Got answer to a question I been thinking about ( Archived) (16)

A guy punched and pushed an older guy yesterday so he fell and hit his head in a metalpole. He instantly passed out and the guy that pushed him was about to continue beating him when I reacted with my instincts and got in between them making it impossible for the beating to continue. The guy said something about that the man that was passed out deserved it and that I had no idea what he had said to his girlfriend. I answered that I didn´t know what had happened before but that the man was allready passed out and that he could kill him if he continued. Some bouncers from a nightclub arrived after about a minute and called the police that arrived 5min later. The man was awake then but didn´t want to press any charges so i don´t have to testify in court.

When reading about people getting beaten to death in front of bystanders I have often thought about how I´d react in a situation like that. Mainly because one time some years ago when I interfered I got hit in the head with a bottle and had to go stitch it up at the hospital. Now I know that I still react the same way and I´m kind of proud of that.

I tried to help somebody years and years ago that was getting beaten up pretty badly on the street. I ended up being shoved indirectly through a store-front window and was hurt pretty badly. I would call 911 if I saw the same today. People are crazy and you never know what they are capable of.

Its definately an honorable thing you did.. Ive done the same myself..do it at work all the time

Many years ago a woman in my hometown (denver) was trying to help someone and was shot and paralyzed..

Good for you for helping ..just be careful

yea be carefull n if ya cant be carefull buy a pram...

I also praise you for possibly stopping a senseless beating,yes there are chances you take when you get involved but I would've reacted the same way,it's a shame how there are some people who use it to their advantage when they meet up with someone with more of a diadvantage.Granted the guy should've never said anything about the other guys girl(if true) but it is'nt cause for a severe beating!

The last 15 years here in Sweden it has gotten worse when it comes to violence in the streets. You never know if they are on drugs and have any weapons, so stopping fights on the street may not be the smartest thing to do, but I didn´t think, it was my instinct that took over. If there´s anything that I can´t stand it´s people thats abusing and/or being mean to others. I just hope that someone will do the same and interfere if it´s me or someone I care about that´s getting a beating.

i think great job man, i get interfere in a lot of fights so you did a gret thing man.

Good job dude saving lives is a awesome thing to be doing, keep it up, and I will say thank you for the fellow you saved.

Yeah it´s the feelings that makes the choice as one act on instinct and really don´t have time to think it through. I first laughed at your story before I realised how sad it really was. I don´t really want to think about what that womans life is like if it was her husband.
