Would you save a stranger? Ch4

[snaw]

Now, with two weans - nope. Not if it meant putting myself in danger.

A few years back I helped a girl who was getting a slap from her boyfriend, actually me and another guy (Stranger) pulled him off her. She then proceeds to jump on this other guys back and starts screaming at him to leave her man alone ... go figure!

I remember you telling us that before... It's not long since we had one of these threads.

It's sad really that stuff like that happens but I still like to think I would try to stop someone getting hurt. I think when my sis and I "rescued" that chinese couple, it was adrenalin (sp?) as opposed to anything else.

Pah! Call yourself contractors? Get your butler to save strangers.

Who blew it up: the crowd or the guy they were beating up? Have you considered they might well have a very good reason for beating him up?

Found out later that the chap had been trying to pull someones girl. Her boyfrend and his man army took exception.

For no other reason than Smutty Friday:

I would like to think I would.

Zara - It keeps me awake some nights because:

"I would like to think YOU would"........

2 very different occasions:

Once I was in town and Bloke 1 was being attacked by Bloke 2, Bloke 2's mates were watching. When it was clear that Bloke 1 was holding his own and starting to beat the crap out of Bloke 2, the 5 mates got stuck in and it seemed unfair.

At this point for no good reason than it seeming unfair, I waded in to try and break it up. Second later the police blocked off the road and arrested us all.

Down at the station I called our solicitor and he came down and made them replay the tape from cctv. After that they let me and Bloke 1 go without charge, and held onto the others for charging.

Second occasion, I was at Barkingside tube station on the Westbound platform waiting for my train, and a random bloke walked onto the Eastbound platform, looking very upset and bedraggled. He went to the far edge of the platform, and watched the approaching train, standing right on the edge of the platform - it was clear he was thinking of jumping.

So as the train drew near I shouted something like 'What the hell do you think you're doing!!?' at the top of my voice, and it shocked him for long enough for the train to pass by. It could have been innocent, but we reckon he was about to jump.

Yep. Did it in Phuket just over two years ago when a guy was being beaten up by a drunken crazed Englishman who had already knocked out his ex with a pool queue. I threw myself at the drunken guy with a karate kick and fortunately the shock made him stop and he limped away.

as often as I can - there is so much injustice in this world I like to do my bit.

Problem is I can go a bit postal.

Other problem is I often come out on the losing side.

Oh well!
