A Boyfriend Gently Escorted Out of the Gene Pool.

An American couple travels to Colombia for a vacation that takes a shocking turn when the girlfriend is attacked by a man with a knife in a public street.

While random strangers step in to help and stop the attack, the boyfriend’s response is to hide — raising serious questions about courage, relationships, and what people really do when danger shows up uninvited.

In this episode of Sick Sad Society, we break down:

The real story behind the Colombia knife attack

Why bystanders showed more bravery than a romantic partner

The myth of “freezing” under pressure

And how moments of crisis reveal who you’re actually with

This isn’t about being a hero.
It’s about not disappearing.

A violent street attack.
Strangers who stepped up.
And a boyfriend who turned fear into a lifestyle choice.

Flight or Fight — coming up next on Sick Sad Society.
