I agree. I think we’d all want our daughters or anyone in our life helped in a similar situation.

They were lucky the guys were just wasted and not carrying knives or guns though.

Agreed. Only in SF would someone argue the point.

But that doesn’t mean the situation might not have gone very far south indeed. That is the possible cost of doing the right thing.

Good deed, but stupid way to go about it - if my wife "got in someone's face" while we were in a standoff of sorts, we would have a serious discussion. Being armed when we go out, can also put a crimp in the "good deeds" area - need to stand firm, but not bait someone and escalate the situation to include non-necessary violence.

I've had 'discussions" with some hooligans a time or two and managed to stay polite and courteous despite the way they comported themselves. Perhaps the way I maintained a distance buffer, but did not try to actually "escape" sunk into their pea-sized brains...
