This is what I would hope, and what I would hope most civilians would do. if a serious, bleeding or broken bone injury is in the works, intervene.

As long as it is genuinely two idiots just having a go at each other, yes, let them go at it. maybe nobody will die. but when it changes to only one combatant and one man on the ropes, that's when I believe that it might be time to step in.

I knew this guy, he was kind of dim, but he was absolutely unbelievable. The guy benched 200. In the seventies, pre steroids. I watched both him and his brother fight, they had learned while in korea with their father who was serving there. So, in case you can't get the article, two people beat the peas out of him and he died later.

No, I couldn't have stopped it, but I wish that someone was there, he was a friend. The guys who killed him have never been found out.
