Let alone if one or two others of the half a dozen people watching helped. Or if anyone even attempted to do anything like call the police.
I'd be embarrassed if I didn't do anything and I watched someone's grandmother do more to stop the fight than anyone else in the restaurant. Embarrassed.

It may be reasonable to assume that, but it's also reasonable to assume that the second you step into it, a bunch of the attackers' "homies" might roll into the restaurant and you get the shit beat out of you, or worse. It's not uncommon for silly altercations like this to escalate into serious violence. Then you're risking hospital bills, missing work and not being able to take care of your own family. All over some freak who wouldn't leave the bathroom when asked.
Nope, I'm grabbing my Big Mac and getting the **** out.
