I would only get involved if it was safe to do so and I felt like I could actually make an impact. What the heck do you do if someone is shot in the face? Obviously I would call the police but... what kind of first aid would you administer? Try and stop bleeding without suffocating? Ugh.



yeah a tourniquet around the neck is called a hanging around these parts

I'll say it. I'm ghost white, and if someone gets shot next to me, I'll try my best to ignore it as well... I am NOT getting involved.



This is why you're a spineless little bitch.

I'd try to do at least something. Only a cowardly selfish prick would just walk past that kind of stuff

I scrolled through to the bottom of this thread without reading with the anticipation of calling you all morons, but..

Foxy, Ticky, Ordal, Albd and ducky already replied. I'm sure they said anything I could have said.

in reality there is very little you can do by yourself with no equipment even if you know what to do, but those very few things can save someone. for example, if someone was shot in the face and lost consciousness they might be in very serious danger of aspirating blood into their lungs. rolling them on their side could save them.

I doubt that the shot policeman would agree with your nonsense.
