I know of some brutal situations where "Good Samaritans" were killed when they tried to intervene in a fight and it got me thinking.
I like to think of myself as a charitable guy that likes to help others (that deserve or legitimately need help)
It's very dangerous to intervene in a fight or assault. If two guys were fighting in a relatively fair fight, I don't think there's any way I would try to get in the middle of it. I'd probably watch and call 911. No chance am I getting involved with that. Or if a domestic dispute is occurring and a girl is getting pummeled by her bad boy Baby Daddy...no way am I getting involved with that. Not a chance.
I think the only way I would physically intervene in a fight is if someone was beating a child or if it was a life or death situation. I like to think I wouldn't stand and watch an innocent person get stabbed to death right in front of me if I could stop it. I hope I'd at least tackle the assailant and eye gouge him.
But I think the only time that I would definitely risk my life is if a child was involved.
What situation would compel you to intervene in a fight or assault between people you didn't know?
