Has it ever occurred to you that some people can't take out a group of thugs?...

I'd just ignore it. I'd rather not risk myself for someone I don't even know. Of course, this would/might make me a coward. But, hey. I don't have anything to do with it. I'm sure someone will do something about it. Though, even if I ignore it what's happening isn't going to go away. But... OH WELL. Because, I tend to not care too much.

woa, not even calling the police...
so when one day youll be gangraped by biig YMCA men and youll see a guy happily recording the scene with his iphone to put the video on youtube afterwards instead of helping you, dont complain eh! 🤣

The problem is when everyone thinks that someone else is going to help and in the end no one does. This actually happens a lot especially when there are many people around. There have been many cases where someone gets attacked and people let it happen then later everyone wonders why no one did anything.
I would call the police. Even if they don't catch the attackers they can still help the person if they make it out alive.

Bystander effect? More people there are, less likely they'd help. That's why everyone should at least try to make a phone call to the police when they see something like that happening. Geez, why do some people think apathy is cool or acceptable in cases like these... >:-(

Well that's why the police constantly reminds you that it's OK to call them more than once about a situation. They encourage it even. Going back to the original question though, I would call the police. Though I would like to think that I would save the person no matter who she was, fighting off a whole group of thugs is for the capable, martial arts experts, and/or people with a gun. I'm not really any of those kinds so I would just be adding more victims to the problem.

Fight them off...with words xD
If they intend to get physical, then I'll fight...as long as they're not using weapons though =P

I will call the police immediately.
there is no BUTS here. nothing can justifies ignoring such a thing. if you see some one is getting attacked, you have to help her/him by using the best ways you can find at the moment.
now I read this, I remember that it happened for me once. some thief attacked our neighbor's little girl while she was sleeping in her room and I heard her screaming through my half closed window. I was so shocked that it took me a minute to get what was really going on. i shouted as loud as I could and threw my book at her window. I know it was kind of silly act but I was hoping maybe I could distract him from attacking her while my mom was calling the police. :-s

You both are right, I am quite a nosy person and my friends often ask me why saying that I should "leave it for the next guy"... but what if the next guy also thinks the same? And so on... Instead I think "if not me then who?", by thinking that at least one person will care and if the next guy thinks the same then things are going quite good 😛

I don't see why it necessarily has to be a woman, it could happen to a guy too, no? So, it'd be better to phrase it as 'if you see a person getting beaten up...'
I wonder if that would make a difference. Gender. 🤣

Unless they all had knives or guns I'd probably jump in. I've always enjoyed a good scuffle, and hitting people with a justified reason? Kickass.

I think it deffinetely would make a difference, if not by the fact that guys would help second intentions whille helping the girl then by the collective thinking of women can't deffend themselves or their on

I'd scream and shout, and call the police. If there was some big burly guy nearby, I'd bother him into saving her. If it was just me, I'd probably run at them all crazy and small munchkin like. But I'd probably get my ass whooped so I'd make sure that would be that last choice. But under no circumstances would I just walk away or something.
depends on how many thugs and if i have a desert eagle in my hand...but prob 2....i dont like getting involved in things that arnt my buisness 😐
So basically to vanquish the world of evil you must have mega sex with a girl then your soul is taken...yes
