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 ......

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.

do you feel like giving it a kicking? :D

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

Ohhh yes, but I wont ruin the place where I play ;)

bit like not ****ting on your own doorstep :lol1:

I woud bellow at someone from a far, but would depend on who, where and when it was taking place!

Agree totally:thumb:

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:

I'm waiting for the "The reason I ask is because I was mugged and this bloke looked on" ;):D.

you are so pathetic:rolleyes:

why arent you man enough to be yourself, is it because you are not much of one? :lol1:

your thread here says it all, loser...https://www.scoobynet.com/non-scooby...-fighting.html

if you are to scared to park in a space because a chav was standing in it why would you confront someone in a fight? ha ha you loser

That had crossed my mind :freak3:

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.

your just a gutless wonder. are you as big an arsehole in your 'normal' life?

i havnt misquoted anything:thumb:

She may be, and I still would, but she's not offensive..........;)
