We're all disposable. 6 days before my 18th, walking home from a late sesh in the gym....wakes up in hospital. I had memory loss of the situation but the police apparently had footage of the mugging (they wouldn't let me see it to protect the muggers identity LOL :/). Told me 5 blokes with 3 baseball bats had hit me in the back of the head and beat me on the floor to take my empty bag that had a bottle of water and my cheap ass shoes. Apparently, they were arrested trying to do it to someone else later & I got my shoes back. But my front teeth got knocked out & I've had a domino effect of teeth trouble ever since. The police never contacted me again, protected the muggers & every time I went to the police station to see what was happening they just told me to keep coming back later, nothing ever happened, no court, nothing. I've spent years of my life trying to live on moral principle, but that only works if everyone else is too. At the end of the day humans are still animals, protecting their own with no mercy, slowly learning to deal with the evolution of consciousness & it's potential for humanity.
There is only Magnum. The reason police don't do anything half the time is because of liability. I had no problem stopping 15 people from attacking a chick on the light rail in Portland. Granted when negotiations started six were down, three fled and the rest had to contend with my colt. Never saw my knives or knew about my chain shirt sewn into my coat or my polo shirt that stops small arms fire. They left when I told them to leave at that point because any physical fight would no longer give them numbers advantage and the only thing they knew for certain is I was willing to end them. Please note I cannot share this story on UA-cam without using odd words, I would be blunt but it seems YT's censorship is in full swing. I served no time for this activity because I have a good lawyer. Think before you act.
So... A few years back I heard a guy and a girl fighting in my apartment 2 doors down there was banging I decide to call the police to report a case of domestic violence, during me explaining to the operator where I am what's going on, suddenly that fighting got louder and had clearly made it's way into the hall. In which I hear the woman shreik help. I then grabbed the pistol from my desk, put my phone in my pocket and went into the hall and and shouted "stop hands up" and aimed at the guy while he has his hands around her neck. To which they thankfully both complied and I guess her rightly assuming I wasn't talking to her she ran down the stairs. He and I stood in that hall with me pointing a gun at him for what seemed like an eternity (and I still have no idea how long it was) until the cops show up and they scream at I guess both of us "hands in the air" a cop from the stairwell behind me removed the gun from my hand shortly after. After me giving my statement to the cops a good 3 times and we clear up that I'm not getting arrested one of the cops stayed behind and asked me relatively candidly. If the guy had lunged at me, could I have pulled the trigger. He didn't give me time to think it through which I think was part of the point as he followed that up with. "You might need that to be a certain yes, soon." He further went on to explain that there were pretty decent odds that not only would someone bail him out, it actually likely will be the girl I was trying to help. That I, in the best case situation identified where I live within about 4 doors but almost certainly 1 of 2. He explained to me that some people are vengeful, even if he went to jail some people have friends that are vengeful on their behalf and the police aren't always gonna be quick. Unless you know it's do or die "don't put yourself in that position." Fortunately nothing ever came of it, but I'm not gonna lie I was happy to go when my lease ended.
Another fine example of why not to play captain-save-a-hoe. Also, vvomen like that are attracted to and go for aholes that treat them like a doormat, so they deserve each other. As the cop said, SHE will likely be the one to bail him out and is statically more likely to have initiated the domestic v (50 to 75 percent of dv is initiated by the vvoman, depending on the region).
… then get his information from LE and if he shows back up empty the magazine if he tries harming you … you choose your route bro hesitation gets dudes killed
Lol how are you gonna recognize his friends that come up on you? Please stop trying to be hard for no reason it's cringe. You can't just empty your mag on anyone who walks up to you. They know you and what you look like, you don't know them. You can't predict who might come for you until you're already dead.@@elsenorloco84
Anybody that grew up in the hood would know getting involved in a 15 plus situation you will NOT get outta there unscratched. It's not cowardly it's common sense.
I'm from the suburbs and know not to do that, like bro they beat my ass at best and that person would still be in danger. Jumping in helps fucking no one and the people that say they would are either keyboard warriors or gonna be sent to an early grave.
I don’t get why it’s expected that people, especially men, throw down their lives for someone they don’t know especially in an un winnable scenario or else they’re cowards. Doesn’t make any damn sense.
Coming from the hood seeing any size group at 1 spot is bad news. I see that I nope the hell out. If I want to hang out me and my crew go somewhere else. The name of the game is if you in a certain area keep moving. Where I come from aggression is religion. Morals don't mean shit and won't save you when shit goes down. Be aware of your surroundings when you're out not everybody is good people.
There was a teenage girl interviewed years after her firefighter father died saving people on 9/11. The interviewer asked her something along the lines of how great a hero her father was. She responded, saying she wished he wasn't such a hero. She understand he saved lives and what not, but she needed and wanted her father in her life growing up.
Well many are only able to choose one or the other. Sometimes you leave a dangerous situation with your life, and the label of a hero but are still effected by physical, emotional and mental damage. I don’t think their sacrifice should be minimized, nor do I think this girls pain should be minimized. But the world needs people who are willing to put their lives on the line. Let’s not forget.
My dad was murdered on Christmas eve in 1986 when he tried to stop a group of guys trying to steal my uncle's brand new truck outside a bar they grabbed him and stabbed him 28 times and left him to die on the street and leaving my mom without a husband and my sisters and I without a father
I’m sorry to hear that, my dude, I became a father recently and it’s a question I ask myself all the time. The way I see it though, if we all have a look the other way mentality, we end up all as prey, in China they say “not my family not my problem, if I intervene I could get killed, or thrown in jail, I’ll just look after my family” But with each man looking after his own only, there is no way to stop evil people, and Chinese people die in droves every 3 - 7 generations. In Switzerland they say “this is my home and these are my people, I will defend them” and the Swiss have enjoyed peace and prosperity in there lands for 600 years.
I’m a retired firefighter in NYC. I have nightmares over one situation where there were 2 people to save. A 67 year old woman that was passed out on the floor and was “ savable” and a 4 year old surrounded by flames and the floor was collapsing beneath her. I made the decision to save the woman. Had I gone in for the child, we both would of died. My wife and children alone. For the longest time a felt like the worlds biggest POS. I felt like a coward. But I’m not Superman. As a fireman I was successful. As a father(even though the child wasn’t mine) I felt like a failure. But 1 year from now, I’ll be walking my oldest daughter down the aisle at her wedding.
You do what you can. As you said, the child was in a situation that couldn't be salvaged. Perhaps there is something wrong with me but I wouldn't have been bothered by that scenario. I would have looked at it objectively, decided the old woman was savable, the child was not, and went on from there. I would have been grief-stricken that a child died in a fire, but I wouldn't have blamed myself for her death because it could not have been prevented no matter what action I took. Emotions often hamper a calm, logical assessment.
You should have saved the child! You were wrong for that NYC fire BOY! A Fire MAN would have saved the child! with the help of the almighty! You get no pass Here! NO hush little BABY! People want Fearless FIREMAN!!!
@@radigal161 hey how about you go save someone jackass. I bet you sit on your farads eating what mommy made you and you still cry about it little fat rolly Polly. Those who speak and judge the most are the the ones that ones who were just an accident that mommy and daddy didn’t even want.
It's because people are stupid and judge others so they can have something to talk about with others. They would never do anything themselves. They are just stupid, petty people. This is why policing is so dangerous. Line they say, cops won't get involved without backup. The real world has real consequences. You can't press reset and try again.
@@openwaters2988 People in this era have a superman complex believing they're John Wick. My boy those 1 vs. 20 situations only work in movies. In reality you're gonna get your tail laid out and put in a body bag.
Yep, although I haven't been taught de-escalation tactics when I was studying TKD or boxing - both my trainers spoke at lengths about the fact that learning techniques and getting more fit is supposed to do one thing. Keep you safe. With confidence in your abilities, you are way more likely to be able to stand your ground and not give in to the pressure of the situation. People turn to violence on a dime so being able to keep your cool and deescalate is the way. The moment punches start flying the police involvement is inevitable, and that is never fun.
It's unfortunate that most self defense classes don't teach shit like running and parkour. I've seen people try aikido on people and get knocked out cold while they could have run away.
My dad has had situations like this. In his younger days he was ex army and ran in a local gang. Anyone that caused trouble in the town him and his friends would grab chains and ride over there and sort it out. When my older brother got followed home by 5 lads he got up, walked out the house, cracked his knuckles and challenged them. They backed off. However he always told me and my brother "you 2 only ever fight if you absoloutley must, your good kids your not killers, i challenge them because i can and have been there and i dont care if i die. If one of you 2 die then i have failed as a farther and i may as well be dead". Those words always stuck with me and my brother and my dad did teach us how to fight (basics now not what he did) and his message to me was this "if you do get into a fight, show no compassion, dont let up and go all in until they are out. Because if you stop and show empathy to them your done". Basically my dads way of telling me if i must fight finish it dont walk away otherwise they will take advantage of my kindness
OMG! My mother told me the same advice. She always said “when they’re down keep ‘em down!” And “there ain’t no rules in street fighting. The only rule is win”. My mother is quite a character. She’s certainly seen some things in life. She’s an immigrant and part of a huge family - she’s mentally very tough.
@ryanwood6754 FACTS homie 🎯. Strong ASL, lightning fast handspeed, defense knife on deck, and ZERO telegraph... AINT no "fighting". They run up it's a WRAP. "Feared for life! Self defense!". *'Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6."* 👀💯💯💯💪🏾🧔🏾♂️
My cousin tried to help a girl at a party who was getting beat on by her “man”...ended up having a broken bottle stabbed into the side of his head, by the girl getting beat...now he a firm believer in minding you own business
I have a cousin who did the same dumb shit about a totally random girl getting beaten by her bf or whatever. Luckily for him, nothing serious really happened, he only got bruises. But what the hell? He did not get any pussy either... Lose/lose situation. lol
Twenty years ago at a downtown university campus at 3am, a male student intervened in a situation where - count ‘em - five thugs were assaulting a female student. He was killed, and today, do you think there is some statue in his honour? Some building named for him? There is not: not even a park bench. The incident was forgotten, and with it the young man’s name. To my shame, I’ve forgotten it too…
We're not supposed to ask this, but...what was she doing out at 3am? Sure, women should be able to go anywhere they want, whenever they want, but that's not the case. This is something I'm teaching my daughter and sure, it's not fair, but it's reality.
@@chichim2020 Think about what you are saying. Women don't owe men anything. The fact that you think so is the reason women have so many problems with men.
I read in a book somewhere, the man character save a fish not because it is the ocean that matter but because it would matter to the little fish. Unfortunately, if you’re not a supernatural being it is better step back. Mob attack r bad.
Aba sounds like a fire chief talking to his new recruits. In the fire service we are told. First priority is you. Second priority is us (fire department). Third is them (public). You can't help nobody when your dead. Curious on how aba gained this fire perspective.
Common sense hahaha. All they are saying is "dont just blindly do something without assessing a situation" If a situation seems to point to you getting dead and or just putting you in a no win situation, you should probably just chill.
As A Nigerian..Alot of young people don't know how real the world is...some people have watched too many movies...there's a difference between being brave and stupid

My coworkers brother was murdered by a man that was beating his ex girlfriend in a Walmart parking lot. He ran over to intervene and was shot and killed. You find out later on the new that man had already murdered his ex's mother, her female coworker and ultimately killed her before he was caught and arrested. It's been 10 years and he still deal with the pain of losing his only sibling.
@All Star I think they do want guns off the streets. But the catch is... The rich get to KEEP their guns. If you make guns illegal, then only criminals will have guns. Definitely true. But if you make guns illegal, less criminals will have guns. More common people will be defenseless. But you as a rich person with your own gun and armed body guards, you'll be safer. In Mexico for example, guns are illegal. Unless you are rich. Not joking. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_Mexico
Haha, true. I'm from the West Indies, I had dudes upset because I had a busty girlfriend at her place... They were punking me with weapons, I ran like a normal person would, but it was just an act. Even if, you can't act like you know how to handle the situations. If they had punk out a cop, the cop would start shooting
Some people spend too much time online, talking a lot of shit without ever getting into real trouble. Makes them ignorant to how much real world consequences can hurt.
One time a woman ran up to me asking for help saying her man was chasing and threatening her. He was a block up the street, both looked like crack heads. I thought theyre either trying some hustle or im gunna get stabbed over a crack head dispute. I told her to head to the police station 2 blocks away. After she walked off my gf turned to me and said "i cant believe you didnt help her". "Neither did you!"
VVomen are short-sighted crackpots who only see men as tools and defense weapons. Really important point you made about the hustle, anytime a vvoman wants to take me home or there's a few guys with her, first thing I'm always thinking about is there's a good chance they might be trying to rob or even kidnap, so you have to watch. So many nutcases out there.
@@taloutezero Look, I get why you feel that way, but you have to understand that the situation isn't that easy. What that girl most likely saw, is her man not helping her if she was in trouble. With a good discussion, he can explain to her his thoughts and what lead him to take that decision. Most likely, "they are crackheads, I don't want to take a risk, but I especially want to make sure that YOU are safe". These are important discussions that make people grow. This girl probably had the privilege to never be in a violent environment, and didn't even realize the threat. Discussing will help her. When I was 19, I was in a club, and a guy I knew (not a friend) was super drunk and behaving like shit. And he did some stupid shit to a guy that was massive, very tall, very strong, and willing to teach him a lesson. My gf, same age felt like she had to intervene and tried to go in between as a reflex. She was 4.9 feet, 45 kg. I didn't want to intervene because obviously, the guy I knew was behaving like shit, so it would have to happen at some point. And I was neither willing to get injured, nor willing to stop having a good time for a stupid guy. My gf went to separate them (what a joke), the guy was reaaally mad, and I had to go in between to protect her. Fortunately, I was not drunk, and he saw it, he saw that I was not any trouble, and I apologized for the stupid guy, offered him a drink for the inconvenience, and was lucky enough that he had self control. After that, I went outside the club, kicked the stupid guy out, and told security to not let him come back inside, that he was looking for trouble (not very nice). And I had a discussion with her. And I told her that because of her being stupid, I could have lost her, she could be in the hospital, that her family would suffer... Or that because of her, I might be bleeding on the ground, and end up dead, in the coma, crippled for life. And I taught her that the world she knows is a microcosm, that there is violence in reality, and sometimes, not paying attention is enough to die. From that day on, she was paying attention to her surrounding, not trying to be a hero. She used to enter her car in the middle of the night in a city, checking her phone like it was safe, before leaving. I taught her that before opening the car, she should make sure that she is safe, open and lock the door as fast as possible, and to leave right away. To be extremely vigilant at a traffic light, and be ready to leave if something happens. To check as far as possible, and if something feels weird, weird behaviour of cars around, be ready for anything. Just FYI, I'm talking about Switzerland, so quite a safe country, but still... Shit happens. But I just wanted to share that story. Someone being ignorant isn't the problem. If she refused to learn and to understand that there were risks, danger around, I would not have made any of the efforts. But I would assume from your comment that you grew up in an environment where everyone is fully aware of the violence risk? If so, just understand that it's youtube, people comment from all around the world, and we don't face the same reality.
@@fabr5747 You managed to de-escalate, best outcome. Only happened because you were willing to assume some risk. Seems like everyone nowadays is just looking out for their own, which is not good for social advancement.
There was a guy in my city that was a local boxer and tough guy ( he was very good in the ring in those amateur tournaments) and he went to a bar and some dudes started teasing him and instead of leaving with his pride a little smudged he went and fought the 2 dudes since he was confident in himself, he beat them up really good but in about an hour they cam back and stabbed him to death. Best to be careful, these things happen on the daily in most big cities, take care guys.
Yep. My dad dropped dead from a brain aneurysm this summer. He was having his car inspected at his friends garage, and lost all brain function within 30 seconds. I've had friends drop dead from drug overdoses while they were at a detox/rehab center. A guy from my highschool was shot dead a few weeks ago over beef his younger brother was involved in. Life is incredibly fragile
Right.... but the argument of looking for trouble versus doing the right thing comes to mind. Simba put his life on the line based on a hunch that the female lions would help him fight......and he still could've died anyway. All when he was perfectly fine where he was at. He literally went looking for trouble, got many animals killed (good and bad), almost died, and made the decision after being guilt tripped into it by a female he wanted bone. Every civil rights leader and revolutionary figure could be seem as stupid for risking their lives. Fred Hampton had help yet still got himself and a whole lot of people killed. Yet he's a hero because he did the right thing.
@@AO-qg4dk All your talk of bravery and calling the people who wouldn’t jump in to help cowards on the internet, yet no proof you would jump in to save someone.

One of my brothers' close school friends got in a fight over 10 years ago. He punched the guy in the face, and that guy didn't wake up after being knocked out. My brothers' friend was charged, sentenced, and is still in prison today. He was late teens when the incident took place. Now he's in his 30s, still behind bars. I was young when it happened, so I only heard about it years later, and one thing my brother told me was that he avoided violence at all costs after that. Last year, a couple was arguing in his apartment building, and he heard them get physical; he went out to check on the girl the first time he listened to the altercation against his better judgment because he couldn't stand to hear such a thing taking place. She turned on him instantly, and he ended up in a dangerous situation with the couple ganging up on him and making accusations. Since then, he has minded his business whenever he hears the couple fighting. Be smart.
My mother always taught us that you don't pick a fight with someone unless you're willing to go to jail, the hospital or the morgue. A brave corpse never rescued anyone.
I agree. Before taking any action you should consider the worst outcome from that action and then decide if you still want to do it. This can be applied to many other areas. For example, a friend or relative may ask you to lend them money. You should ask yourself "Am I okay with never getting this money back?" Because you may never get it back. If you aren't okay with that then do not loan the money.
Can I genuinely ask you this question, no racism or bigotry involved. FYI, I am from Switzerland, rather safe in theory, and a white man. So the question is, are you American? Do you think that you were taught this because you're American, and stories like this happen all over the place? Is it because you might be black in the US, and no matter the circumstances, if there is violence involved, you're likely to end up in jail even if you're criminally innocent? I would like to visit the US, and your comment seemed interesting for my understanding of the environment. And here, we have lots of guns, but guns are not considered as an appropriate self defence tool, so barely anyone dies of firearms, and the ones that do are suicides, or tragedies within a household typically. So in my reflexes developed over time, guns have never been a major risk in interactions.
@@fabr5747 Switzerland is a lovely country. I skiied there decades ago. As for me, I am a white male American. I haven't owned a firearm in over 35 years. As boys my Mother taught me and my brothers to avoid physical conflict if at all possible. She taught us never to strike the first blow, however she also taught us that we should defend ourselves, and when defending ourselves we were to use any means necessary until the agressor was no longer a threat. I am neither pro nor anti gun anymore than I am I pro or anti hammer. They are both tools with an intended purpose. That said, if you are coming to America my advice is to avoid the major cities. That is where our country warehouses all the crazy people. It's very easy to enjoy everything America has to offer without ever setting foot in a major city. I've lived for over 60 years in this country and have never once been threatened with a firearm. The vast majority of America is not like what you see on the News.
@@simdoughnut659 Thank you for your answer, really appreciate. Definitely Switzerland is a nice place to be. I agree on your opinion about guns. I would just say that in the US, there are issues with people not seeming fit to own them. And that's the real issue. Not the existence of the tool. Well, good news for me I'm much more into going to see the nature than the cities. If I travel, I want to see the most gorgeous locations, not the most crowded cities. Thank you again
That's a whole year being out of commission and recovering. Plus medical bills (if your American like me). All of that for a small argument or hell even a misunderstanding.
50 Cent ended saying in an interview that there were guys outside his grandmas house with shotguns, since he was unarmed he ran and slipped out of the back door to avoid it. He said fear is a useful tool when used right. It’s not being a coward, it’s called being smart about your decision.

100% true. I grew up in the hood, and glory to God, I got myself out. But I’ve lived through countless of these nightmare scenarios, but managing my responses. I got a pistol at 21, and never had to shoot anyone with it- because I learned how to see these things before they happen, and proactively avoid them. I worked at this athletic club, when I was 19-21. One day, a guy comes in and he’s getting crazy with me, getting in my face, etc. I’m thinking, “okay, this guys crazy”, because I’m 20 years old, SHREDDED(I was a personal trainer, former CQC in the Airforce), and I’m 6’4, 250 lbs. Guy looks like he’s on crack and he’s about 6’0, 120 lbs. I have a bit of a temper, so I tell him to get out. He says “make me”. I notice he’s wearing baggy clothes, hand in his left pocket, and his pupils are dilated. My gun is behind the counter, about 10 feet away from us, and in a locked case- so it’s useless to me. I say “Sir, what can I do to make this right? I don’t want any trouble and I’m not a bouncer, so I’m not going to try to kick you out.” He pulls his hand out of his pocket and has a pocket knife, and says “yeah, that’s right n*gga, you gon run yo pockets tho”, as he steps forward and I instinctively step back. I’m wearing basketball shorts, my wallet is in a locker, and I don’t even carry cash in it, which I tell him. A few of my other trainers finally come up, and he leaves. Well, about an hour later, that guy murdered the female leasing agent at the apartment complex, took her keys, went to her apartment, killed her BABY, cut it into pieces and threw it in a dumpster- before her husband got home. He was in a gang and had 2 other men helping him, one with a gun. They had the swat team come in and put holes in each of them with sniper rifles. I may have been way bigger than that woman he killed, but he had 2 other guys and a gun waiting for me. And I was so lucky ONLY because I had numbers on my side, and I was calm. That guy could’ve easily stabbed me in the neck and I would’ve been done. The point is that you need to stay safe. Use the buddy system. Legally carry. Be calm, and deescalate. Otherwise, you’re just talking shit/or digging yourself an early grave.
Much like the guys who supposedly got shot, there’s a lot of holes to your story. In addition to the comments above me, how was it that the guy and his gang members were shot by SWAT almost instantly after they committed their crimes? If they had done all that, they wouldve already escaped and been on a chase by the cops. Sounds very off. Not to mention you not replying to anyone
Old song, don't bring your guns to town son, leave your guns at home Bill. Don't take your guns to town. Also Marty Robbins, El Paso. We used to know these things. Songs had a lesson back in the day. People today think video games are real and they do dumb things because of this.

I’m late to this, but that situation you spoke about at the start happened to me. I called the police on 6 guys surrounding a woman in a ghetto area. They were arrested, turns out one of them had murdered someone. It was the woman. You never know how dangerous it can get, until it gets that dangerous

In other words, it wasn't considered bravery to jump into a situation where you'd be outnumbered and not considered cowardly (even to Vikings) to not engage when you're at a disadvantage.
Unless youre a Viking Berserker and can kill 40 English knights by yourself on a bridge by going berserk(yes this happened, verified by the English and the Norwegian forces both) . Then go for it, live your best life.
Introduced my nephew to the Karate Kid last night. Even Mr. Miyagi said, "One to one problem, yes. Five to one problem, too much ask anyone." In real life, my karate instructor pushed situational awareness to us as a top priority. I took that to heart.
Same for mine, too. Literally, the first thing he drilled into us is, “Don’t fight, RUN!” If you have that option, you take that option because unlike your other options, that one isn’t gonna be optional forever
This advice is very contextual. As a person who's lived in both dangerous and "civilised" places the answer to scumbags needs to be different in each place. In dangerous countries better keep your head low and move out the way asap. But in soft places being meek is actually counterproductive. Most criminals in these environments are aware of the fact that they can't kill you unless they wanna go to jail for half their lives over nothing. They're very used to robbing people who don't resist or fight back and therefore are not as proficient handling actual violence as one might think. I found in these situations going full aggro (without actually harming anyone) tends to intimidate or discourage them, because they know they can rob the next fool on the block without effort. I was once in a situation where 5 dudes tried to mug me and my friend as we were smoking weed on some bushes, it wasn't a straight out robbery and more of a "what you got there?" kind of situation where they slowly intimidate you into giving them your money. Kept my chill, offered them a puff, till one of the guys started straight out opening a pocket in my backpack (that I had on), I realised then and there that if I didn't resist these guys were gonna have us go through a real bad time. Thankfully I was a skater back then, so I straight up pushed the guy back, picked up ma skateboard and started yelling at them to fuck off, that I was gonna fuck em up, etc. etc. They got startled because the flash from chill to ultraviolent was too sudden and pissed off. Granted, we're talking about 20 something year olds in a civilised country, at best they would be packing knives, and they wouldn't have the balls to actually use them. But if you let them grow braver at your meekness they can actually turn dangerous. So idk, depends where you are. Whenever I had a bad situation in a place with real criminals I just got robbed like a bitch a gtfo. xD
Not to long ago I was walking around the streets at night and saw a dude knock out his girlfriend and kick her while she was down, so I walked around a corner and called the cops and an ambulance. When I told people this story 9/10 people looked at me like I was a coward, and asked, "Why did you walk away. Why didn't you fight him?" Even after I tried to explain to them that fighting wasn't a priority, getting her medical attention was. And if I'm fighting I'm not helping, and if I get knocked out I'm not helping and now there's two people that need help. They still looked at me like I wasn't a man. Some people just don't understand how easy it is to die or get permanently damaged from a single punch.
Not sure if you read this but thought it is worth the share. 100% you did the right thing. My friend was in the exact same situation, jumped in and beat the guy to fuck. Felt a few knocks to his head, its the guys friends right? Nope, it was the woman. He shoves her away and starts leaving and police come. He tells the story, I was helping her and she says no, you attacked me and my bf for no reason. He got a 6 month sentence, lost his job and apartment. It isnt worth it.
Survival of the fittest does not always mean survival of the strongest/bravest. It means survival of the one who is sometimes smart, sometimes cowardly, sometimes brave, and sometimes smallest or biggest. In the end, it means survival of the one who is ALIVE. That is the key word in all this. You need to stay ALIVE.
Survival of the chameleon. The one trait I’d credit the most for getting me this far in life. A lot of people like to say they “Don’t compromise or change for anyone” they’re “always true to themselves” they “tell it like it is no matter what”. Yeah, because they’re privileged enough to act that way, or they haven’t met The Wrong One yet.
This might sound stupid but when I was a kid I was watching a cartoon called Johnny test and he was trying to be a hero in one of the episodes. Then his dog said the realest thing ever. “Do you know a single hero that’s alive? They all died as hero.” Or something like that. Important lesson from a cartoon
@Discreetly Observing I'm one of them and it is common to hear that, though in most cases if you're with a security company that has leverage in a club, especially when you're with other dudes working the same crowd, well they tend not to complain too much. I also want to add that most of the time, we may only have one armed person out of 5-6 working a crowd of a few hundred. We are especially told not to intervene without proper back up for that reason.
A woman in my neighbourhood lost her husband, because he stopped with his car when he saw a woman gets beaten by a man. He was an oldish guy, got out of his car to help the woman, and the guy hit him, he fell onto the ground, broke his skull and died within a few hours.. He left behind 3 kids and a loving wife..
@@BobbyOrding exactly! You can never know what had happened there and playing a single hero against a person full of wrath is not a good idea. Call the cops or some help fast, and deal with the situation like that.
Oh amd the best part in the country i am living in, is that if you do a phisycal harm on someone else (doesn't matter in what circumstance beside self defense) you can easily find yourself in serious trouble and even in jail, because you were a so called "unauthorized person, who tried to provide justice on a physical was illegally" or something like this. Cops hates this stuff, when civils are "punishing" with their feasts someone else who caused a trouble. They are going to end up in the same punishment cathegory....
When I lived in Belgium for a time my girlfriend there lived next to gas station. And I remember how terrifying it was to hear some of the stories about people every year breaking in to steal the little money from the register. And how there were laws in place there to say that you cannot inact violence of any kind of the person that breaks in, that you have to let them take the money and wait for the cops to arrive. Last time I heard it took them 5-7minutes to arrive by then the criminals were gone. Eventually they caught all but one of them, and made everyone nervous...so it further led to my girlfriend's aunt and uncle (who worked there also) purchasing handguns, which took awhile to get through processing, and installing a smoke machine with an alarm to go off as well. I've heard other stories as well but as an American it was always ridiculous to me of how under no circumstances they say there in Belgium you cannot defend yourself, not even mace. (And yes I am aware my gf's aunt and uncle took matters into their own hands and am forever proud of them for that ❤. I just hope they do not get in trouble for defending what is their's.)
I feel like I definitely have a hero complex because I've been in situations where I wish someone came to save me and vowed that I'd never be a bystander. I had to stop inter-familial violence many times throughout my childhood, so jumping into action has become second nature to me. My husband however is a "grab your shit and run" type of person. Most recently we were running on a walking trail that eventually goes under a bridge. On the bridge is a road that has a restaurant very close by. You can smell the food from the walking trail. We heard yelling which immediately activated my PTSD and got my adrenalin pumping, but I couldn't see what was happening because the yelling was coming from the restaurant next to the bridge, and we were under the bridge. I was going to run up the stairs leading to the road to see what was happening because it sounded like someone was in danger. My husband grabbed my hand and made me keep walking, saying I have no idea what was happening and I'd blindly be putting myself, and him, in danger. In that moment, I resented him. The next day I read in the local newspaper that a man held his ex-girlfriend hostage at gunpoint behind the restaurant and the local police were able to intervene and save the girlfriend and arrest the guy. Had I run up those stairs, who knows what would've happened. And I appreciated that my husband held me back from blindly running into a dangerous situation.
So glad these two lads have taken the time to teach the value of being aware and taking responsibility for yourselves and family. My brother paid with his life trying to protect a girl that didn’t want to be protected from a group of lads, this was in a nice part of the UK. My mum hasn’t gotten over it. Play safe and don’t throw your lives away. Ava and Preach are preaching the uncomfortable truth.
@rico yungboy 401 well good for you, and I'm glad it worked out. But that really had the potential to make the situation worse. it was just cat-calling. Now that you called them out, you have hurt their fragile egos and they could feel the need to come after you. I'm not sure there is really any point.
When I got my concealed the instructor told us, "If you are going somewhere and you think you need your weapon. Don't go." That has always stuck with me.
My volunteer group witnessed a mugging once at the park we serve at. Hasn’t happened since. Should we still get a concealed carry person, or would it be better to move?
@Young Grizzly I keep a knife, brass knuckles or razor blades on me. Or whatever I can legally conceal depending on the state I go to. Cause I learned early that humans can be absolute animals and it can go down anywhere no matter where you at. I rather have it and not need it in terms of mindset, fuck lackin.
Lol some kid and his friend jumped me some years back. My brother and I found his house. We took care of that. It’s that easy. People got to be careful.
Hoe can these people live like that! How dumb and immoral have people became... Thanks hollyhellwood and MTV for glorifying the Gangsta lifestyle.. they totally destroyed the lives of many people...How can this ever be turned around!! Where are the fathers!!!
Sounds like those people have been watching too many hollyweird, excuse me, hollywood movies.1 (likely but not always) unarmed person going up to 12 people is almost automatically a lose-lose situation.
@@Loveispatient_2024 - Nah, our materialistic society tells people that they have no value if they have no money. But love for others requires love of self. So if you convince someone that they are worthless, that means that you've made everyone else worthless to them as well. So if their life is worthless and they have nothing to lose, why would they hesitate to hurt someone else who's life is equally worthless to them? That's the problem with creating hopeless people who feel like they have nothing of value to lose. If you don't believe things can really get better or worse, then nothing you do really matters. So there's no reason not to do terrible things, because it doesn't really matter.
15:10 as a war veteran this is something I've dealt with ever since. I'll do things like put my hand on my wife's back and guide her to an different angle so I can watch her, my son, amd the environment around us. Make sure we have easy access to exits, absorb the environment around us and identify possible dangers.
You’re a good man, you see if I was in a situation like what you described I’d do the same and look around, n scan for danger etc. but my woman would think I’m checking out other females. Worse still she’d expect me to jump in to fight em all.
As a kid growing up on the south side of Chicago environmental awareness was a thing that stuck with me and developed serving through the Afghanistan and Iraq war and coming back to Chicago it's almost like a institutionalized feeling like prisoners get after being locked up for so long (probably a bad analogy 😅)
Where are all the good men dead--in the heart? Or in the head? A living so-called coward is better than a dead so-called hero...because who gives a shit what so-and-so call cowardice vs. heroism? Everybody is a shit-talking 12-year-old until they prove otherwise.
Sun Tzu, The Art of War agrees: If equally matched, we can offer battle; if slightly inferior in numbers, we can avoid the enemy; if quite unequal in every way, we can flee from him.
Mistake me if I’m wrong, isn’t there another that says something to the effect of: “If we outnumber them, we can crush them” Not in relation to the video just curious
@@curingthenaivete1642 it's been awhile, but probably something to that effect. It generally says you should avoid combat unless you know your own forces, those of your enemy, and have a large advantage over them. Though it also says that if you can win without fighting, that is the best type of strategy.
My first responder buddy, 21, was in a group of 4 walking to a Uber in San Fran after hitting the club. They encounter a group of about 6 guys that began trying to intimidate them, he was trying to deescalate the situation with his hands up as a kind gesture when one of them stabbed him with a knife under his armpit straight to the chest. It hit an artery and his lung clasped. He lost 50% of his blood and was luckily kept alive by the other 3 maintaining pressure while the ambulance arrived. He barely made it. It made me think of all the times I’ve I engaged in petty fights over honor, I’m so luck nobody shot or stabbed me in the past.
Same. My temperament got me in more trouble than I'm willing to admit and there's two things that kept me without a criminal record and/or outside the hospital/morgue. I looked way less strong than I actually was and had pretty decent reflexes and instincts. But the most important one, dumb luck. Lucky I never met that guy that just didn't give a fuck. I preach cowardice nowadays. Don't take the bait and walk away it it's possible in any way, shape or form. What's less mentioned here is you could also 'win' and accidentally kill someone. There's almost always consequences. Violence is dangerous.
As a former volunteer firefighter I can say you hit the nail on the head. It is paramount in training that we are taught that our own safety is priority; second is your fellow firefighters, followed by civilians and then property. After seeing the video I can say that I would not have put myself in harms way. I'm out numbered and I have little fighting experience. I have my CPL and even if I was carrying I still would've just called the cops and let them deal with it.
I heard something similar about lifeguards, that if the person they're rescuing is panicking and threatening to drown them both by not staying still and letting the lifeguard rescue them... they're supposed to push them away so they don't drown with them. Apparently, there have been too many cases of lifeguards being dragged down by the person they're rescuing and drowning with them.
@@obsideonyx7604 I've heard the same as well. I believe the lifeguard will use their feet to nudge the person closer to shore whilst giving them the life preserver.
@@Kenny-bj2zq Exactly. To be honest and given the political climate here in the US, if I as a white man were to attempt to intervene and I had to use my concealed carry I imagine that all of the media outlet's headlines. "White man shoots unarmed black man at gas station." The following day the gas station would be burned to the ground and riots would break out across the city all while I was awaiting charges.
I was in the military, served in combat zones. Got out and was a bouncer for a while. Black belt in BJJ. I always avoid street fights and confrontations. I'm always aware of my surroundings. In the end, gun and knife beats fist. You don't know what you're dealing with.
Facts! I was homeschooled but my dad grew up in the country and a friend of mine grew of in a slightly more ghetto area. My friend wasn’t in a poor family but they were like a few miles away from a nice neighborhood to the ghettos. He told me that I had so many openings and was always unsure about eating at the center of a restaurant instead of at a corner. He didn’t live a crazy gangster life but he and his friend group were once mistaken to be somehow copying some random gang. They almost got killed by a drive-by. My friend believes they were gonna get out of the car if he hadn’t shot back with a gun of his own, but he could have been exaggerating things for all I know. The reason I mention my dad’s country life is because he actually did live a bit of a gangster life, and he has the scars and friends to prove it, which is very ironic to me because he’s a professional doctor who’s his own boss. Anyways, with his experience, he was very blatant with me about the real dangers of the world, and basically did the classic, “There is no safe place, only safe people.” only in a much longer drawn out speech. Honestly, I consider it a blessing that I had access to people with experience that this stuff isn’t safe and that you shouldn’t try to be the hero. Moral or not, the world doesn’t care. You get ganged on, you get outgunned. It is never gonna be on your time at the best situation
There are two common types of social violence: violence from people with responsibility, and violence from people with nothing to lose. People really don't know the exponential difference between the two.
That s called violence. Stop stupidily add adjective before every term. We get it. You re the messiah that know better and will save all with its righteousness

@@reembagadi7875 ??? I don’t think he said they didn’t.... his point wasn’t admonition of the violence the US caused in those areas. Just saying that kind of violence is something most people don’t, and shouldn’t have to experience.

I remember i was 16 and i wemt to the movies and there was a dude around my age getting surrounded very agressively by 5-6 dudes and it looked like it was seconds from getting the worst kind if violent. Being a pillar of light, morality, and ultramega badassery, i stepped in the defend him because it was the "right thing to do". I was now the same 3 seconds from being beat to death before one of them told me this guy has been stalking his 9yr old sister, pulled out a phone and showed me HORRIFIC messages. By this time, security came and it got settled however they moved forward, but there is most certainly a world where i was beaten half to death for sticking my nose where it didnt belong to defend a child predator
Yeah, I did something like that in Morocco. I was living in a home whereas my Wife and I occupied the top floor and another couple occupied the bottom floor. The couple on the bottom floor, every night he'd beat his Wife. I could hear her screams. I could hit the smacks and thuds. It was horrific. Naive Canadian me, despite my Moroccan wife pleading that I ignore it, decided it would be a good idea to confront the husband. It came to a showdown between the two of us. He clearly was the short-fuse type. He could have grabbed a knife, and look how stupid the outcome of that would have been. Calling the authorities? HA! In Morocco a husband has a right to beat his wife. The police are on his side. I think the only thing that saved me was that I was an "etranger" (foreigner). Because the State would not have been on his side as Morocco and Canada has strengthening ties economically. A story of a murdered Canadian would harm those ties (potentially). The Moroccan Government guards and protects foreigners from places like Canada. I was stupid. Dumbest thing I ever did was punch the guy. He went down with the first hit. I got lucky. Because they have these safety patrols and they "fixed" everything after a sum was paid. Canadians don't know the real world. My fellow Canucks are super naive. Complaining about "micro-aggressions" in a world of unimaginable violence. Not realizing how good they actually have it. Not that things can't get better but at some point you end up doing more harm than good when you try and go too far too quickly.
In other news, Morocco is progressing rather quickly. They have new laws that protect Women. Their society is changing but change ought to take time. Too fast and it backfires.
But your actions did save the wife. And an abuser got knocked out in the end. You did the right thing. And now thanks to many people standing up for what is right like you did there are changes in Morocco. Women are being protected from domestic abuse. At least now the police will check out the complaint. Evil prevails when good people do nothing. And its thanks to heroes like you that keep the monsters at bay.
@@funkyfiss we don't actually know that tho. He only said they took care of the situation, and I would guess it's making sure he doesn't get sued. Who knows if that man's still beating the wife
Policeman for 12 years now, all I can say is THANK YOU! You're telling all this to a huge crowd is very important. It honestly baffles me how ignorant people are.
I literally had to explain this to my friends boyfriend. He asked me what action I would take if I saw someone about to be attacked with a machete in broad day light. And I said I would asses the situation. I wouldn't just jump in to try and save a stranger. Especially if I didn't feel confident I could do anything anyway. I also mentioned that I have a son and don't want to potentially leave him without a father. And he was like " but he would grow up knowing his dad was a hero" and I said "No, I would rather BE IN his life, than leave him with some story. No matter how nice or flattering".
He seems a bit dim. Unless you have a gun, taking on a psycho with a machete is suicide. You're only a hero if you save the guy, unless you have extreme training and supreme confidence, and... well weapons, you're not saving anyone. Just adding to a madman's casualty list. I think the normal response would be to call the police, and "maybe" yell at the top of your lungs if its a crowded area and get everyone to scatter the fuck away from an armed lunatic.
@@defiante1 Exactly, he has a very naive sense of morality. I could understand a 16 year old having that mentality but he's 26 and should be smarter than that by now. He also comes off as a dunning kruger.

@@rickyjiggens2180 No in my ideal world, everyone runs, including the person the guy was trying to attack. Then the police show up or someone with a gun arrives and shoots the mother fucker. Not sure why you would assume the person he starts running too would stand there... they have legs too.
It’s crazy watching this AFTER the Oscar’s. Will Smith knew who to pick on. His anger was deeper than a joke. Bet he wouldn’t have slapped Adam Sandler.
I have been in a similar situation where I intervened. I was a friend's house party and another one of my friend's was being sexually harassed by some dudes outside where there was no one I knew smoking outside. So what I did was I went up and asked for a cigarette, and I told one of the guys I was gonna get that girl by the end of the night and I in front of everyone "seduced her". I did not go act aggressively, I did not go in without a plan, I used their Machismo to get her out of there safely. My heart was beating out of my chest and it was extremely scary. Don't be stupid and engage a big group of guys. Be smart or don't act. Aba and Preach are right, use your brain. If you are more passive and act friendly, you are more likely to solve a problem then acting aggressively. I also knew the girl, we went to the party together and she trusted me. Don't be a hero, but that doesn't mean you don't act, just don't resort to violence, because you vs a group of guys, their violence will win not yours. Call the cops, get more dudes, integrate into the group if you can to help them without stepping on their toes. More so, if you don't know the area, its better not to act then to act stupidly.
@@CARTOONIVERSE1 I did but at the same time I made eye contact with her and waited for a type of confirmation before I did anything. Wasn't trying to play hero, just trying to solve a problem my friend was in. Had to act like an asshole to do it but it worked!
Ah yes. The benefits of A developed country where people believe humans are born with "rights" that can't be taken away. That's how you find all those videos of white people being decapitated in a country where they were warned not to go to.
Brazilian here, you are absolutely right! These kids never seen someone die, not even in video, in the streets, the ones that want a fight, always have a weapon, always.
My mom told me as a young boy trying to be hard, that there are people in this world that can hurt you and make you take it. She had no idea how much that resonated with me. Value your life by thoroughly evaluating the situation and then determine if it is wise to engage.
Amen! Words mean little when you have never walked that walk. Two years ago, 5AM, I am waiting in the dark for the bus. A guy across the street is looking all nervous, pacing around and looking around. It was as if he were waiting for someone and he was. About 5 minutes later a pickup truck pulls up, four guys and a woman jump out. That guy I saw pacing and some other guy from the pickup truck start fist fighting. I tell myself, "It's an agreed too fight. Stay out of it." I stayed out of it. One guy got his ass kicked. Oh well. That's the price of agreeing to fight someone. No I did not call the cops. Whatever those two were fighting over must have been important enough to fist fight at 5AM by a bus stop. Not in someone's back yard. Not on the edge of town. Rather in the heart of the town where more and more people were going to gather to catch the bus.
Having kids totally changed my perspective. If someone tries to pick a fight with me (I’m a woman) I’m trying my best to deescalate that situation. I’m not risking my kids witnessing me in a fight, or anything like that. I used to be so proud that I would’ve engaged but now that I have little people relying on me I will do everything to get out of a fight.

Yeah that's why I've never supported fighting/physical violence because it can easily end in death/manslaughter if someone takes a blow to the head wrong. I've suffered a traumatic brain injury so I have a serious perspective on blows to the head and the damage it can cause. No fight or argument is worth dying or going to prison over.
@@IWillSmurfYou saving a person's life and doing a kind act is very heroic however you have to use discernment and take into account level of risk before blindly intervening. Many things aren't worth putting yourself at risk or escalating emotionally charged situations where you're outnumbered or have a bad gut feeling. Violence shouldn't be the answer unless it's self defense.

I understand your argument. But I couldn't look my kids in the eye, if I didn't stand up for someone in this situation. Granted, I'd probably try to help the lady get away.

There's been situations where a man is beating a woman and a man interferes to be the hero, only for the woman to turn on the hero for attacking their lover.
I experienced this with my sister and her baby daddy. I told her she’s on her own next time. She turned on my mom and I and started throwing rocks at us and pulled out a knife, even though she called us to come help her. Never again.
Its exactly that: you trigger them for more. Its no like in the movies where someone comes along and screams "hey leave her alone" and then they run off. NO! now they focus on you and they might beat the shit out of you! Dont try to be a hero boo boo, cause 9/10 theyre only in movies!
I live in South Africa where getting harassed is the norm for women, but we have to get through our day and take care of out responsibilities. I don't know how things are in the states but here women can talk their way out of most situations. If a guy is being persistent, I can smile, give him my number, get away, block him later. My brother's on the other hand have been beaten during muggings. One of my brother's was held at gunpoint during a home invasion and they didn't kill him because his 6 year old daughter was there. I tell my brothers the same thing Aba was saying, think of your safety first. You have people who can't live without you at home. It seems selfish but society doesn't give a shit about your life as a man.
a couple months ago while i was delivering doordash orders I saw a woman in the 7/11 parking lot i was in surrounded by 4 guys who were grabbing her and being weirdos. i yelled at them and they threatened to kill me, so i jumped out and knocked the first guy out with a sucker punch and they were all so shocked they just didnt do shit lmao they just backed up and into their cars and left. i helped the girl calm down after then i woke up
This is wisdom.. I grew up in a middle class lifestyle family, I haven't seen or encountered any serious violence in my life aside from the occasional fist fighting and sht talking, I thought I was a gangsta, I talk like one, I act like one I even disrespect teachers. All of that changed when I see three of the rival gang memebers who had allegedly raped and murdered a girl got hanged from a tree by some unknown vigilante. They were strung up on a tree in the center of the plaza for everyone to see eyes bulging out tongue swelling up flies hovering it was gruesome and I knew this dudes I used to brawl with this dudes and now they're dead in a very bizzare way, the feeling is weird I'm not happy they died even though I dont like them and I aint sad either rather it's FEAR im feeling cause that could be me if I continued this crooked path. And the worst part is I wasnt abuse, my parents loves and supports me so in my mind theres really no reason to be acting like this other than being a show off and a braggart. Anyway some folks say it was the girls family members who did it some say it was the police no one really knows, one thing is certain tho this world is cruel and some folks would not hesitate to kill others, I'm talking about the three dead bstrds who deserved it and the vigilante who ended them. Ain't no right or wrong at the end of the day it's concrete jungle and deep down were all animals.
@@AeneasGemini Bullshit. It’s the best advice. What happens if you stand your ground and have no way to protect yourself? Would you like to gamble with fate and hope the perpetrator will back down? You seem like the type of person to watch knife disarming videos and expect for those techniques to be feasible in real-life situations. Sorry, but I’ll take my chances with running. Mike Tyson once said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face.” Life isn’t some straight road of predictable scenarios.
Same with (taekwondo,boxing and jujitsu) they always tell u no matter what belt or rank is if u have the option just run the only time they tell u to fight is if u have no way to escape and even then when u are fighting tu should be trying to find a way to run (or just do nothing and give them what they want a tkd teacher of mine told me to just give the robber my bag and if they asked my shoes as well and just let them run away with it)

We're all disposable. 6 days before my 18th, walking home from a late sesh in the gym....wakes up in hospital. I had memory loss of the situation but the police apparently had footage of the mugging (they wouldn't let me see it to protect the muggers identity LOL :/). Told me 5 blokes with 3 baseball bats had hit me in the back of the head and beat me on the floor to take my empty bag that had a bottle of water and my cheap ass shoes. Apparently, they were arrested trying to do it to someone else later & I got my shoes back. But my front teeth got knocked out & I've had a domino effect of teeth trouble ever since. The police never contacted me again, protected the muggers & every time I went to the police station to see what was happening they just told me to keep coming back later, nothing ever happened, no court, nothing.
I've spent years of my life trying to live on moral principle, but that only works if everyone else is too. At the end of the day humans are still animals, protecting their own with no mercy, slowly learning to deal with the evolution of consciousness & it's potential for humanity.

There is only Magnum. The reason police don't do anything half the time is because of liability. I had no problem stopping 15 people from attacking a chick on the light rail in Portland. Granted when negotiations started six were down, three fled and the rest had to contend with my colt. Never saw my knives or knew about my chain shirt sewn into my coat or my polo shirt that stops small arms fire. They left when I told them to leave at that point because any physical fight would no longer give them numbers advantage and the only thing they knew for certain is I was willing to end them. Please note I cannot share this story on UA-cam without using odd words, I would be blunt but it seems YT's censorship is in full swing.

So... A few years back I heard a guy and a girl fighting in my apartment 2 doors down there was banging I decide to call the police to report a case of domestic violence, during me explaining to the operator where I am what's going on, suddenly that fighting got louder and had clearly made it's way into the hall. In which I hear the woman shreik help.
I then grabbed the pistol from my desk, put my phone in my pocket and went into the hall and and shouted "stop hands up" and aimed at the guy while he has his hands around her neck. To which they thankfully both complied and I guess her rightly assuming I wasn't talking to her she ran down the stairs. He and I stood in that hall with me pointing a gun at him for what seemed like an eternity (and I still have no idea how long it was) until the cops show up and they scream at I guess both of us "hands in the air" a cop from the stairwell behind me removed the gun from my hand shortly after.
After me giving my statement to the cops a good 3 times and we clear up that I'm not getting arrested one of the cops stayed behind and asked me relatively candidly. If the guy had lunged at me, could I have pulled the trigger. He didn't give me time to think it through which I think was part of the point as he followed that up with. "You might need that to be a certain yes, soon." He further went on to explain that there were pretty decent odds that not only would someone bail him out, it actually likely will be the girl I was trying to help. That I, in the best case situation identified where I live within about 4 doors but almost certainly 1 of 2. He explained to me that some people are vengeful, even if he went to jail some people have friends that are vengeful on their behalf and the police aren't always gonna be quick. Unless you know it's do or die "don't put yourself in that position."
Fortunately nothing ever came of it, but I'm not gonna lie I was happy to go when my lease ended.
That’s actually a good point at the end I never would’ve considered.
Another fine example of why not to play captain-save-a-hoe. Also, vvomen like that are attracted to and go for aholes that treat them like a doormat, so they deserve each other. As the cop said, SHE will likely be the one to bail him out and is statically more likely to have initiated the domestic v (50 to 75 percent of dv is initiated by the vvoman, depending on the region).

There was a teenage girl interviewed years after her firefighter father died saving people on 9/11. The interviewer asked her something along the lines of how great a hero her father was. She responded, saying she wished he wasn't such a hero. She understand he saved lives and what not, but she needed and wanted her father in her life growing up.
Really deep.
That was perfect what she said. Like I don’t want a hero in my life, I want a father instead
Well many are only able to choose one or the other. Sometimes you leave a dangerous situation with your life, and the label of a hero but are still effected by physical, emotional and mental damage. I don’t think their sacrifice should be minimized, nor do I think this girls pain should be minimized. But the world needs people who are willing to put their lives on the line. Let’s not forget.

I’m a retired firefighter in NYC. I have nightmares over one situation where there were 2 people to save. A 67 year old woman that was passed out on the floor and was “ savable” and a 4 year old surrounded by flames and the floor was collapsing beneath her. I made the decision to save the woman. Had I gone in for the child, we both would of died. My wife and children alone. For the longest time a felt like the worlds biggest POS. I felt like a coward. But I’m not Superman. As a fireman I was successful. As a father(even though the child wasn’t mine) I felt like a failure. But 1 year from now, I’ll be walking my oldest daughter down the aisle at her wedding.
You do what you can. As you said, the child was in a situation that couldn't be salvaged. Perhaps there is something wrong with me but I wouldn't have been bothered by that scenario.
I would have looked at it objectively, decided the old woman was savable, the child was not, and went on from there. I would have been grief-stricken that a child died in a fire, but I wouldn't have blamed myself for her death because it could not have been prevented no matter what action I took. Emotions often hamper a calm, logical assessment.
🤍 I hope you realize that as hard and hurtful of a decision that was. It was the best decision for your family 🤍
Serious question: if family was involved would your decision have been different?
You should have saved the child! You were wrong for that NYC fire BOY! A Fire MAN would have saved the child! with the help of the almighty! You get no pass Here! NO hush little BABY! People want Fearless FIREMAN!!!

Amen

Yep, although I haven't been taught de-escalation tactics when I was studying TKD or boxing - both my trainers spoke at lengths about the fact that learning techniques and getting more fit is supposed to do one thing. Keep you safe.
With confidence in your abilities, you are way more likely to be able to stand your ground and not give in to the pressure of the situation. People turn to violence on a dime so being able to keep your cool and deescalate is the way. The moment punches start flying the police involvement is inevitable, and that is never fun.
It's unfortunate that most self defense classes don't teach shit like running and parkour. I've seen people try aikido on people and get knocked out cold while they could have run away.

My dad has had situations like this. In his younger days he was ex army and ran in a local gang. Anyone that caused trouble in the town him and his friends would grab chains and ride over there and sort it out. When my older brother got followed home by 5 lads he got up, walked out the house, cracked his knuckles and challenged them. They backed off. However he always told me and my brother "you 2 only ever fight if you absoloutley must, your good kids your not killers, i challenge them because i can and have been there and i dont care if i die. If one of you 2 die then i have failed as a farther and i may as well be dead". Those words always stuck with me and my brother and my dad did teach us how to fight (basics now not what he did) and his message to me was this "if you do get into a fight, show no compassion, dont let up and go all in until they are out. Because if you stop and show empathy to them your done".
Basically my dads way of telling me if i must fight finish it dont walk away otherwise they will take advantage of my kindness

Twenty years ago at a downtown university campus at 3am, a male student intervened in a situation where - count ‘em - five thugs were assaulting a female student. He was killed, and today, do you think there is some statue in his honour? Some building named for him? There is not: not even a park bench. The incident was forgotten, and with it the young man’s name. To my shame, I’ve forgotten it too…
Did he at least give her time to escape or was it all completely pointless?
We're not supposed to ask this, but...what was she doing out at 3am? Sure, women should be able to go anywhere they want, whenever they want, but that's not the case. This is something I'm teaching my daughter and sure, it's not fair, but it's reality.

@All Star I think they do want guns off the streets. But the catch is... The rich get to KEEP their guns. If you make guns illegal, then only criminals will have guns. Definitely true. But if you make guns illegal, less criminals will have guns. More common people will be defenseless. But you as a rich person with your own gun and armed body guards, you'll be safer.
In Mexico for example, guns are illegal. Unless you are rich. Not joking.

So many nutcases out there.
@@taloutezero Look, I get why you feel that way, but you have to understand that the situation isn't that easy. What that girl most likely saw, is her man not helping her if she was in trouble.
With a good discussion, he can explain to her his thoughts and what lead him to take that decision. Most likely, "they are crackheads, I don't want to take a risk, but I especially want to make sure that YOU are safe".
These are important discussions that make people grow. This girl probably had the privilege to never be in a violent environment, and didn't even realize the threat. Discussing will help her.
When I was 19, I was in a club, and a guy I knew (not a friend) was super drunk and behaving like shit. And he did some stupid shit to a guy that was massive, very tall, very strong, and willing to teach him a lesson. My gf, same age felt like she had to intervene and tried to go in between as a reflex. She was 4.9 feet, 45 kg.
I didn't want to intervene because obviously, the guy I knew was behaving like shit, so it would have to happen at some point. And I was neither willing to get injured, nor willing to stop having a good time for a stupid guy.
My gf went to separate them (what a joke), the guy was reaaally mad, and I had to go in between to protect her. Fortunately, I was not drunk, and he saw it, he saw that I was not any trouble, and I apologized for the stupid guy, offered him a drink for the inconvenience, and was lucky enough that he had self control.
After that, I went outside the club, kicked the stupid guy out, and told security to not let him come back inside, that he was looking for trouble (not very nice). And I had a discussion with her. And I told her that because of her being stupid, I could have lost her, she could be in the hospital, that her family would suffer... Or that because of her, I might be bleeding on the ground, and end up dead, in the coma, crippled for life. And I taught her that the world she knows is a microcosm, that there is violence in reality, and sometimes, not paying attention is enough to die. From that day on, she was paying attention to her surrounding, not trying to be a hero. She used to enter her car in the middle of the night in a city, checking her phone like it was safe, before leaving. I taught her that before opening the car, she should make sure that she is safe, open and lock the door as fast as possible, and to leave right away. To be extremely vigilant at a traffic light, and be ready to leave if something happens. To check as far as possible, and if something feels weird, weird behaviour of cars around, be ready for anything.
Just FYI, I'm talking about Switzerland, so quite a safe country, but still... Shit happens.
But I just wanted to share that story. Someone being ignorant isn't the problem. If she refused to learn and to understand that there were risks, danger around, I would not have made any of the efforts. But I would assume from your comment that you grew up in an environment where everyone is fully aware of the violence risk? If so, just understand that it's youtube, people comment from all around the world, and we don't face the same reality.
@@fabr5747 You managed to de-escalate, best outcome. Only happened because you were willing to assume some risk. Seems like everyone nowadays is just looking out for their own, which is not good for social advancement.
There was a guy in my city that was a local boxer and tough guy ( he was very good in the ring in those amateur tournaments) and he went to a bar and some dudes started teasing him and instead of leaving with his pride a little smudged he went and fought the 2 dudes since he was confident in himself, he beat them up really good but in about an hour they cam back and stabbed him to death.

One of my brothers' close school friends got in a fight over 10 years ago. He punched the guy in the face, and that guy didn't wake up after being knocked out. My brothers' friend was charged, sentenced, and is still in prison today. He was late teens when the incident took place. Now he's in his 30s, still behind bars. I was young when it happened, so I only heard about it years later, and one thing my brother told me was that he avoided violence at all costs after that. Last year, a couple was arguing in his apartment building, and he heard them get physical; he went out to check on the girl the first time he listened to the altercation against his better judgment because he couldn't stand to hear such a thing taking place. She turned on him instantly, and he ended up in a dangerous situation with the couple ganging up on him and making accusations. Since then, he has minded his business whenever he hears the couple fighting. Be smart.

Of all the languages in the world, you chose to speak FACTS.
My mother always taught us that you don't pick a fight with someone unless you're willing to go to jail, the hospital or the morgue. A brave corpse never rescued anyone.
I agree. Before taking any action you should consider the worst outcome from that action and then decide if you still want to do it. This can be applied to many other areas. For example, a friend or relative may ask you to lend them money. You should ask yourself "Am I okay with never getting this money back?" Because you may never get it back. If you aren't okay with that then do not loan the money.
Can I genuinely ask you this question, no racism or bigotry involved. FYI, I am from Switzerland, rather safe in theory, and a white man.
So the question is, are you American? Do you think that you were taught this because you're American, and stories like this happen all over the place? Is it because you might be black in the US, and no matter the circumstances, if there is violence involved, you're likely to end up in jail even if you're criminally innocent?
I would like to visit the US, and your comment seemed interesting for my understanding of the environment. And here, we have lots of guns, but guns are not considered as an appropriate self defence tool, so barely anyone dies of firearms, and the ones that do are suicides, or tragedies within a household typically. So in my reflexes developed over time, guns have never been a major risk in interactions.
@@fabr5747 Switzerland is a lovely country. I skiied there decades ago. As for me, I am a white male American. I haven't owned a firearm in over 35 years. As boys my Mother taught me and my brothers to avoid physical conflict if at all possible. She taught us never to strike the first blow, however she also taught us that we should defend ourselves, and when defending ourselves we were to use any means necessary until the agressor was no longer a threat.
I am neither pro nor anti gun anymore than I am I pro or anti hammer. They are both tools with an intended purpose. That said, if you are coming to America my advice is to avoid the major cities. That is where our country warehouses all the crazy people. It's very easy to enjoy everything America has to offer without ever setting foot in a major city. I've lived for over 60 years in this country and have never once been threatened with a firearm. The vast majority of America is not like what you see on the News.
@@simdoughnut659 Thank you for your answer, really appreciate. Definitely Switzerland is a nice place to be.
I agree on your opinion about guns. I would just say that in the US, there are issues with people not seeming fit to own them. And that's the real issue. Not the existence of the tool.
Well, good news for me I'm much more into going to see the nature than the cities. If I travel, I want to see the most gorgeous locations, not the most crowded cities.

100% true. I grew up in the hood, and glory to God, I got myself out. But I’ve lived through countless of these nightmare scenarios, but managing my responses. I got a pistol at 21, and never had to shoot anyone with it- because I learned how to see these things before they happen, and proactively avoid them. I worked at this athletic club, when I was 19-21. One day, a guy comes in and he’s getting crazy with me, getting in my face, etc. I’m thinking, “okay, this guys crazy”, because I’m 20 years old, SHREDDED(I was a personal trainer, former CQC in the Airforce), and I’m 6’4, 250 lbs. Guy looks like he’s on crack and he’s about 6’0, 120 lbs. I have a bit of a temper, so I tell him to get out. He says “make me”. I notice he’s wearing baggy clothes, hand in his left pocket, and his pupils are dilated. My gun is behind the counter, about 10 feet away from us, and in a locked case- so it’s useless to me. I say “Sir, what can I do to make this right? I don’t want any trouble and I’m not a bouncer, so I’m not going to try to kick you out.” He pulls his hand out of his pocket and has a pocket knife, and says “yeah, that’s right n*gga, you gon run yo pockets tho”, as he steps forward and I instinctively step back. I’m wearing basketball shorts, my wallet is in a locker, and I don’t even carry cash in it, which I tell him. A few of my other trainers finally come up, and he leaves.
Well, about an hour later, that guy murdered the female leasing agent at the apartment complex, took her keys, went to her apartment, killed her BABY, cut it into pieces and threw it in a dumpster- before her husband got home. He was in a gang and had 2 other men helping him, one with a gun. They had the swat team come in and put holes in each of them with sniper rifles.
I may have been way bigger than that woman he killed, but he had 2 other guys and a gun waiting for me. And I was so lucky ONLY because I had numbers on my side, and I was calm. That guy could’ve easily stabbed me in the neck and I would’ve been done.
The point is that you need to stay safe. Use the buddy system. Legally carry. Be calm, and deescalate. Otherwise, you’re just talking shit/or digging yourself an early grave.
What's the person's name hmm? A case like that is clearly going to be documented so want to see the details.
Of course, no response to validate details...

Much like the guys who supposedly got shot, there’s a lot of holes to your story. In addition to the comments above me, how was it that the guy and his gang members were shot by SWAT almost instantly after they committed their crimes? If they had done all that, they wouldve already escaped and been on a chase by the cops. Sounds very off. Not to mention you not replying to anyone

The Vikings had a saying: "When facing 1, stand your ground. When facing 2, move your foot (stay on the move), when facing 3 (or more) RUN!!!"

@@iBloodxHunter listen to the message
This advice is very contextual. As a person who's lived in both dangerous and "civilised" places the answer to scumbags needs to be different in each place. In dangerous countries better keep your head low and move out the way asap. But in soft places being meek is actually counterproductive. Most criminals in these environments are aware of the fact that they can't kill you unless they wanna go to jail for half their lives over nothing. They're very used to robbing people who don't resist or fight back and therefore are not as proficient handling actual violence as one might think. I found in these situations going full aggro (without actually harming anyone) tends to intimidate or discourage them, because they know they can rob the next fool on the block without effort.
I was once in a situation where 5 dudes tried to mug me and my friend as we were smoking weed on some bushes, it wasn't a straight out robbery and more of a "what you got there?" kind of situation where they slowly intimidate you into giving them your money. Kept my chill, offered them a puff, till one of the guys started straight out opening a pocket in my backpack (that I had on), I realised then and there that if I didn't resist these guys were gonna have us go through a real bad time. Thankfully I was a skater back then, so I straight up pushed the guy back, picked up ma skateboard and started yelling at them to fuck off, that I was gonna fuck em up, etc. etc. They got startled because the flash from chill to ultraviolent was too sudden and pissed off. Granted, we're talking about 20 something year olds in a civilised country, at best they would be packing knives, and they wouldn't have the balls to actually use them. But if you let them grow braver at your meekness they can actually turn dangerous. So idk, depends where you are. Whenever I had a bad situation in a place with real criminals I just got robbed like a bitch a gtfo. xD
Not to long ago I was walking around the streets at night and saw a dude knock out his girlfriend and kick her while she was down, so I walked around a corner and called the cops and an ambulance.
When I told people this story 9/10 people looked at me like I was a coward, and asked, "Why did you walk away. Why didn't you fight him?"
Even after I tried to explain to them that fighting wasn't a priority, getting her medical attention was. And if I'm fighting I'm not helping, and if I get knocked out I'm not helping and now there's two people that need help. They still looked at me like I wasn't a man.
Some people just don't understand how easy it is to die or get permanently damaged from a single punch.
Not sure if you read this but thought it is worth the share. 100% you did the right thing. My friend was in the exact same situation, jumped in and beat the guy to fuck. Felt a few knocks to his head, its the guys friends right? Nope, it was the woman. He shoves her away and starts leaving and police come. He tells the story, I was helping her and she says no, you attacked me and my bf for no reason. He got a 6 month sentence, lost his job and apartment. It isnt worth it.
U absolutely did the right thing...!
Yea but at the same time he obviously wasnt armed. I'd call myself and anyone else pussy if I walked away and called the cops
I appreciate you at least calling. Some people just look the other way and run.
Fuck them. People who say that are the biggest pussies who wouldn't do a damn thing, not even call police and ambulance.
You did the correct thing.
Survival of the fittest does not always mean survival of the strongest/bravest. It means survival of the one who is sometimes smart, sometimes cowardly, sometimes brave, and sometimes smallest or biggest. In the end, it means survival of the one who is ALIVE. That is the key word in all this. You need to stay ALIVE.
I agree.
Survival of the chameleon. The one trait I’d credit the most for getting me this far in life. A lot of people like to say they “Don’t compromise or change for anyone” they’re “always true to themselves” they “tell it like it is no matter what”. Yeah, because they’re privileged enough to act that way, or they haven’t met The Wrong One yet.

Cops hates this stuff, when civils are "punishing" with their feasts someone else who caused a trouble. They are going to end up in the same punishment cathegory....
When I lived in Belgium for a time my girlfriend there lived next to gas station. And I remember how terrifying it was to hear some of the stories about people every year breaking in to steal the little money from the register. And how there were laws in place there to say that you cannot inact violence of any kind of the person that breaks in, that you have to let them take the money and wait for the cops to arrive.
Last time I heard it took them 5-7minutes to arrive by then the criminals were gone.
Eventually they caught all but one of them, and made everyone nervous...so it further led to my girlfriend's aunt and uncle (who worked there also) purchasing handguns, which took awhile to get through processing, and installing a smoke machine with an alarm to go off as well.
I've heard other stories as well but as an American it was always ridiculous to me of how under no circumstances they say there in Belgium you cannot defend yourself, not even mace.

I had to stop inter-familial violence many times throughout my childhood, so jumping into action has become second nature to me. My husband however is a "grab your shit and run" type of person. Most recently we were running on a walking trail that eventually goes under a bridge. On the bridge is a road that has a restaurant very close by. You can smell the food from the walking trail. We heard yelling which immediately activated my PTSD and got my adrenalin pumping, but I couldn't see what was happening because the yelling was coming from the restaurant next to the bridge, and we were under the bridge. I was going to run up the stairs leading to the road to see what was happening because it sounded like someone was in danger. My husband grabbed my hand and made me keep walking, saying I have no idea what was happening and I'd blindly be putting myself, and him, in danger. In that moment, I resented him. The next day I read in the local newspaper that a man held his ex-girlfriend hostage at gunpoint behind the restaurant and the local police were able to intervene and save the girlfriend and arrest the guy. Had I run up those stairs, who knows what would've happened. And I appreciated that my husband held me back from blindly running into a dangerous situation.

So if their life is worthless and they have nothing to lose, why would they hesitate to hurt someone else who's life is equally worthless to them?
That's the problem with creating hopeless people who feel like they have nothing of value to lose. If you don't believe things can really get better or worse, then nothing you do really matters. So there's no reason not to do terrible things, because it doesn't really matter.

After seeing the video I can say that I would not have put myself in harms way. I'm out numbered and I have little fighting experience. I have my CPL and even if I was carrying I still would've just called the cops and let them deal with it.
I heard something similar about lifeguards, that if the person they're rescuing is panicking and threatening to drown them both by not staying still and letting the lifeguard rescue them... they're supposed to push them away so they don't drown with them.
Apparently, there have been too many cases of lifeguards being dragged down by the person they're rescuing and drowning with them.
Very true even having CPL I would not intervene it would probably end up being a bad ending either way it went down

Facts!
I was homeschooled but my dad grew up in the country and a friend of mine grew of in a slightly more ghetto area.
My friend wasn’t in a poor family but they were like a few miles away from a nice neighborhood to the ghettos. He told me that I had so many openings and was always unsure about eating at the center of a restaurant instead of at a corner. He didn’t live a crazy gangster life but he and his friend group were once mistaken to be somehow copying some random gang. They almost got killed by a drive-by. My friend believes they were gonna get out of the car if he hadn’t shot back with a gun of his own, but he could have been exaggerating things for all I know.
The reason I mention my dad’s country life is because he actually did live a bit of a gangster life, and he has the scars and friends to prove it, which is very ironic to me because he’s a professional doctor who’s his own boss.
Anyways, with his experience, he was very blatant with me about the real dangers of the world, and basically did the classic, “There is no safe place, only safe people.” only in a much longer drawn out speech.
Honestly, I consider it a blessing that I had access to people with experience that this stuff isn’t safe and that you shouldn’t try to be the hero. Moral or not, the world doesn’t care. You get ganged on, you get outgunned. It is never gonna be on your time at the best situation

Yeah, I did something like that in Morocco. I was living in a home whereas my Wife and I occupied the top floor and another couple occupied the bottom floor. The couple on the bottom floor, every night he'd beat his Wife. I could hear her screams. I could hit the smacks and thuds. It was horrific. Naive Canadian me, despite my Moroccan wife pleading that I ignore it, decided it would be a good idea to confront the husband. It came to a showdown between the two of us. He clearly was the short-fuse type. He could have grabbed a knife, and look how stupid the outcome of that would have been. Calling the authorities? HA! In Morocco a husband has a right to beat his wife. The police are on his side. I think the only thing that saved me was that I was an "etranger" (foreigner). Because the State would not have been on his side as Morocco and Canada has strengthening ties economically. A story of a murdered Canadian would harm those ties (potentially). The Moroccan Government guards and protects foreigners from places like Canada.
I was stupid. Dumbest thing I ever did was punch the guy. He went down with the first hit. I got lucky. Because they have these safety patrols and they "fixed" everything after a sum was paid.
Canadians don't know the real world. My fellow Canucks are super naive. Complaining about "micro-aggressions" in a world of unimaginable violence. Not realizing how good they actually have it. Not that things can't get better but at some point you end up doing more harm than good when you try and go too far too quickly.
In other news, Morocco is progressing rather quickly. They have new laws that protect Women. Their society is changing but change ought to take time. Too fast and it backfires.

I literally had to explain this to my friends boyfriend. He asked me what action I would take if I saw someone about to be attacked with a machete in broad day light. And I said I would asses the situation. I wouldn't just jump in to try and save a stranger. Especially if I didn't feel confident I could do anything anyway. I also mentioned that I have a son and don't want to potentially leave him without a father. And he was like " but he would grow up knowing his dad was a hero" and I said "No, I would rather BE IN his life, than leave him with some story. No matter how nice or flattering".
He seems a bit dim. Unless you have a gun, taking on a psycho with a machete is suicide. You're only a hero if you save the guy, unless you have extreme training and supreme confidence, and... well weapons, you're not saving anyone. Just adding to a madman's casualty list. I think the normal response would be to call the police, and "maybe" yell at the top of your lungs if its a crowded area and get everyone to scatter the fuck away from an armed lunatic.

I have been in a similar situation where I intervened. I was a friend's house party and another one of my friend's was being sexually harassed by some dudes outside where there was no one I knew smoking outside. So what I did was I went up and asked for a cigarette, and I told one of the guys I was gonna get that girl by the end of the night and I in front of everyone "seduced her". I did not go act aggressively, I did not go in without a plan, I used their Machismo to get her out of there safely. My heart was beating out of my chest and it was extremely scary. Don't be stupid and engage a big group of guys. Be smart or don't act. Aba and Preach are right, use your brain. If you are more passive and act friendly, you are more likely to solve a problem then acting aggressively. I also knew the girl, we went to the party together and she trusted me. Don't be a hero, but that doesn't mean you don't act, just don't resort to violence, because you vs a group of guys, their violence will win not yours. Call the cops, get more dudes, integrate into the group if you can to help them without stepping on their toes. More so, if you don't know the area, its better not to act then to act stupidly.

Two years ago, 5AM, I am waiting in the dark for the bus. A guy across the street is looking all nervous, pacing around and looking around. It was as if he were waiting for someone and he was. About 5 minutes later a pickup truck pulls up, four guys and a woman jump out.
That guy I saw pacing and some other guy from the pickup truck start fist fighting. I tell myself, "It's an agreed too fight. Stay out of it." I stayed out of it. One guy got his ass kicked. Oh well. That's the price of agreeing to fight someone.
No I did not call the cops. Whatever those two were fighting over must have been important enough to fist fight at 5AM by a bus stop. Not in someone's back yard. Not on the edge of town. Rather in the heart of the town where more and more people were going to gather to catch the bus.
