Earlier this month, a 39-year-old Texan visiting Philadelphia was out in the wee hours of the morning when he saw several men inside a car pull up next to a group of women, whom they began taunting and catcalling. A police captain later reported that the visitor “took offense to something that the guys were saying to the girls and said ‘Hey, watch what you’re saying.’”
At that point, one of the men inside the vehicle got out and punched the Good Samaritan, who fell and struck his head on the concrete, knocking him unconscious. The suspects then fled and the victim ended up in the hospital.
Even more tragic is the instance one night last July when a 49-year-old man came to the rescue of a woman being sexually assaulted by two men at a Fresno gas station. This allowed the woman to escape, but he was badly beaten by the pair and left in the street, where he was struck and killed by a passing vehicle.
And what if the woman doesn’t even appreciate a man coming to her defense? These days many young women resent even having doors opened for them.

Wow! Why?
Swell guy you are.
These days women want to be captain of the ship...until they’re fifty yards from the rocks, at which time they become damsels in distress,
Of course once you get them out of the rough seas, they want to be captain again.
A gentleman is always armed against ruffians and highwaymen.
Having a .357 stuffed in your face brings out the polite in people....
actually, i’m confused. women are deemed capable of being police officers and protecting you from large, scary dudes. they also are capable of combat on the front lines, referreing football games and duking it out with the boys in the boardroom.
and, at least according to the tv commercials I have seen, have infinitely more brains than their dimwitted husbands.
they be awright.
I always thank people who help me. They don’t have to, and I am well aware of that.
when things are fine, they want to run things. they won’t listen to you during tese times.
when there’s trouble, they want you to be the captain.
or sometimes you get a michael brown and he charges you.
wise words for everyone to remember. :-)
if i had my cell i’d dial 911 and direct the cops to the attack.
I’m an old-school gentleman.
If a woman is in danger, I come to her aid.
And yes, it can be dangerous. And it can be unappreciated.
But I view it as a requirement of being a man.
If you attempt to intervene in a hostile situation, always have a gun at hand and be ready to fire it. In the case of the sexual assault, the rapists should have been immediately shot. In the first case, the man getting out of the car in perfect synchronization with the comment should have been immediately perceived as a threat, to which he should draw his gun; if the man continues to advance towards the gun holder or makes sudden movements, he should be shot. An additional precaution should be to wear as much body armor as you can (good general advice to anyone, even if you live in an allegedly “safe” area).
Defending others is a good general principle to practice (and if you can intervene without danger to yourself, you have a moral obligation to), but I would not extend it to people who can be identified as Leftists with 100% certainty. If I don’t think I could get a person to renounce their liberalism by helping them, I would not personally help them.
I hold doors open for the disabled, as well as people holding lots of groceries (unless they are confirmed liberals). If you are able to open the door yourself, you can do so yourself; holding the door for the able-bodied encourages the entitlement mentality.
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
That concept is not caliber specific...
But it’s a good concept all the same.
“And what if the woman doesn’t even appreciate a man coming to her defense?”
Based on my personal experiences, American women (with rare exceptions) RESNT men defending them in a physical confrontation. No joke.
RESENT*
How Obama of you.
