What do you do if you see a fight break out?

Post by Cindy Buzzedimisa »

Social media likes posting footage of people brawling, and it shows a fight can break out anywhere not just bars and sporting events. What do you do when that happens? Me personally I get away from it no watching no thanks. Too easy to get hit yourself and the bystanders tend to turn on each other. Testifying in court wouldn't be fun either. What do you guys do?

Run away
Saw some dude attack guy outside a club- blood came fast!
I ran away
Told security- they ran towards the beating and got it under control

At WWE events it’s different i want to be close as possible to see Cody get beat up
Everyone should have chance to see Seth Rollins curb stomp someone up close..so fun
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

Yup. Here in Columbus, OH, there is a news headline a few times a week about a scuffle that erupted in gunfire in the most unlikely places (but many are likely places): inside a fitness center in a "not bad" part of town. Several parking lots in okay places I've been many times. It's f*&$ed up out there.

100% this.

Growing up, whenever there was a fight it was 1 on 1...or 2 on 2....and there was some kind of basic fighting respect. Now, its mob mentality...beat them half to death and most likely a gun gets pulled.

Whatever happened to the days of knocking a guy out, helping him up,...and the beef is over.

No one wants to be a snitch, but if there are women and children nearby, it's best to call the authorities.

If it’s blacks, run like hell. Extremely high probability that shooting will quickly follow.

If it’s whites, form a circle, watch and laugh.

On a human level, my first instinct is to calm the peace. Especially if it's in a public place where others may get hurt.

But ultimately... fuck it. It's none of my business. Get out. You don't know why these people are fighting and you don't know what they are capable of. I've got my own fucking problems.

And at work, I have respect on the yard and the inmates know what to expect from me. I generally don't have to ask twice. I don't enjoy that luxury on the streets.

Continuation High School Principal here. I understand. We rarely have issues because respect and positive relationships are in place.

Oh, Man. Props to you. My girlfriend is a special ed teacher and I always tell her that I'll take the murderers and rapists I work with every day over children. You're a patient, patient person.

They are usually the ones fighting. I've seen more women fight than men. It gets pretty violent sometimes too. Never snitch though.

I watch them... here in France guns are pretty rare. And watching drunks or delinquants duke it out is a rare treat.
