See, i get what you're thinking. But it's just not practical. Not Real. We need to know our place...

My place is saving someone from a trauma they're going to carry with them for the rest of their lives.

You're right though Bells, it isn't easy. And you're also right that simply calling the police is probably the "right" thing to do in that it's the thing least likely to get you killed. I just don't think I could live with myself if I put my own well being so far ahead of someone else who couldn't protect themselves.

understanding the limitations of text based communications, I can understand why you think my statements would be directed at you specifically, but they aren't. They're directed at people who try and pretend we're all powerless in the face of attrocity.

I guess you fall in to that category, but it's not a personal statement against you.

I really don't care if you fashion yourself as some sort of defeatist realist or whatever. To be honest I'm more personally insulted by Bells' comments, but I guess he's just assuming that I haven't been in life or death situations before, which is a safe assumption him not knowing my life. So basically I'm just angered by this news story and by the general apathy/denial I see from people in regards to it.

The nice thing about rape is that the rapists tend toward the horizontal, which places their neck at a comfortable height to kick like a football. Hit it with your toes, that's where the power is, and since it's not a ballgame you don't have to worry about aiming. Do it right and there's one less asshole women have to be scared of. If that's not worth going to prison I don't know what is.

Everyone who has posted in this thread with the notion of "get in there and fucking take those fuckers out, without regard for your personal safety", much respect to you all.

To everyone else, I am truly shocked. How could you not do something short of smashing someones face in with a blunt instrument to stop this shit??? You do not stand around while shit like this happens, no matter the consequences.

Well yeah, but if you get your ass beat by the other 20 people and she gets raped anyways, then you are the guy in the article who probably died for that 2 1/2 hour rape. I am just saying it would be better to call the police before you try to rescue her. My objective would be to simply prevent as much harm to the girl as possible. This seems like the best way. I guess they were a bunch of 16 year olds, but all it takes is one taking out a weapon. At the very least you are a distraction so the police can get to her.

I have to say, if all I see is a group of guys with someone screaming and crying in the middle, I'd be hestiant to dive in too. I make no excuse for this, this is cowardly. I'm a cowardly person. I would certainly call the cops, and try to get more immediate help, however, and the fact that no one did even that is really what's appaling. It wouldn't have carried any risk with it at all.

I like to imagine I would bust some heads in, but I fully accept that I might not. Who knows.

True, true, but I would use a strong kick to the stomach to knock him off and wind him. Then use a series of swift, strong foot stomps to destroy his reproductive capability. If he has friends, knee them in the face while they're rising, and repeat the stomping.

But seriously, this is completely and totally horrible.

Just throwin' that out there.

But Fifth, how then will we ever get masked vigilante hero types running around patrolling the streets at night and keeping us all safe?? Are you really going to say you're against the idea of The Goddamn Batman??!!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who came to the realisation that by this point his dick would be completely and readily exposed for a swift crunching.

I think you;re forgetting most people about to be raped probably aren't exactly thinking clearly and are freaked out for their lives. I mean, it's a scary ordeal and you may not be in a good mental capacity to realize what you can actually do to stop em. And usually you get beaten up to prevent you from fighting before the rape actually happens.
