If you want to offer to escort the lady someplace else, great, but wading in punching and kicking? Are you serious?

Seems like someone didn't read the post. Try rereading it and looking for words like "wondered if" and "tempted to". In your effort to derail the thread it seems you entirely missed the point of the questions so I'll ask them again. What would you do in this situation? Is an armed citizen less tempted to do physical violence to protect others or more tempted?
To the others who've replied: The whole setup appeared to me to be something which was intended to deliberately provoke response from passers by. The sort of verbiage, body language and threat level would have been very dangerous if it had been real, on the level of what hardtarget and bestbod85 discussed. To me it does sound like assault, the sort of thing that one should call the police about but I'm talking about emotions and not thinking.
