if you saw a stranger getting mugged etc, would you help?
would you step in and help a stranger that was in trouble in the street?
|
If he was getting mugged by one or two people yes, a gang, no. Gangs always turn on have a go heros even more than the oroginal person they are attacking and i'm not ashamed to say i would not risk my life for a stranger in the street.
|
damn right and ide hope someone would help me if it was the other way round, but likewise above
|
i think most people would walk away these days. most have a go hero's get stabbed for their efforts:(
|
10 years ago, yes. These days, not so sure.
|
the people that set out to attack others in broad daylight know that most people would just walk by
|
I have done, and it wasn't a will I / won't I type decision.... you just find yourself running over and getting stuck in....... autopilot is the best way to describe it.....
|
It would be my luck that I'd step in to help a masochist who was getting deviant pleasure from the beating and who would then subsequently sue for stopping it me. :(
|
Depends on circumstances. Dark alley at night time Id shout from a distance and hope to scare the mugger off but would think twice about running and getting involved.
Broaday light on the high street, someone with a bag snatched, sure give chase or whatever. Someone getting a kick in might get help. again all depending on circumstances. |

Yes. Have done before, would do again. Scarily I find myself in exact accord with DCI on this... :eek:
SB |
depends on the stranger !
|
Ollyk - twice ....? You're just a pervert ... :D
I think the autopilot comment sums it up - you just would - think about it when the gang turns on you with daggers drawn .... But I'd rather be able to know in my own mind that I did help rather than not and live with the guilt of 'what if ..' ... Oh, edited to say that I would look about for a baseball bat on the way ...... Dave |

Sorry, SN is playing funny buggers with me atm. :mad:
|
If she was fit then yes. If she was a fat moose then no. The beating may do her good.

Yes, if I was on my own, then definitely, if I had my wife or kids with me, then no.

Would, and have, a few times.
Worst was a guy getting a good kicking from a few chavs. I don't know what he had done to deserve it but whatever it was he had clearly had enough and was a mess. Less satisfying was pulling a black bloke off his missus as he was roughing her up in the street... at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. :freak3: Then the skanky b1tch had a pop at me for interfering so I told him to give her a slap from me and went on my way. People. :Whatever_ Edited to add: By the way, well done for creating a general interest thread that isn't a blatant cry for attention. Bravo Sarattention Deficit. Bravo! :thumb: |

But instead she is going to continually misquote my chav/fighting thread, as if that somehow justifies her being a shameless attention whore! :lol1: |
Is there a law in the States somewhere "the good citizen law" that requires you to help in this situation, I seem to remember something about this.
To the point if it was a fair fight, eg equally matched I would/might not help. If one was getting the better of the victim I would. (I think). |
I would, or I hope I would, never know until the actual situation but I think I would.
