What would you do - honest opinions

You're walking through town alone after dark - it's relatively well lit but not a particularly safe area - lots of low level crime, drinking etc.

You see a lone Asian man of around 30 being intimidated and verbally harassed by around 5 youths on bikes.

As a lone woman - would you intervene or would you walk past?

@SummerBluez I would have taken a film of what was happening. But no intervening would NOT have been appropriate.

@FullyHammy
I'm not even the same poster who you just accused of having a YouTube channel, are you drunk or just plain stupid? I have a TikTok, YouTube's for old people 🤣

If the training was like special forces or military and you knew you could tackle, them then yes,

Why enslave our minds to a person that says they are the son of God ?

@SummerBluez take it as a compliment, you clearly have a fan there.

Shame their comments are embarrassing, but you can see they gave it their best go, bless them 🤣

Back to your op, that was pretty similar to what happened to me. A guy was pushing a woman about, I stood up for her (I was young and stupid and thought I was invincible) for him to turn on me, then she did too.

Depends on if you want to know more about the nature of reality

Arenanewbie · 25/10/2022 22:05

I wouldn’t even risk walking past!!! I would turn away, hide and call the police. And I want my DH to do exactly the same.

SummerBluez · 25/10/2022 22:06

Troll be gone! 😁
Thanks MNHQ!

At times the trolls can be intriguing, that said they can also be a pickle,
All the best with the thread, @SummerBluez

Smellywellyhoo · 25/10/2022 22:08

Call the police from a place of safety.

DodgyLeftLeg · 25/10/2022 22:11

FullyHammy is a troll-shite whose own threads get deleted so they post crap and others.

Intervene - I have a habit of acting first and thinking later. It's not what I'd necessarily advise someone else to do mind

OldTinHat · 25/10/2022 22:18

I've intervened in a similar situation and would do again.

EndlessMagpies · 25/10/2022 22:22

Round here I'd probably intervene (in the manner of shouting at them from afar); in the locality you describe, probably not.

M2551 · 25/10/2022 22:25

Nah, I'm only petite. I'll likely turn back.
Might call the police but the sceptic in me wouldn't trust them to show up in time.

Giggorata · 25/10/2022 22:27

I would intervene. I'm a little old lady now and sometimes that helps.

MidnightConstellation · 25/10/2022 22:29

I would call the police out of sight.

Suzi888 · 25/10/2022 22:34

Similar incident happened to me recently. I intervened, perpetrator then went for me. Victim then came to my defence, along with other men. Only verbal threats were made.

In future, I’ll call the police/security.

(PS fully hammy is a troll.)
