A couple of weekends ago, some friends and I are out walking around my college town. It is pretty quiet out, being Sunday night, but we were just enjoying ourselves. We are walking in front of some (apparently) empty bar when we hear some girl screaming and yelling at a guy to let her go... We look across the street, and this guy is grabbing the girl, despite her lamentations to the contrary. She breaks loose, runs a few steps, and he grabs her again. This happens a couple more times. By this point, the phone is out, about to dial 911, and the four of us are starting to cross the street, when three police cars arrive--apparently someone else saw and called them. Good timing.

What would you guys have done? I was pretty pissed off after the fact. Normally I try to stay out of other people's conflicts, but rape crosses the line. Messing with drunk people is generally not a good call, but I was so angry (along with the other three guys I was with... at least we outnumbered him) that I and my friends were about to go across the street and see if we could help this girl. Anyone else had a similar experience?
