A man walks into a bar with some friends. He sits down at a stool, orders a drink, and then notices something unusual in the corner—the crumpled figure of a human being chained to a table, apparently starving or injured. The man gets a bowl of pretzels and a glass of water and goes over to the figure with a couple of his friends, hoping to offer some help.
Before he knows what has happened, he’s on the floor, and a gang of regulars is standing over him in a circle, kicking and punching him mercilessly. One of the regulars shouts, “This corner of the bar is off limits! You are not allowed over here!”
