FBI for 9/11. Building 7 also collapsed, but not hit by a plane! Just like a controlled demolition! Qui bono? Who benefits?
As usual, Jeff Anderson, has raised a provocative question. I’ve heard it debated for years. One side says: do the right thing, help if you can. The other: you could lose an eye and still get sued by the thug you’re defending that damsel against. Ask any cop, it’s a well known phenomenon that the girlfriend being slapped around will turn and attack her would-be defender when she sees her abusive boyfriend under fire. No good deed goes unpunished. In the final analysis, we do what we feel compelled to do in the heat of the moment and worry about the lawyers and co-dependant girlfriends later. Thanks, Jeff. Keep ‘em coming.
Hey I agree with trying to help to defend the weak. I once was in a club and this guy started yelling a this girl. Then all of a sudden he pops her up side the head twice. Being who I am I could not sit there and let it happend without trying to help. I went up and said something to him he took a swing I hit him twice he went down and I was looking to finish it when the girl hit me in the back of the head with a high hill shoe at that point I help the guy up and told him to “kick her ass”!! true story.
I have all ways been a big fan of know the threat know the solution. situations like these demand a swift intervention in force
First we must learn to not get into a bad situation!!!! but then only if no other choice…. then take action to solve the problem Quickly !!
What a fight!
Taking care of your family spirit. Love it.
Life is the best Movie!
Amazing..
While the video in question is quite exciting and dramatic, there are a few facts that most people outside of Africa or the scientific community may be unaware of.
Firstly, the Cape Buffalo, which is the “prey” animal shown in the video is considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. Lions are regularly killed attempting to bring them down. That is why the lions went for the calf, and not one of the adults. As you could see, one adult buffalo easily threw an adult lion ten feet into the air. Even professional hunters consider the Cape Buffalo one of the hardest animals to bring down.
Secondly, it took quite a long time for the buffalo to rescue the calf, and I think it was only because they realized it was not a lost cause at that point.
Lastly, there is no such thing as a “timid woodland creature”, no matter how cute they may be, or which side we’re on. There is another interesting video on youtube which shows a very aggressive rabbit chasing a snake all the way across a yard, at which point the snake actually climbs a tree just to get away from the bunny. Or the one where the numbnuts hunter gets his ass kicked by a deer after dousing himself in deer piss. No animals survive in the wild without having a strong survival instinct.
In my opinion, the ability of predators like cats to bring down huge, aggressive beasts like buffalo are as much a function of their intelligence as their aggressiveness, ruthlessness or “thuggery”. And I agree with Robert at no.10, we should take care not to anthropomorphize, that is ascribe human emotions to wild animals.
