Whether it be in school or outside of school. Have you ever gotten into the middle of it to stop it?

#2 Posted by Bruxae (2699 posts) - 4 months, 11 days ago - Show Bio

No, but I have cheered on.

#3 Posted by KnightRise (3695 posts) - 4 months, 11 days ago - Show Bio

No, but I accidentally started one. These two guys were arguing all school year long and I thought they were all talk so if I called them out, they'd just drop it. Nope: I called them out on it and they went to the bathroom and fought within seconds...It was brutal

And I had just finished the anti-bullying/anti-school violence seminar XD

Never been in a situation where I cared to stop a fight usually when I come across two people fighting where it wasn't inevitable. Also most of the fights I've seen ended on a pretty positive note, I mean yea violence is bad in and of itself but sometimes guys just need to get the anger out of their system and move on with their lives. For instance me and my brother hated each other growing up but my mom always stopped the fights, one day my dad got fed up and just let us go, we beat the crap out of each other but now I get along just fine with my brother cause we just needed to get that fight out of the way and not stew in it

Yep, I do that all the time when I'm with my little cousins.

Stopped a few, started a few, indirectly caused a few.

#21 Posted by whitewings1234 (234 posts) - 4 months, 11 days ago - Show Bio

#22 Posted by mk111 (2360 posts) - 4 months, 11 days ago - Show Bio

Not really.

#23 Posted by OmegaTheDestroyer (1008 posts) - 4 months, 11 days ago - Show Bio

Many, but I've probably started more then I've stopped.

#24 Edited by JediXMan (22955 posts) - 4 months, 11 days ago - Show Bio

I've stopped fights before they really started. I've been on the giving and receiving end of that.

Two of my friends were fighting once, so I decided to put an end to it. One of them is small and really skinny so I grabbed him around the waist and picked him up and put him on the ground a few metres away to calm him down. Then my other friend tried to attack him but I blocked his fist with my arm and pushed him away. I guess the big one shouldn't have stolen the little one's Oreo bar.

Yes, I stopped a bully from beating up a Cripple.

Lots of times, unfortunately. Usually in a school setting, but sometimes in other, random places. Never at a club.

#31 Posted by MonsterStomp (2718 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

I tried breaking up a girl fight and had my left cheek scratched, slapped and hair pulled. So I just backed the f*ck up.

Those are the worst kind of fight,s to break up.

OT yeah a couple some on presence one with a KO punch and a couple as the "whose army" idea. I have a really mouthy little brother and friends come to think of it.

#33 Posted by InnerVenom123 (27556 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

No, but I have started a war.

#34 Posted by Rogan2112 (600 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

Quite a few actually.

#35 Posted by Stompa (826 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

I prevented one i think that counts.

#36 Posted by thespideyguy (1454 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

Kind of? He stopped going at the other dude and turned to me.

#37 Edited by Vortex13 (10792 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

I've stopped one fight by pissing off the attacker so much so that he directed his aggression towards me lol. He gave me a helluva hit to the face and I snot rocketed blood into his face, which freaked him out so much he said "You're f##king nuts, I'm out of here." Oddly enough I'm quite proud of that moment, he avoided me in the halls after that it was pretty funny.

Another one was between two guys arguing over a girl at a party and to end that one I dropped my pants and started dancing in my underwear which made them crack up and forget about fighting each other. Obviously I don't go with the traditional methods of breaking up fights lol.

When two of my best friends started fighting I had to put an end to it. But with a random fight I see in the streets... nope.

#39 Posted by _slim_ (12549 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

Nope.

Even if it's some friends, if they gonna go, let 'em go.

#40 Posted by CaioTrubat (12000 posts) - 4 months, 10 days ago - Show Bio

Not stopped; more like facilitated the difussion of potentially volatile situations.
