No. I don't know those people. Let them frick each other up while I'm entertained.

NO. Would only step in if I knew a friend was being attacked. Otherwise.......son you're on your own.

But I would use my phone to call the poo poo.

I stepped between two old fat guys in the Walmart neighborhood on coursey. They were cussing at each other and advancing towards one another. I just stepped between then and yelled at them to move on. In retrospect I should have filmed it and uploaded it to tigerdroppings. But it was instinctive to break it up.

Only way I'd get involved is if one is down and out and the other is still way-laying on the person. Might save the a-hole from a murder charge.

Then the battered woman turns on you cause you hit “her man”. Sometimes you can’t help people.

Depends, just a regular fist fight, no. A rough and tumble fight that could hurt other people around? Sure. Two people that look like weapons could be used, frick no that's how you get killed.

Neighbors yes (I stay in a pretty good neighborhood)... anywhere else no... the exception is if a man is beating the shite out of a woman than I'll probably be forced to (with weapon drawn)

The only way Id Step in is if it's a man beating on a woman who is basically helpless. Or if I someone was clearly already out, and the other person was still going at them as if they were trying to kill the other person.

This would still heavily depend on the situation and my surroundings. If I’m with my family and/or the people fighting look like they are the type to have a gun and be willing to use it, I ain’t doing shite

I've done it before. I shouldn't have, but it was just instinctual. Probably saved the guy from getting booked like the other 3 because I was able to calm him down before the cops arrived.

If someone is getting stomped on the ground and is no longer able to fight back, I'd definitely try to prevent a death from occurring.

this. my family and i were flying into Denver a few years back. two guys were fighting in the baggage claim area. the bigger guy knocked the smaller guy to the ground and was kicking him in the head. even though the guy was me +100 lbs or maybe more i was able to push him away enough to keep him from kicking the guy anymore. the guy in the ground was bleeding pretty bad once he got up. cops came and i had to give a statement and southwest gave me a travel voucher for keeping it from turning into something worse.
