Default If someone was being harassed in public...

whether it be verbally or physically, would you help them out?

I've always thought in my mind that I would. I feel like it more and more each day as I grow with confidence. But I really don't know if I would in the heat of the moment, you know?

I'd say I'm about 80/20% sure...

I dont think its a bad thing for people to not get involved... Especially if you're really shy.

What I would not do, however, is stand there like a gormless idiot and film everything.

I don't know to be honest, I have intervened before when someone was clearly in some distress.
I have however also seen people come off worse when trying to help.

Depending on what is going on, I think in the main, I would be more likely to call the Police, better safe than sorry,then they can find out if anything needs to be done to help.

I would yes. I'm usually of the act first think later school of thought, but instinctively I'd want to stop it so would open my gob lol.

Hmm dunno, I'd probably think it wasn't my fight to get involved in and keep me head down, unless it was seriously ott then I'd hope that I would but preferably with the support of some fellow passers by

I would let you do all the hard work taking them down Michael, then I would come along with a feeble kick and take all the credit

What a great team we would be

Depends. Verbally not really unless some real crazy **** was said. Physically..if it's a small dude/woman etc then I would definitely get involved. If it's an even fight and two people going at it then it has nothing to do with me

Verbal harassment....no

Physical harassment...natural instinct would be to try break it up I think

Would like to say I would try to help, but I know too many people who have ended up really ****ed up off that stuff. So I would ignore it unless it was someone I knew on the recieving end :/

depends who it is. if its a guy and girl you got to be careful. how many times do you see a woman being hassled threatened or worst then someone gets involved and she and her guy attack them lol

in my experience most people just watch and look on. or even worst start on the wrong one lol , really depends how it looks and who it is to whether id get involved

its like the soldier who got killed by those nutters in daylight. now if i saw that as it happened i would

it's possible but unlikely I think. I don't know what I'd do in the situation, obviously help would be very much appreciated but I wouldn't expect anybody to get involved. I'm far too selfish in thinking about what the consequences of what would happen to myself though to help anybody in danger.

..I have no idea really because I think it would be an instinct thing and you would judge the situation if it happened or not take time to judge it and just 'act'/whichever way...anyway, I don't think I would ever think to take pics though...
