Would you save a stranger?

Pints would you save 5ive Times?

Yup, I'd rescue him and give him a big hug.

Think your man was a bit of an eejit for challenging the guys with the guns and knives. How did he think that one was gonna end up?

Yeah I think that, he was doing alright until he tried to wrestle the gun of them, did he think he was James Bond? Should have let them have whatever they wanted but I have more respect for him than if he'd to lie down on the ground and let the girls deal wtih the c***ts.


fair play to this boy that intervened on the street.

Another pathetic group on this bus.

[Schkite]

That's one of the worst I've ever heard of, a packed bus minding their own business while a wee girl gets her head kicked in, pathetic isn't the word.

Playin devil's advocate:  Yer man in the shop was a fool for taking on people with guns and knives but the people on the bus are cowards for not taking on groups of youths who more likely than not have knives (it is London)?

No one's life was at risk in the shop, they'd just indicated they wanted the money.
That's the difference.

I'd join in on the kicking.

Nothing like a mill to ease tense, nervous headaches!

Plus the guys in the shop made it known beyond doubt that they had weapons that they were prepared to use, whereas you're really only speculating that those girls had knives.

The girls fair enough...but the group of guys bating yer man with belts and the like earlier on was different. Watching the 12 yr old girl getting beat was just plain awful.  But in other circumstances it can be more difficult and harder to gauge where bravery starts and foolishness ends. Like someone said earlier its not always black and white.

It wasnt a man they were beating, the girl said it was a boy of about 12.

I suppose I'd like to think I would help someone but then again who's to say that the guy getting beaten isn't a rapist, a paedophille or a drug dealer. I'd feel pretty sick jumping in to help someone like that and taking a hiding. It's all in the moment whether you do something or do nothing.

Oh for f**k sake....

Who's to say they're not an innocent person?
If you wouldnt step in then that's fine but dont be making up silly excuses.

[Puckoon]

I wouldnt have sex with a stranger, but in the essence of fair play I am going to suggest I would happily jump in to help one out of a tight spot.

No feckin way.
Probably why things didn't work out as a fireman.
