What to do if I was walking out of a pizza place and was mugged and severely beaten, yet store employee’s did nothing to help me?
The police weren’t called until I stumbled back in begging for help; they just all stood there and watched the monitor like it was funny, It was on camera and lasted over 5 minutes. This happened a week ago.

Under the laws of all states in this country, the employees of the pizza establishment were under no legal (albeit had a moral duty) duty to intervene while you were outside of the establishment when you were mugged. Hopefully your assailant was caught and you get your recourse through the criminal justice system.
