Would you break up a physical fight between a couple??

[I.A.S.K.]

Breaking up fights is on a case by case basis for me.

1. A fight between 2 men-- If I dont know them then I will leave it alone. If I feel like the cops need to be involved I'll call, but for the most part I just mind my own business. (Now if one guy is getting jumped by multiple guys I'll call the cops. I saw a group of like 15 guys jump this one kid for NO reason outside of a skating rink and couldnt do anything and I refuse to be put in that situation again).
If I do know one or both of the men then I'll break it up or If the man I know is losing then I'm jumpin in (with some form of weapon of course).

2. A fight between 2 women-- If I dont know them I treat the situation the same way I'd treat 2 men I dont know.

2 women I do know-- I'll break it up because I cant really fight for one or the other and I'm not about to let them mess each other up.

1 woman I know and 1 woman I dont-- If my friend is beatin the other girl down then I'll watch until I feel like the other girl has gotten enough then I'll pull my friend up. If my friend is losing then I'll come in and nicely break it up with a fist to the other girls face.

1 woman I know and more than one woman I dont-- I'm comin in swingin and throwin bows. and IF anyone that we know doesnt jump in too then when I finish with the hoodrats that started the fight Imma start whoopin more behind.


3. A fight between a man and a woman-- I dont consider this a fight. This is a crime. If I dont know either of them and she seems to be physically ok then I'll leave it alone. If it seems like it will escalate then I'll call the cops.

A fight between a man I know and a woman I dont-- She MUST have started with him and he will probably yell back at her, but it would never get physical for him. If she is putting her hands on him and he's not doing anything then I'll try to find a way to extract him from the situation and if that isnt possible then I'm goin to step to her and woman to woman we're either going to talk and end it or I'm going to end it.

A fight between a woman I know and a man I don't-- If its physical then I'm jumpin in with all hands feet and weapons ready and then callin the cops. If it is not physical then I will remove her from the situation and threaten him with severe bodily harm, calling the cops, and calling some of my peeps.

A fight between a man and woman I know-- I'll probably remove her from the situation and yell at him for losing his mind.

Hello all. I'm not new to GC cause I've been reading these posts for years but I saw this thread and i just had to join in!

Well:

A woman and a man: I'd call the police or a strong looking dude in the vicinity to calm the situation down

Two dudes: sit back at a safe distance and watch...if guns come out: I'm out!!!

Two Girls: now that's a whole different story. I am neither watching a fight nor breaking one of them hos up anymore! I've learned my lesson with that. here's the story:

So two weeks before i left for college (07) there was a big party with some people from my high school. I personally felt like i was too old to be there being a recent high school graduate but me and a few of my friends went cause we knew the girl throwing it. Now everybody knew my friend let's call her K didn't like this girl named N but N came to this party anyways. The week before the party N was going around telling people that K and my other friend J wanted to jump her when J never really even had a problem with the girl since she played sports with her. I didn't have a problem with N either since she also played sports with me. As a matter of fact I had a short conversation with N.

Well after the party i went to get my car and pull it up front so i didn't have to wait for my slow ass friends. some words were exchanged and J got in the car and said "oh lord some mess finna go down!" i said "well let's get out of here then." Then K hops in the car all mad and was like N over there talkin this and that. Sure enough N was standing outside the car with a group of people just poppin off at the mouth. So my messy ass say, "so you just gone let here talk to you like that huh. Tha'ts just disrespectful" After i said those word K got her behind out the car and got in N's face. SOme other chicks got too close and looked like they were about to jump so me and J got out of the car to calm the situation down. as soon as we got to the circle K hit N. turns out with all that talk neither K now N could fight for crap. but my friend K WAS getting it handed to her lol so me and J broke it up.

Just as we are leaving for the car and the whole situation was calmed down, these 2 big, i mean HUGE girls came and beat the N the hell up. Now I saw them coming and i tried to stop it but they were just too big and N didn't see their faces because she was walking away when she was attacked. when the police came some girl who had previous beef with my friends and I told N that it was us who jumped her. So N pressed charges.

And guess who was over 18 at the time...me. and guess who got charged even though i didn't do antyhing and I hadn't had at least a detention in two years and was on scholarship in college...me.

that is why i will neve break up a fight again!

Like I.A.S.K., it would depend if I knew either or both of the people involved. As a general rule of thumb, I won't break up a fight between people I don't know UNLESS it looks very serious or if one person is being "jumped". In these cases, I try to get some sort of assistance so I won't get hurt as well.

If I know one or both of the people and the fight is physical, I feel it's my duty to break up the fight. I think that when people resort to fighting, they've stopped thinking rationally and the only method they can conjure up to relieve their pain is through physically harming someone or something. Before I knew the power of prayer and meditation, I used to get so frustrated that I would have to throw something at the wall to calm myself down.

I don't break up fights unless they are in my way.
Ok ok... if a man is hitting on a woman, it's my duty to intervene in some way... whether it be calling the cops or direct intervention has many factors involved...
