Would you have jumped in to pull these women apart? Good entertainment is the joy of Christmas!! By the way, both women walked away from this; they were both gone by the time the police got there. The fight was over a Play Station.

That last part with the feet reminded me of a Rick Flair move.

Don’t know how to post videos, but you should look up homeless man Kung fu fighting cops on YouTube. A classic pants pisser!

Over a PlayStation? Life is cheap.

You think that's bad - I worked in Downtown Brooklyn - it was like that EVERYDAY - first they flexx verbally, then it escalates, friend intervenes->does nothing - more flexxing - Fuse - BINGO? Bystanders look on and watch the fire rather than putting it out?

What I really want to say would get me banned !

I don't see any upside in getting involved in that and plenty of potential downsides. I would have been headihg the other direction.

 

[Pit&Pipes]

Nope, just watch and then leave... Can’t fix crazy!!

 

[bnichols23]

Hate to say, buying with hoosier & pit. I ain't gettin' involved in no crazy!

You couldn’t pay me enough to get involved. In the crazy litigious world we live in, if you get involved you’d get sued for infringement of someone’s right to be an asshole and with an added charge of exercising common sense in public.

I have insurance in case I get involved in a self defense shooting nowhere in the literature does it say I’m insured for involving myself in pure stupidity.

 

[verporchting]

Nope. Hard pass.

 

[stokesdale]

I like the guy who moves in front of them while they are on the ground and takes a selfie, that would probably be me if I knew how to work my cell camera

As long as they are fighting neck and neck I'd obviously stay back.. If one started really getting the best of the other, kicking to the head ect. I'd probally try to pull them apart. Damn a lawyer, I'd try to do what's right.

But hey, I don't have a twitterbook account.. If I did I guess the common thing to do would be to video it and post it for likes..

But what if there was a fire hose handy?

From my meagre brush with being a witness in court, you want nothing to do with this. You might contact the "authorities" from a safe distance. Even as a passerby witness, after a few minutes on the bench, you might find you are suspected of assassinating President Abraham Lincoln. If that is useful to them in some way. And the perp may be awarded a settlement to buy a new car. They call it "good lawyering." With the lawyer walking away with enough to buy a vacation home.

My names’ Bennett and I’m not in it!

the funny thing is often times these the fight was over a PlayStation or blah blah blah useless thing are often incorrect. Often when it's reported that way it's really the final straw. Either the people already know each other and it's not the PlayStation but that particular bitch ruining your day one more time. Like 90 percent of the black Friday fights really are fights that have been waiting to happen and the sales just brought the wrong people together. Or the people are already having a bad day. There are so many videos that cut off the beginning and then replacing the context with the most scandalous thing they can think up. And the most useless question is what would you do? People answer with what they wish they would do. It seems like when you are in one of those emergent situations you make a choice quickly and more automatically and less critically (you don't really think so much as act one way or the other.

Reminds me of what every single bouncer ever has told me. That the worst thing is breaking up a girl fight. Guys fight each other and there might be a stray elbow. Ladies in fights lash out at whatever is in the way. So you really have to ask if you'll even accomplish anything and if it's worth getting your face scratched off.
