Right now, in the parking lot below my apartment, a bunch of people are filming some sort of TCS drama in which a young man gets beaten up. He's not very old and keeps screaming "Please don't beat me" in mandarin between sobs as his assailant shouts and kicks at him.

Initially, I was about to storm down and cuss them all out for domestic violence and call the police. I was most of the way out the door with the phone in my hand before I realized what was actually going on.

Even now, hearing all the shouting, whimpering and screaming as they shoot the scene over and over again, I keep wanting to go do something about it.

Listening to this is profoundly disturbing.
