Title: Hypotheticals 1
Post by: Black Wolf on January 22, 2003, 12:27:24 pm

 I'm going to post a few of these if the reaction is good - it's the kind of thing that's good for thought. They'll just be situations in which you would have to make a descision. Please try to take it seriously, though knowing this place that probably will be difficult :D Anyway -

Situation 1

You've stepped of a train into a fairly empty train station. You're travelling alone, but 5 or 6 others came off the train at the same station. About 10m down the platform there are three guys fighting, 2 onto 1, and the guy on his own is losing pretty bad. He's not down yet, but he will be very soon, and then they'll probably boot the crap out of him. What do you do?

There are many possibilities here - keep in mind that you don't know the people involved in the fight, whether they have weapons or friends lying in wait, or even hat it's about. For all you know, the guy coould have done anything from look at the other two wrong to beat up and rob their grandmother. you could jump in recklessly and choose the wrong side, or get beaten up yourself. Or, at the other end of the spectrum, you could do nothing, and the guy in the middle could be seriously injured or even killed. Note also that for the purposes of the hypothetical, all three guys are of about the same age, build and height as yourself.

I realize that every situation is different, and a lot of your reaction is going to be determined by your interpretation of the description (eg. the composition of the crowd, availability of phones, etc.) but just try to average everthing out. Think of the normal train station crowd and stuff.

Personally, travelling alone, I'd either walk away and ring the cops, or maybe stand outside the area and try to shout some sense into them.



So, what would you do? Try to keep this on topic and as realistic as possible, otherwise it's a pointless exercise.

hmm....

I'd call the cops. Either that or pull out my Uber Uzi Clips of Doom, load them into their respective gun, then vent some anger. :D

I'd say, in this order:

• What'd he do?
• Try not to kill him.

Then walk off.

Depending on my mood and whether I had my machete with me or not, I'd either plunge in with the loser or break it up long enough to find out what was going on, then hurt the peopel I didn't like.
