Im gonna have to agree with Mael on this one... It does seem rather different sitting behind a computer and actually seeing it. When it happened, all sorts of things went through my head--is this really happening? Am I misunderstanding it? Maybe there is a reason for this. Maybe he isnt really going to rape her. What if he has a knife? A gun? What business of it is mine? <i>Is this really happening?</I>
Like I said, I kind of sat there with a dumb stare on my face for a few seconds before the brain kicked in and registered that yes, this was really happening, and yes, it was clearly a case of attempted rape. Once that happened, things started to move--phone came out, started to cross the street.
Looking back on it now, it seems easy to say "sure, cross the street and beat the shit out of him." Its a little bit different there. Three weeks ago, I would have answered this thread the same way--kick his ass. Now, Im not so sure.
