you would get involved in a fight?

Depends.

If they were adults I would possibly try to talk the situation through and stop further action. If the guy would try his luck on me I would defend myself. Police would then arrive and after sitting down for few hours giving statement they would let me go.

If that was a bunch of youngsters, even if I could handle them I would walkaway. If you get involved in a fight with youngsters as an a adult in a country of UK regardless the motive you would get jail or best case scenario some sort of penalty like community service but it would be jail most likely. It's just how system works in UK. The person being bullied or beaten by youngsters could be killed, so even if you potentially stopping a murder you landing yourself in hot water regardless. Parents then giving statement crying in a court that they children are angels. Jury shares the pain of the parents and you are done.
 
Join the winning side to feel good about myself without having to resort to actually doing anything, not much unlike all my Sherdog interactions.
 
All depends on the situation.

If I see someone being stomped on while unconscious good chance I would intervene. If it's just verbal harassment I probably would not care unless it's a really old person being harassed.
 
Did a Brit fuck your wife or something? You know shit all about the UK or how the system works lol. Didn't you say in the WR that the UK is 70% muslim and our prime minster is a muslim? lmao
 
Stumbled on a group of guys kicking the shit out of a guy on the ground several times in my younger days. Both times I just walked by. Once I exchanged what's up nods with one of the guys lol.


But once out of of their sight I ran to a phone. Yes. These are pre cell phone stories. I care and don't want anyone to get hurt, but I'm not risking my life for a male stranger when I don't know wtf is going on. For all I know the guy laying on the ground fucked someone's wife or beat up their sister or something, and has an ass beating coming
 
I feel better if I had a some kind of weapon or tool which I can use to create separation between bully and victim. I not confident in my hands alone.

Once I was walking about and I saw a Chinese lady with a butcher knife chase some unarmed Chinese dude out of a restaurant. Luckily there were cops down the street arresting some other people for loitering or something. I just called to them and pointed.
 
Walk towards them doing this

{<RR}

And then this over their bloody and beaten bodies

<{JustBleed}>:meow:

While picking up the one getting beaten or bulled and sending them on their way

<puh-lease75>
 
Way too many variables to give a single answer. Two adults throwing hands? Just let 'em bang, bro. One guy on the ground while the other soccer kicks his head? I'll probably try to intervene.

Years ago I had to pull a teenage girl out of a circle of other girls who were kicking her around and pulling her hair out by the roots. Had to throw a couple of their boyfriends out of the way as well.

According to the TS, you would've gone to jail for that in the UK. It's how the system works here. Therefore, none of this even happened.

That's a tough one...

I am 100% against the bystander effect, but you also never know who has a gun.

I also don't like calling the cops as they can make the situation 10x worse.

One time in Philadelphia, there was a party going on late at night in a backyard adjacent to mine. 2 guys were drunk and one of them was screaming at and punching the other guy who wwas drunk and defenseless.

I yelled out in a loudloud voice to "knock it off!" I was hoping knowing they were watched would be enough to stop. He kept picking on the guy like nothing happened.

I eventually called the cops ( who are on every corner in Philly). By the time he came, the fight was over.

The fear of consequences should never stop someone from doing the right thing.
 
Earlier today I came across a situation where I thought I might have had to step in and intervene. My buddy and I were chilling on the patio of a bar when we saw a a girl and a guy storm out. They were yelling at each other, making a scene, and the guy started grabbing her. I assumed they were girlfriend and boyfriend. The girl seemed like she was wanting to leave but the guy grabbed her and prevented her. At one point he started pulling on her arm hard and dragged her away from the bar and she started yelling stop. At this point I wasn't sure if this guy was in fact her boyfriend so I was wondering if I was going to witness some possible violence and if I should intervene. Then I realized the "guy" was really skinny and kind of feminine looking. I wondered if it was even a guy at at all and perhaps it was a butch looking lesbian getting mad at her girlfriend. If it was a guy, I felt I could've intervened without much fear of him trying to fight me, as he was extremely frail looking. But I wasn't as eager to step up to a chick, no matter how butch looking she is. In the end nothing happened.

I want to do the right thing, but self-defense laws in my country are asinine. You could defend yourself against attackers and the law could punish you for fighting back "too much."
I always tell my international friends to never get involved other than calling the authorities. They didn't listen and one of my friends was arrested for trying to break up a fight.

It seems like in this day and age it would be automatic for people to pull out their phones and document footage. Even better if they can't calm down and come after you instead, on account stopping them could be seen as self-defense.
 
Probably nothing.

I don't know the motive behind the ass kicking. I can't just assume everything is bullying when there's usually other factors behind it, like owing someone money.
 
I jumped into my fair share of altercations. Once a dude was on the side of the road with one of those "You Are All Sinners" signs at an intersection. Some fat fuck jumped out of his car and started swinging on him. I got out of my car and told my buddy to drive it down to my house and dragged the fat fuck off of the dude and told him to go home. He got back in his car and drove off.
 
I'd have to do something. If innocent person getting hassle for no reason.
