Answer 1

Well being in the U.S. ARMY I would help out anyone in any situation where they needed help. whether it was a heated argument or a fist fight or if it were a mugging of 3 on 1. It's just the right thing to do in those situations. Those that walk away and do absolutely nothing, are just as bad as the ones committing the crime! That's just my opinion though.

Answer 2

Would not walk away...I would try and help in some way, if that means calling the police then that's what I would do.

My wife, over this past weekend was mugged, and got her head smack up against a restroom mirror...I wish I was there at the time because Yes I would have done something, I was watching our son with my father in law...just saw the guy running away, so you should always help someone that's getting bullied, beaten, or mugged!!

Answer 3

I don't know what I would do, but I learned in a psychology class that the majority of people will walk away without doing anything. It's a matter of being anonymous and feeling like they don't owe anybody anything.
Now, if they were to have just found 10 dollars on the ground right before witnessing that, then they would be more inclined to help. If someone else is helping, they will help. And I believe that the more people they are with in their group, the more of a chance there in that they will help.

Answer 4

I would hope that I would do something! I usually have a cell phone with me so at minimum I'd call 911. I've never been in that situation, except for long time ago when I was a teenager out with some friends. A block down the street we saw a women get her purse snatched. All four of us ran chasing and yelling after the guy, he dropped the purse, but got away. Since "all four of us" included two burly guys, it made it much easier for me to play Super Girl.

Answer 5

Well, I'd do what I did last night...Call the cops

My neighboorhood is a place where everybody knows everybody, but there are a few gang bangers on my street.

Last night, my boyfreind was over and we were having a campfire with all my neighbors. There were then these guys that drove dry that were trying to pick me up and they called me a *****. My boyfreind than got in his car and chased them down the street. I was in my car right behind him the whole time. When we got to a parking lot, they each got out and the gang bangers pulled out a knive on my boyfriend. I was in the bush the whole time and they didn't know. I then called the cops. When they got there the gang bangers were aressted and my boyfriend and I headed home.

Answer 6

That depends. It wouldn't help the person if I get beaten up as well.
If I had a chance to win a fight against the attacker/s, I would step in, if not, I would call the police and/ or other people to help. I wouldn't just do nothing.

Answer 8

Where I work, it is required by law to report any form of abuse. Failure to do so results in a hefty fine. I have 0 tolerance for bullying and abuse.
