Almost a huge fight..
Posted on 10. Jan, 2010
Today I was out with my brothers to McDonalds. Yes I know not healthy, but I didn’t have any coke, just water 
but yah I know it doesn’t help when I had a fish burger and large fries 
While I was enjoying my food I heard some screaming and as I always like to “jump in” to fix things I did get up and saw 5 or 6 kids screaming their head off to some tamil customers on the other side with a lady or two. I felt that if I say something it won’t be heard as both are nuts at that moment. So I was watching and seeing when to jump in.
Don’t know how it started but they were like both saying “I am gonna kill you” and so on to one another. I was watching and my reaction was unlike it used to be ages ago, I was calm and wondering what is going on through the mind of these kids. As some of them were 15 or 16 while the other guy “lucky” for the guys was not that LARGE like a few tamil guys I know here in Norway, or they wouldn’t dare talk like that.
Well the security guy came and stopped them, but I kind of felt that the reaction from both sides was very exagerated. It was so inhumane and very much like animals. My 20 year old brother was sitting and I asked him would you ever jump into stop a huge fight, he answered with a “No bhai, I won’t. I don’t want to get into trouble of others”.. I felt it was a good answer, since sometimes we can fix things, other times we can make them worse if we don’t have the position of doing so, like a guard or so.
Because no matter how calm I am at this present time, I do know if I had jumped in and the guys had said something I would have bashed a few heads, no doubt about that. But maybe that’s why I didn’t because that’s not how I deal with things anymore.
So I wanted to share this and get your views, as to when do YOU jump in and if you ever do is it ok to not jump in and still be helpful?

Jumping into somethin like this wouldn’t be so wise, no.
Sometimes when somebody we know is in such situation, even they don’t like N appriciate us to jump in N help them to sense, so tryin to help out or calm down someone we don’t know anythin about, I wouldn’t suggest that. Helping someone innocent whos being done injustice to is a good thing, but just this much that you yourself don’t end up in trouble. So I think it’s about using your judging power N decide whether it’s needed or required to jump in or stay away
