Scenario 3: Fight

Introduction

As you are walking down Memorial Drive, you see a man and a woman in front of you engrossed in conversation. Looking at each other, they do not see another man coming towards them. When he is a short distance away, he runs towards them, grabs the woman’s arm, and yells, “Leave my girlfriend alone!” The woman screams, and the man she was with balls his right hand into a fist. At that moment you catch up to them.

You can …

Stay out of it Walk away.
Get the others to vote Step between the two men.
Get the others to vote Try to pull the woman away from the man holding her arm.
Get the others to vote Take out your cell phone and call the police.
Ask to talk Stand where you are, maybe clear your throat to attract their attention, and watch.
