Would you run in to the angry mob to protect an Antifa member from death?

Or a Nazi, if you are a Progressive? Or would you let the angry Mob beat them to death?


(Edit-You have received assurance from God Himself, Your Higher Power, Nick Saban, who ever controls your universe-that you will not be harmed. Under this scenario you will not receive a scratch.)

If the answer is no , I would suggest you have lost your moral bearing . Down vote in earnest now while telling me about people who play stupid games.

Are we talking angry yelling shite or angry attacking people?

Any mob group doing the latter should be considered fair game to be picked off 1 by 1 with a sniper rifle if available.

Antifa aren't worth me risking my life over and neither are Nazis. I would run into an angry mob to protect respectful people that disagree with me.

An Antifa member surrounded by the mob. A klansman surrounded by the mob. You don't have all the information.

Angry Mob? Sounds dangerous. I wouldn't risk my life for Communists or Nazis.

You say that now, but no one really knows how they would react if actually faced with that situation

Would you run into a gang of crips if you saw them robbing an innocent kid? Or would you stay away and call the cops?

How about instead of having lost a moral bearing, you are able to make prudent self preservation decisions.

Any e-warrior can claim they'd rush into an angry mob who is actively beating a person to death, and save them like batman.

In reality, this would very likely result in you getting beaten as well. Much more effective to call the police and video the people committing the crime.

Yea, if you run into a violent mob and attempt to stop them from actively assaulting someone, then you can recite my sig quote from the hospital bed you wake up in (if you wake up)

There's like three people in this world I'd do that for. None of which are described in the OP.

I'd also do it for any dog. But not cats. frick cats.

I like to think I would, but I probably would not. I would at least try to pull people off of him/her.

ETA: My moral dilemma in this is if it is better to help save a despicable person from death in a situation that would likely also lead to my own death, or is it better to still live so I can properly raise my children? Which decision is, morally, better?

Where would this happen? I'm at work most of the time and if I'm not at work I'm at home with my family. We all know Antifa members don't have jobs (other than protesting) so I don't see how our path's would ever cross.

Running into an angry mob is an ineffective means to save a life. I would try another way, including getting help or throwing stuff to get people out of the way. Getting my own self beaten to death is not a good way to save someone else from the same fate.

I don't like being around people with BO who don't shower.

How about hiding an Antifa thug from the mob ? Would you hide him or turn him over? Let's take the element of personal violence out of the discussion.

That would require bravery and selflessness of Medal of Honor proportions!
I would celebrate any who could!

I doubt I have that level courage, and pray that I will never find out!

The vast majority of conservatives condemn all racist like KKK and BLM and fascist like antifa and Nazis. Shouldn't all patriotic progressives?!

I'd probably just put a mask on and join the gang and then create a diversion. Like maybe yell something like... Is that a statue over there? Let's bring it down. Maybe the other guy can get away.

I typically surround myself with people who have jobs so they wouldn't be at an event like that anyway.

RIP Antifa person however
