I was out with some friends in NYC. We're leaving the bar/club whatever you want to call the place and walking down the sidewalk to catch a cab. I thought i heard a scream, but it was pretty loud on the street so it was tough to decipher. I heard it again and this time i was sure, so I asked my friends to follow me to the alley between the buildings. it was like in the movies, dumpsters, fire escapes, and paper debris scattered. we find some ******* straddling a girl on the ground. she was laying face down trying to get away and crying. he had pulled her dress up and was trying to pull off her underwear. without thinking, i ran towards them and tackled the guy off of her. in hindsight that was pretty dumb because he could've had a knife or a gun on him. luckily for me he was unarmed. The guy got away from me, then literally sprinted away down the alley to the street and was gone. he went right between my two friends. I asked them why they didn't stop him, and they informed me that he was running with his junk hanging out of his pants. we had a good laugh over it, then i threw up a little in the back of my throat at the thought that i was dangerously close to another dudes junk. which put into perspective of how that girl must've felt. she was pretty hysterical as we walked her back to the street. her drunk friends found her and they all started crying. she begged us not to call the police. i couldn't figure out why, but i respected her decision and got a cab with my friends back to queens. i guess i didn't really give it much thought until i was sitting home with nothing to do tonight, and i started to reflect a little. now i'm pretty damn proud that i was a hero at least for one night.
He probably ran off looking for a sink. Seriousness: Awesome work! A little disappointed in your friends though. Sounds like they were scared more than anything. Luckily the guy had no weapons since I don't know if your friends would've done anything.
Good job, you deserve boatloads of Karma for that. I wish your friends had tackled the sumbitch, exposed junk or no exposed junk...their discomfort would have been worth his not having a chance to do it again. Anyway, massive kudos!
I wonder how many people would have ignored the situation instead of stepping up like you did? Mad respect for you. Not to derail this thread, but I really don't understand the psychological process that would prevent someone from calling the police. Why are women (and I guess men too) so afraid to report being raped? I really have no insight whatsoever in anything like this, but it kind of baffles me to think that these women are letting things like this go.
I took an intense study on this, and honestly its because its a public shaming. Although there are a lot of slores in the world, they still choose who they want to sleep with. When a man rapes them, there is a whole drawn out legal process that keeps the memory from being repressed or accepted, because for a few months there are tests and hearings etc to keep it fresh in their minds.
Perhaps you should have at least had the girl describe the guy and had him reported, but who knows. Anyway, good job... rape is bad.
That's awesome dude. Not everyone can say they had the courage you did to do the right thing in those type of extreme situations. Takes a hell a lot of integrity. Props to you man.
His jewels our or not, something terrible could of happened. NO offense but your friends are cowards. At least try to trip the guy or something. Good work non the less.
Good job indeed. I'd say it is more than bad. To take somebody's humanity like that is indescribably horrible.
