what would you do?

[Russ]

ok...

Your walking threw town one day, and you see these 2 youths 1 black 1 white, about 18-20 years old, trying to snatch a purse off a lady in the middle of a busy shoppin street, theres alot of comotion, but nobody seems to want to interfere, what would you do?

[Punky]

run at them, take out the biggest one with a rugby tackle, give em a good kick in the kidneys, then try and take on their mate, whilst yelling for help. then when they are both down, look after the old lady. stealing from old people is disgusting, and even if no-one else was doing anything, i'd have to intervene. why do u ask Russ?

[Nemeliza]

Slap the son bitch upside the head.

kind of like lemmings

if i came across that situations i'd hope i'd do my best to intervene, but until i came across it i'm not quite sure what my reaction would be.

[Wiffle_BMXer]

well... if i was in that siruation id probly intervene aswell

i hate seeing things like that especially when peple are just walking by

and any way itd probly be me and knox who walked past it so id feel sorry for the two guys cause were not good to mess with :S

Without doubt I would do my very best to stop them, but if one of them had a knife then your life is not worth no amount of money.

I have been threatened with knifes before on more than one occasion, the second time it happened could not have been better timing (for me) has when the bloke pulled out his Stanley knife a police car rolled around the corner about 5 feet away and the he legged it.

Things have changed a lot in recent years, more and more people think they need to carry a weapon whether it be a knife or any other kind of weapon, and since being threatened with a knife a am a lot more careful about which fights I will try and break up.

I'd do my best to beat the cr*p outta them, prolly going for the biggest one first, after it was over i'd do my best to help out by phoning the police etc.

[sexeh]

i'd try to get people to help that were with me but the type of friends i've got they wouldn't need telling twice. they're good people

[petrefax]

difficult to sayuntil you're actually in a situation like this, but i'd like to think i'd do something

i'd probably run at them shouting a few threats to start with, hopefully scare them off (& avoid anything physical) lets face it, mugging an old lady is hardly the act of a brave man

failing that, its usually easy enough to spot the dominant character, he'll be the one who has his wits about him, the others will be turning to look at him for guidance before looking at you, he'll be the one that just turns to look at you straight away - its not always the biggest one either, which can be handy

as trash man says tho, u got to be careful of ppl with weapons these days, if anyones hand dives straight for their pocket, either jump all over them quickly or back off - nobodys handbag is worth my life

[Rory]

I'd help then afterwards claim my cut

[tonicblue]

Charge the B***ards. Like people said. The lemming effect. Maybe more people would help.

[ReDOcToBeR]

Calmy walk up to them knife the bigest one inbetween the third and fourth rib then slit the throat of the 2nd one.

Ok that's what I would like to do because scum like that don't deserve to live!.

I real life I'd find something to hand and if not just charge to fookers regardless.
I used to work on the underground and had to use force once to break up a fight and on another occasion chase some guy who had just mugged a girl student, he was too fast for me but at least I tried.
My heart rate was through the roof and yes in both instances I was rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish scared but it had to be done.

ps This is an edit,
My dad was mugged about 3 years ago and badly hurt, not just physically but mentally by it. He was 70 at the time and it was by 4 guys that just jumped him from behind when he was coming home from his CIU club, when I heard I went ballistic and went out on the hunt but alas they were long gone so you might understand my hatred of such scum

[slugs]

attack first worry about what theyve got afterwards.

[Dfhaii]

then they'll get u charged for abh or gbh an prolly claim compensation, the law looks after the criminals more than the innocent.
