What is up with people?!

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 2:45 pm

Actually, OP, what people did was probably the right thing. Randomly attacking/hurting someone just because they are throwing computer screens..?
That could land YOU a lawsuit if he played his cards right and you injured him.
Is that messed up? Yeah.
Welcome to America though. That happens all the time.
And anyway, if he was in a rage and throwing things about and had a adrenaline rush *he was probably a Redguard*, the size of his arms really wouldn't matter. I know a few skinny guys who know how to fight pretty good. Not always about size/bulk/strength. Speed and Agility come in there too. He might have been a Bosmer. :shrug:

People in general are pussies. Your average person is a coward that will shy away from a fight and find any possible out so they don't have to confront any hostile person.

Lol. Because the measure of a man is definitely who can kick the most asses and stop fights at any given time, right?

Not at all. But I do believe that a man should be able to handle a situation like that if the need arises. If so many weren't cowards you wouldn't see as much of this kind of thing. Now am I saying if a guy comes into your office or hijacks your plane with a gun should you stand up, no, you will probably get shot. But if a guy is just tossing [censored] around and making a scene then why wouldn't you intervene? Its not about pride its about doing whats right.

Yeah but, that's not doing what's right. I guarantee you that if you try and tackle that guy and he kicks your ass, what are the police going to say to you after they get there and do their job?
They are going to call you a [censored] idiot.
When a madman is raging in a closed environment, throwing heavy objects around and breaking stuff, that's not the time for heroics. That's the time to call the police, who are trained to do exactly what you will more than likely fail to do if you actually try and step in.
If he was hurting someone, sure, I'd agree 100%. But throwing [censored] around in a fit? No thanks, not my job, not my responsibility, my responsibility as an advlt and an individual is to call the police at that point.

No,you stay away.Why would you care if he damages the corporation's goods?
You don't know who you are dealing with,he could carry a gun.
Where i live it is legal to carry CS gas sprays (not to be confused with [censored] pepper spray).

I would only intervene if it's a (decent)human's life at stake.

Yes,just because society trains them to be "non-violent" dosen't mean they can't be.

A woman's str. is just with a small amount lower than a man's.

Yes you already said that. If you want my response then here:

If you believe that you are gonna get your ass kicked by a "mad" man then don't get into it. If you believe that you can stop a guy before he cause any more harm then I believe that you are obligated to do so. [censored] what the cops or any one else will say on the matter after the fact, I personally couldn't just stand by and watch (unless I also hated the company then I would cheer him on) some people can.

You act like you have a personal vendetta against people who smash computers haha. I just don't understand that.
And..who are you to say that you could "take" someone by force without even knowing them or who/what they are as a person? That's a little immature and naive to think that you could just "kick" someones ass, to use your mindset. That is what gets people in the hospital.
Also, he could be carrying a gun? A knife? Hell, he could be a terrorist with a bomb strapped to his chest?
Charging in on him is a gud idea.

[censored] what the cops says or anyone else

Yeah..about that..

And these are all things that will go into the decision of attempting to stop him or not. Personally, I always, always have a knife on me. If I believe that the guy is carrying a weapon maybe I won't intervene. If I think he can take me down then maybe I won't, its obviously a situation by situation thing. How is it immature or naive to assess the situation (including the person involved) and come to a decision of weather you can stop it or not. You don't have to get involved if you don't want to, why is it such a big deal for you if I would?

Yeah..about that..

Dude, lol, you can't "assess" a situation like that. You can't figure out on your own if a guy is packing a knife or a gun or something worse just by "glancing" at him, I mean, how are you going to figure that out? The only way you can figure that out is if you ask the guy. Or attack him. And by that time, your life might be over because you are bleeding internally.
And no, it doesn't really matter to me if you would. I'm saying it's stupid, because it is, are you a trained fighter? A trained policeman? Probably not, so let them do the job, you know, the guys who are trained for it. You're just asking for trouble.
And at this point in the conversation there isn't really much else to be said, on my part.

Why do you think I would just "glance" at a guy and say " Oh, hes easy" or " Nope, hes defiantly holding" Its much more than that. That would be stupid and I would probably end up in the hospital or staring and not seeing.

Am I trained? No.
Do I have a good ability to judge others can do? Yes.
Do I know what I am capable of? Yes.

Would I? I don't know. It depends on the situation.

I don't think he implied that he would've knifed the guy... Knifes serve more purposes than gutting people, ya'know? (getting pesky boxes open for example :P)

All weapons have a simple rule.

Don't get it out unless you plan to use it.

You have no buisness getting it out otherwise.

That's the basic rule for all weapons.

You could get yourself killed or get other people around you killed if you do.

A knife is a tool, then a weapon. I have never and hope I never used a weapon on a person.

Romasco what's your fascination with 'corporations' and 'companies'? You always talk about these entities like they're some evil monsters whereby any action against them is considered as a benefit to mankind.

Vigilantism is a good thing only in superhero movies, OK?

Other places and times, it's a crime. We're not going to advocate carrying or brandishing weapons on these forums, especially because there is no foundation for any kind of claim of self-defense in the situation described.
