Spineless boyfriend cowers as his girlfriend fights off armed robber

 

 

A damsel distressed a knife-wielding attacker — while her male companion cowered in terror, at one point shielding himself behind a wall.

 A viral video shows a pair of young backpackers chatting at the entrance of what appears to be a bank or currency exchange in Colombia when a thug appears with a weapon, possibly a knife, security camera footage obtained by NewsFlash shows.

The thief tries to slash the woman’s backpack off her body, but she claws and shoves at him as her companion ducks behind the wall and onto the sidewalk.

Despite stepping forward in an apparent attempt to man up, the redheaded wimp never comes to the woman’s aid.

He watches her desperate struggle for a full fifteen seconds; at some point another man makes an attempt to step in, but then backs off, letting the woman continue to fend for herself.

Eventually, a good Samaritan dashes forward and whacks the thug with a motorcycle helmet.

Three more passers-by pile on, throwing the thief down and beating him on the ground.

The cowardly companion, however, never joins the fray — even when the thief is outnumbered four-to-one.

But after the danger passed, the wuss was back, ready to comfort the woman, the video shows.

Few details are currently available about the incident, including the date and the nature of the relationship between the two backpackers. The video shows them talking, but it is unclear if they knew one another beforehand.

Nevertheless, netizens have wasted no time ridiculing the two lily-livered bystanders, particularly the one who scrambled behind the wall.

“White Knight Jimmy just stood there like a goofball and did nothing,” one X user quipped.

“If that’s her man, she needs a new one,” someone else commented on the r/PublicFreakout Reddit page.

“Texas got rid of PornHub so that guy’s the biggest p—y I’ve seen in a while,” agreed another netizen.

Others praised the good Samaritans and lauded the young woman’s bravery. “The [rescuer] helped give those gringos an unforgettable story,” read one comment, in Spanish, on r/Colombia.

“I’m loving how it came together once half of the street showed up to collectively enforce the lack of tolerance for such horse s—,” another Redditor wrote.
