    If I have to take a beating to ensure safety, so be it.

      Kendall, you are a dumbfuck. I have seen you post on several of these, and your responses were all either dumb, insensitive, steriotypical, or just fucking irrational. Good day, bitch.

    I could recover from the beating. And who knows? Maybe the guy I just saved has enough money to not only pay my medical bills but get me facial reconstruction surgery. Plus I would have some bad ass scars and a great story.

    If I died in the beating, I'll be glad, because then I'll never have to go back to the messed-up world where people kill you when you do a good thing.

    I do apologize straight away but I do believe the police should intervene and stop sitting on their lazy ass eating doughnuts or getting in on the take or beating protestors. I think the cops should get there on time and save the day. It's their job! But still...I pick this choice even though it says they didn't get there on time

      think about their job, how long does it take to beat someone up? couple minutes? now how are the cops supposed to get there within minutes of an action. they are not everywhere as it seems and probably the closest cop is miles away.

      I wouldn't do it if I thought the police would get there, if I knew he was definitely about to die then of course I would.

    Not because I'm a good person, but I am not inconspicuous, and often act before thinking. If I didn't trip and cry on my way to a phone, I'd yell at them to stop and then attempt to run away. My only hope is if they trip on their obnoxiously baggy pants.

    I would rather intervene and save a life... but that's probably not what I would actually do, because I'm a coward.

    Calling the police is the responsible thing to do, one should avoid taking the law into their own hands unless trained.

    How do you know that the stranger is getting beat up for a not good reason or maybe the gang had a reason to beat him up maybe he killed one of their family members you never know but they are getting beat up for a reason

    It wasn't a gang but I'm a medium sized female and I stopped a big guy who was beating on another guy. Luckily, he didn't do anything, but he definitely could've kicked my ass.

    think about this guys. if the cops don't make it in time then that means the guy died, so if you take on an equally horrific beating then that means u die to.

      But it says "Save a life" which means he lives, and you take an equal beating, which means you also live.

    I'd be the one to die so the stranger won't take a beating and the stranger will become a witness and everyone or just 3 people will remember a brutal sacrifice.
