If you saw someone getting into a vicious argument and getting the bejaysus beat out of them,would you step in?,have you personal experience from this?.

Why do you ask?

fedor.2. · 25-04-2011 01:33AM

only if i could get someone to hold my camcorder for me

hondasam · 25-04-2011 01:33AM

Yes, If I could not help then I would get help for the injured party.

Scuid Mhór · 25-04-2011 01:34AM

The greater good should always be stood up for so long as you're not nominating yourself to get beaten as badly as the other kid.

questionmark? · 25-04-2011 01:36AM

Help if i could or seek help if i wasnt able to do it on my own.

Got knocked out cold when I tried to stop a scumbag from hitting his girlfriend outside Dorans in Temple Bar a few years ago,had a concussion for a week or so after too!

If it's just two guys fighting I'd let them have at it,if it was a group of lads/ladies on just one person I'd call the guards,like I had to do last Thursday night when a crowd of lads jumped on some random guy on Cathal Brugha Street.

fedor.2. · 25-04-2011 01:38AM

Oh i see how it is now so...yes, yes i would

strobe · 25-04-2011 01:38AM

Yes, and I have several times. And yes a couple of times I got a kicking for my troubles. To be blunt scrapes and bruises hurt a lot less and for a shorter period of time than the guilt of walking away would for me. I did walk away once when I was 16. I heard afterwards the guy ended up permanently brain damaged. Never again.

Yeah, but partly because I would get so angry because I got the sh@t kicked out me a good few years ago so it pi@@es me right off. A fight is one thing when people are trading blows, but when somebody is lying prone on the ground receiving a beating they need your help.

It is easier said than done though. If there were 2-3 sc:mbags at it you are best calling the Gardaí and seeing if anybody else is around to try to get the sc:mbags to leave the scene...

Aoifey! · 25-04-2011 01:40AM

I would try help myself in most cases, but if it was too dangerous I would try to get help.

It all depends. If i am on my own, or with a friend who can handle himself then yes. If i am with my girlfriend then she comes first and i won't start or become involved in anything which might end up with her getting injured.

Sorry strangers.

I've gotten involved in stuff in the past and 50% of the time it was broken up and the other 50% of the time i just ended up fighting to defend myself.

Classic case in point was at a gig i was playing in a club in Dublin, went outside for a smoke after my set and there was a big row happening on the street...was happy enough to not get involved as the numbers were even and it was mostly pussy slaps being thrown so very little risk of injury. All of a sudden this braveheart decided to launch a kick into this poor lasses face and that was it, i had to move in and sort that **** out. So that was something I initially decided didn't need intervention becoming something i found it impossible to stay out of.

pragmatic1 · 25-04-2011 01:45AM

Depends how bad a beating they're getting. If its to the point that they cant defend themselves, yes I'd like to think I would. Done it before and got the head bust off me but ya dont feel it at the time.

Oranage2 · 25-04-2011 01:45AM

Was on the Luas recently and some hammered guy was getting a bit of a beating of another hammered guy, I honestly took out my phone and start recording it - super brave me i know but i aint gonna get a smack cause 2 idiots are drunk - if it was an unprovoked beating or a girl getting a slap i'd probably stand it!

Why did you record it? Just have a black sense of humour or figured you could pass the video on the cops?

Menapians · 25-04-2011 01:48AM

i have but will never do again as i tried to help a lad who was getting a severe beating only to get stabbed myself and have your lad run off

Im 19 so they'd probably be around my age so no :eek:

If they were about 14 and it was like knacker kids attacking a normal or "goth" kid as ye'd say(a stereotypical bastards

) then I would but not older then that as they'd be too big.When Im older sure but now I'd just die :eek:

Sykk · 25-04-2011 01:50AM

Yes, always.

I remember coming back from a Championship match on the train between Meath and Kildare, I was about 15. Meath won, so we were all celebrating, most of the kildare lads were pretty sound but ofcourse there were a minority of dickheads/sore losers.

We were having the craic with 2 polish fellas anyway who could barely speak english, we got them singing "come on you boys in green"..

Anyway, outside Leixlip, the 2 lads got off. 5 Scummy kildare cnuts jumped off and started absolutely battering the 2 foreigners. All of my older mates (in their 20s) stood there as me and a few other kildare lads jumped off to help them. Got a slap or two, didn't really make much of a difference as I was only a young lad trying constrain adults, but I felt better about it than all of my chicken **** mates who stood there and watched.

Point is - in most cases it's always best to help. I'd like to think if something happened to a friend/sibling, a stranger would have the balls to lend a hand.
