What would you do? - Youtube Video

[matefrio]

Find two men in a struggle, one choking the other.

There's a reason they did this in New York.

 

[matefrio]

My first thought. How do you know\determin who the bad guy is?

 

[Gramps]

Agreed. But having a rope in the scenario makes me think the victim/attacker role is clear.

Either way kick the hell out of both guys and let the cops sort it out.

 

[Vaquero]

Interesting. I haven't been exposed to such, so, I have no idea.
I can guess and hope, but it wouldn't be worth your time to read.

 

[Charlie]

Throw tear gas in, shut the door, and send them on their way! Or beat tha' shit outta' everybody! Stun gun or shoot 'em both.........................or....................just go get another cup of coffee and forget about it!

 

[LJH]

I would do the same thing I did last time.

 

[Flat Lander]

Pull out your pistol and tell the guy choking the other one to stop it or he will have a new hole to breathe through.

 

[Big Phil]

Hopefully intervene, but yeah there's a reason they didn't do it Texas. I'm just thinking some "actor" would've gotten their ass handed to them.

 

[txinvestigator]

Face full of pepper spray, let cops sort out.

 

[Flat Lander]

If I had pepper spray I would do that.

The rope makes it clear that the person choking the other is trying to commit murder, even if it started out as a self defense situation, then if a person had time to pull out a rope (from somewhere) and get behind the other person, they had time to do something else. At that point my gun would come out and be fixed on the person doing the choking.

Now if no rope was involved and it was just one guy choking another then that a little different, not easy o assume who is the instigator and who is on defense. Thats when its best to leave the gun holstered and try to pull them apart (if u feel comfortable doing so when u know u have a gun one u) or call the cops and let them sort it out.

At least thats how I see it, although u never know how you'll react in a situation like that until it actually happens to u.

If I had pepper spray I would do that.

I'm with you.

If I didn't have pepper spray, I'd like to think I would've called 911 then tried to intervene somehow.

 

[hkusp1]

I would have joined in mosh pit style and beat the hell out of both of them.

 

[Mic]

I would do the same thing I did last time.

Ok. I will ask. What was that?

 

[Rangel]

Now here's the real question what would THEY have done if someone had drawn down on them. Then their stupid little game wouldn't have been so funny.

 

[steve-o]

That's a dangerous experiment.

I think most here would intervene to some extent.

I'm surprised someone didn't kick the aggressor in the face.

 

[M. Sage]

Agreed. But having a rope in the scenario makes me think the victim/attacker role is clear.

Either way kick the hell out of both guys and let the cops sort it out.

The rope tells me who the aggressor is in this one.

I hope I never end up on one of these hidden camera things, because I'd have probably hospitalized someone...

 

[RugerFan]

Kick to the face of the one doing the choking and press the ground floor button..

 

[steve-o]

The main challenge I see with this scenario is the short window of the elevator door shutting. If you were to get into the elevator to intervene, and the door shut on you, you are trapped in an elevator with an unknown situation.

 

[TexasRedneck]

Idiots doing this kinda shit are gonna meet up w/a plainsclothes cop or one of the rare licensed carry folks one day....ain't gonna be pretty.
