considering the extreme luck of my being there to see it in the first place, a lot less than would have happened if I didn't call the police. You have to realize there are no guarrantees in life, but society does operate within certain guidelines. I can yell for help, draw attention to the fighting. do all the things that are required. If I had a gun, I could probably get into a gun battle too. Or at least try to intimidate with it. If I start shooting it off, then i run the risk of injuring not only nearby people, as bullets travel a long way and there are a lot of people in the city. (see liability below)
