How many INGOers in the crowd?

I wouldn't tell him to stop. He's just get some in the brain box. Or whatever first clear shot I had.

This right here ^ .

If the time comes for you to get your hands dirty , you make up your mind that it's the right thing for you to be doing , you don't make a big speech out of it and you damn sure don't give the sob a warning .

 

[yeahbaby]

That is f****d is so many ways. Would step in or on to help. What is wrong with people.

 

[indiucky]

Not many "good Samaritans" out there it seems.

No....But sometimes a film reminds us of that....And then lets us (through Fantasy) imagine a world with "Saints".......

When I was younger, I did step into such situations to help people.

I'd like to think I would help now too, but I would be a lot more careful because:

• I am nowhere near as strong as I was back then. I'm significantly stronger than the average adult male, but with other factors that's not enough for me anymore.
• I am nowhere near as mobile as I was back then. I have one leg that is about 75% useful, and one that is less than half with a loss of sensation from the knee down that doesn't provide much feedback or proprioception. If I go down, I'm not capable of doing much on the ground anymore and it's going to take me a while to get back up.
• For those reasons, I am nowhere near as quick as I was back then, another strike.
• I'm not as idealistic as I was then and now I fully comprehend my own mortality.

On the other hand, I'm more assertive now and I have a really loud voice. Plus a whistle.

I couldn't stand by. I have witnessed crimes before, and I have always stepped in to help the victims. It is simply how I was raised. May not be the wisest thing, but I am guilt free.

Well stated. And i concur.

Look at some other beefy guys and say "let's roll."

 

[ajeandy]

A good tug with all my might and a face full of pepper gel for starters!

48 posts in, someone finally mentions pepper spray.

Bring a gun into a fist fight and orange will be your new black.

This is not true.

I'm guessing it will depend on what the jury says. If the police arrest you. And if the prosecutor goes forward with the charges.
I'm thinking a guy mentioning he wants to kill someone, then commences doing it, might be your case for preventing a forcible felony.

 

[beararms1776]

Old man???? You are on the list!

and yeah, I'm not the guy who will stand and watch.

Whoa! Easy there F48.
I know, I know. We're all (350,000,000 +) on the list.
Just by your post, I don't figure you for the springer show.
It is troubling though how a crowd of people could just stand around and let this happen.

There you go. You are rolling the dice, depending on a whole lot of things that are not known.
To start with, guns are banned on Amtrak:

Amtrak - Plan - Policies - Baggage Policy & Service - Prohibited Items

But one thing we do know, a man will not have the opportunity to defend his innocence but his killer will have another opportunity for freedom (bail) and it's day in court. Hopefully the demonic loon will not have the same public jury that witnessed the crime. If he does, he will be a free killer.

It's ALWAYS a roll of the dice.

If your only tool is a "hammer"...

Sometimes, you have a nail in front of you.

That's certainly what it looks like when you only have one tool.

Well, I'd use my ninja power, but with 7 twists in my spine, a herniated disc, and a pinched nerve, they seem to be lacking.
if badguy stops, fine. If not, then you are stopping a forcible felony, and protecting a life.
If you are convicted, you're probably in California.

You are making the case against yourself here ^^^.
All things you do not know, only presume. What will be known is that...
"There was a fight, someone pulled out a gun and shot the other party."
No different than what is reported about thugs in the news nearly every day.
