If you saw someone beating up another person, would you stop the attacker?

The trouble is that you just don't always know who the bad guys are these days. So I guess I would only take action if I had seen the fight start and even then, maybe it was a long standing feud and the good guy just got fed up. So I guess I'd call the cops. I certianly wouldn't just walk by as if it wasn't happening.

I think it's too dangerous to interfere in that situation. There had been cases in our place wherein the person who mediated or who wanted to stop violence done on another person, got stabbed or killed instead. It did not only happen once, but many many times. But since we are a witness to something that is very, very wrong, then I think in that situation I am going to call the police, either by phone or if there is anyone nearby then it would be a lot better. Something should be done in that case to stop the attacker from doing something that will lead to death.

I would be more aggressive in defending if I know the person. However, I am slow reactor... There are times, that I tend to absorb the situation and then do the most rightful thing. I hate it at times, hence there are situations that an abrupt action is needed.

Hey, Well it really all depends here. Number one, it depends on what they are carrying with them, whether it is a gun or some sort of knife or other weapon. If they were only carrying a knife, I might try and stop the attacker, but if I would know that the attacker had a gun, I wouldn't do anything, I would call the Police immediately. Also, it depends on how old and how big/strong the attacker is. If it is some measly skinny guy holding a knife, knives can't do anything if you know Taekwondo. And especially if you are wearing shoes, one kick to the guys hand and he will drop the knife. Even better, if you can aim at his head with your foot and give him an axe kick without warning, he most likely wouldn't get up for a few minutes/hours lol. Hope this helps!

Tough questions...if it was a family member, emotions would be involved and it would be a free for all (I'm pretty protective of my family), it wouldn't matter who it was or how big they were. If it were a stranger and the attacker was bigger than me, I'd call the police and then start yelling for help from others around me that might be big enough to stop it. I definately wouldn't just do nothing. ~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**

What would you do if you saw someone being attacked or beaten up by another person? Would you step in and try to stop them from being hurt? Would you call the police and then wait for help to arrive? Would it make a difference if the person being attacked or beaten up was a family member versus a stranger?

I may not try to break it up but I may call the police to break it up. It depends upon who was involved and how bad the fight is.

I think I'd have to access the situation and fast! If it was family I'd be calling the police (provided I had the cell phone with me and it was in range) while screaming stop it or doing anything to get the attacker's attention on to me versus them. If it were my child or a child I knew I'd be damn skippy to doing all I could to protect the child and myself.
