Call The Police and start to scream Fire!!!
This. It supposedly works better than yelling help.
Third. Actually, any distraction would be good since the police wouldn't possibly come quick enough to save to person from any harm.
Like a sudden parade.
I'm the only one who voted for 4. 😐
Most people wouldn't do anything.

You do have a point, kakashi... but in situations like these I don't think straight and lately I am realizing that I change sides quite often... I tend to choose the side which is loosing 🤣
So I would go and help... even knowing I would get my ass kicked

I'd just run in and shout "THE COPS ARE COMING" and if that doesn't work I'll run in and try saving the girl even though I'd get my ass kicked.

I'd call the police first, and then rush in to stall for some time cause i probably wouldn't be able to take them.
Common sense just isn't that common
...HA!
Where I come from, if by the rare chance a woman gets jumped...
She probably deserved it. (Put it together yourself)
Now if she was getting raped or somethin... I'd probably intervene... With a drop kick to the guys cerebellum.

no he doesn't. That's just rationalization.
The correct thing to do is to call the police. No matter who that person might be. She might be a rapist, yes. Or she might be a good doctor who saved hundreds of people from dying.
Also looks at it from another point of view. If it was you getting attacked. Wouldn't you want the people around you to at least try to call the police?
I remember one time when a friend of mine got beaten by 4 or 5 thugs with bats. They broke a couple of his bones because they found out he was gay. Of course all the bystanders just watched. They didn't even bother to call the police. He's the nicest person you would ever meet and these bystanders just pretended they saw nothing. They are the real cowards.
I feel somewhat distrubed by the amount of people who wouldn't even bother to cal lthe police.....it's the least you can do.......and you wouldn't get hurt in the process..... 🙁 I guess that's why things like this still happens to people.

I take issue with the wording of the survey. If someone is being attacked by several people, the worst thing I could do for the person getting attacked is try to fight. If it were one attacker, maybe this would be the right thing, but all I, or most people, could do against a group is make them angry. I would call the police, not because "I want to save my own skin" but because any other course of action would make the situation worse.
There are exceptions of course. For example, I came across a situation like this while driving down an alley late at night. I opened the door of my car, and let the victim jump in, then quickly drove off to a brightly lit crowded nearby mall and let her out. Since the thugs were on foot, I actually had a way to save the person, But if I wasn't in a car, I would have called the police.

Depends on how many thugs and if I was alone or not. If it was maybe two, I'd definitely try to help, but more than that... no, unless there is someone with me. I'm not biting off more than I can chew so that I can get killed or something.

I voted one but i would have done both 1 & 2 probably - that and it is not like i would go and just fight several guys empty handed - i would def have at least a makeshift weapon to beat some ass

Seconded. In most cases rushing in like an idiot and trying to fight the attackers off would be the worst thing you could do. You'd just end up getting your ass kicked by thugs who outnumber you and are in all likelihood more experienced and better at fighting than you. And that's assuming they aren't armed. At best you'd just land yourself in a world of hurt while angering them, making things worse for the victim. At worst you'd get you and her killed.
This isn't an anime. The sad fact is that in such a situation where you're on foot and the only one around, there really isn't anything you can do to help the victim in most cases. You can and should call the police, but they aren't going to get there in time, and aren't obligated to help anyway. The best you can hope for is to draw their attention away if you think you're fast enough, or help identify the attackers when they're done.
The question is silly to begin with.

The choices may be poorly worded. But nevertheless I think we get the basic meaning. And we can also see what kind of people who have on this forum.
But I'm proud to be on a forum with a mass majority that is at least willing to help anyone in trouble, like calling the police. 😁
I think this video does justice to this article.

It happens, and i was assuming it wasn't really gender specific...but i guess it was.
@Tps, yea, the panda guy actually has a point, i tend to rationalize things to try and make myself feel better about the choices i make.
but, it still doesn't change that i could be helping a rapist/murderer or something like that.
