Bit of a dick move so to be fair.

Indeed - i did think a lot after it that maybe i should have stepped it, both guys were really hammered and not really hurting each other is probably why i didnt

- I have stepped in between fights before just this time i didnt -

You walk down the street, I used to be a barman so walk home sober when everyone falls around Eyre Sq in Galway
See a lad slap his girlfriend so you step in and try to cool heads.

"Ye starting on me fella??" and then the girl and the guy gang up on you

If there is a solution I do not know it (find a garda in Eyre Sq at night? lol)

If I had the ould shotgun or a chainsaw handy now I'd have no bother stepping in

Thats the ould Stockholm syndrome kicking in

Would have to intervene - if not directly, then I would call the guards. Personal safety has be taken into account, especially nowadays when you have scumbags carrying knives and the like around.

So I might not go over and try break it up myself but if I saw some young lad getting his head kicked in by a gang there is no way I could just ignore it. I don't know how people can do that...I always think it, god forbid, could be my brother or boyfriend some night and I would like to think people would not just do nothing.

i used to drive a cab and seen this loads of times, often stop the car to get the guy to calm down next thing you know she`s clawing the face off you aswell as the guy wanting to fight you...

That you live in a fantasy land and that the events in your post never happened. That is all really.;)

It depends on the situation and my own view on whether or not I'd be safe.

I've jumped in before. Up for the weekend in Dublin. Saw a girl running down O'Connell St. being chased, she slipped and four or five girls started laying into her, kicking her and thumping her on the back. I put myself between the girl on the ground and the girls attacking her. Not punching them or anything, just staving them off with my reach. They disengaged enough for the girl on the ground to get up and move away, at that point the guys I was with managed to drag me off. I was extremely pissed off at them for not helping, their attitude was "It's Dublin, anything could happen" bunch of pussy culchies.

oh right!! so first off we have a funny man and second off why would i lie?? we not all cyber liars but. jus coz u are dont mean every one else is

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?.

most of the time its hard to judge the reason behind and argument.... and thus hard to formulate a response

if it was clear that A had murdered a baby and was trying to kill B... then yes (if he looked weakish), but if A was a child molester and B was attacking him, No, its all relative to the situation and circumstance.
but most of the time it could be any reason and who knows, maybe the person getting attacked mught deserve it in some cases.

Gunsfortoys · 25-04-2011 02:32AM

I wouldn't to be honest.

Reason being is that you don't know what the source is.

I would have maybe a few years ago but have learned hard lessons from stepping into something that isn't your business.

I have to say this attitude from some people from the country really irritates me. I don't know if its small mindedness / ignorance / snobbery or a combination of all three. And I wouldn't mind but many of the small so called rural towns are as rough as fook - the "big shmoke" hasn't a patch on them.

your right. happens time and time again. guy and girl fighting then they turn onto the "helping" individual :rolleyes:

I think alot has to do with context. I personally think that if a two guys are going at it... leave them to it. With a couple fighting... best to leave them to it aswell. It would be a different story if the girl is curled up in a ball on the ground and her bloke is kicking her.

The irony

Lets be honest. Its a dog eat dog world sadly. Every man for himself and all that.

So with this common shared attitude in life, can you really expect anyone to come to your aid? ... generally anyways. its sad but true.

I've done a couple of times, one poor chap was badly beaten so i called the ambulance and went with him to hospital. His mum, bless her, drove me home....they really did a number on the lad.

ToniTuddle · 25-04-2011 04:33AM

Plain and simple yup to try and talk sense into them or at least provide a distraction to help the other one get away.

Involving ones I know...most definitely.

Preferably only lad fights.......girls are bloody psycho :eek:

If you witnessed an assault or a row,would you step in?
