If someones getting beaten up ofcourse you are going to help. If it's just someone running out the door of a shop with a packet of penny sweets that's a different story.
Kylta wrote: » Actually. Iacarus, thanks. The context of passing crime everyday is in regards to people openly selling drugs in dublin. I understand were all not from dublin. But I'm sure there are drugs sold openly in other cities etc. So when I say you pass a crime committed everyday, well if your living in a remote part of the country it might not be true. Thanks for letting me clear that up Everyday when I go through town, I'm talking about dublin, I see people selling drugs, along the quays, its a fact.

I immediately went home to track her iPhone which was in her bag along with her purse money etc. I watched the phone/handbag travel down the m1 and onto the m50, get off at tallaght and stop in a house in tallaght. I took my laptop to the guards and told them the story and they told me theres nothing they can do with the evidence. I had the address where the handbag was.

Someone being attempted to be raped, yes you step in if you can and is safe to do so. A fight after a night out, if I don't know the person, sorry to say but I carry on my way. I don't know what the altercation was and who did what so I have no ground to get involved. A mugging etc. Again if I don't know the victim I carry on my way. I lived in London for years until recently and on a few occasions I walked passed people getting mugged on the street. Felt like a prick for just letting it happen but I'm not involved, too many people getting knifed there every day so I'm sure as hell not putting myself in that situation, good friend of my had his cousin stabbed during a robbery on the street, he died. I didn't call the cops either in these instances, no point in a city that size, it happens all the time so the cops literally can't track these guys down anyway.
