People often don't intervene in risky situations because they assume the people involved are "good" and harmless. A speaker challenges this by showing how even trustworthy people can create dangerous circumstances, arguing we need to teach concrete intervention skills instead of relying on character assumptions.
So why don't we intervene more often? Raise your hands. Give me reasons you think people do not intervene in these scenes when they could. Not you personally, but just people as a whole. Yes. They don't know how. They don't have the skills to do it. So we're going to give you that. Great answer. We're going to give you that. Others? Yes. All right. They think, hey, nothing— that's harmless. Nothing's going to go wrong. My friend would never do anything wrong. By the way, what are the odds if Jesse gets Erin alone, let's say in a room that night, what are the odds something sexual is attempted? On a 0 to 100, what are the odds? 99. Yeah, listen everybody, you're like 99. So even though you think this is a good person, this is not a harmless situation. Could good people do horrible things sometimes? Yes. Yes, they can.
