If I may,
If it was you, and you saw a fight between teens where one was getting tagged by the mob, how violent would it need to be before you intervened?
And, if you would intervene, what would you be willing to do when rushed?
These are questions one should have plans for before stepping out.
You ask good questions. Here’s another question that should be asked as you contemplate a dangerous situation in a split second.
“Should I risk going to jail and ruining my life if I get involved?”
If it were me, and me and mine weren’t involved, I’d leave.
Is that horrible?
If someone was being assaulted, I’d probably intervene. Only because I’m armed.
You bring up a great question. What would we do?
I’d like to think I’d do the right thing but I’m not sure I would.
A few years ago, there was an incident at the Moorestown Mall. I was there with my two youngest. We were eating cinnabons and auntie anne’s pretzels, a fight broke out and I got up and directed my two little kids to run into the Sears store. They were frantic and I was frantic but the only on my mind was getting them out.Didn’t matter what was going on. All I cared about was getting my kids to safety.
My kids are adults now so different maybe. Then, not my monkeys, not my circus. The only thing that mattered were my kids.
