Would you do what Charles Ramsey did under the same type of circumstances?

About two years ago I was at Walmart when a very young mother, crying with a crying baby in her arms and two more small children hanging on to her, was half-running across the parking lot. I started to go to her when a black car with heavily tinted windows screeched to a stop in front of her and a man got out, screaming threats and shaking his fists. Then he started trying to pull the baby out of her arms, yelling obscenities and "these kids are MINE -"

I literally did not think about it any further than, she's about 20, the babies are tiny, I'm 66 ... no contest - and waded in between them. It wasn't courage exactly - more a reflex. Before I could get more than cursed at, two police cruisers swept in and I left it to the professionals.

I still don't know what I would've done if it had gotten dicey.

I think I would. Those of us that have been intimate with pain often are the ones that step up to the plate as we don't wish to see others suffer.

You better believe it!

I'm reminded of an incident several years ago in which some friends and I were walking around a nature center on a warm and sunny day. Upon returning to the parking area, we were walking towards our vehicle when we heard a woman's voice screaming for help from the car parked next to ours. I and a few others immediately walked over to see if we could help, only to find we were facing a car full of drunken idiots who immediately started laughing at us for taking them seriously. As we turned away and piled into our own vehicle, I could hear the woman sarcastically comment to her companions, words to the effect of "What, did they think I was serious? Some people just can't take a joke."

This is not to say that, upon hearing cries for help, I might not respond again. I almost certainly would. But I can kind of understand why some people might not.

I think I would. I hope I would.

I’m a coward but I’m so glad there are people like him around. Blessings.

It's hard to know whether i'd have busted my way in or called the police? But i sure would have done something.

I def would. I assist random people all the time and my husband insists that I will be killed doing it but I feel like I wont. Besides lifestyle not worth living if we cant help each other.

Yes. That story makes me mad every time I hear it.

Idk but i hate creepy neighbors
