What would you do?
It really depends on what kind of crime is being committed. For example, if it was a guy unarmed stealing someone's bag then i would intervene and chase this guy down.
If I saw a crime being committed I wouldn't videotape it because that's just not the right thing to do unless the video was going to be used as evidence to help solve the crime and to bring the person that committed it to justice. I would try to stop it only if it was a crime where I wasn't going to end up being killed or something. Like if it was a random guy stealing an old ladies bag or something then I would probably chase this dude down and hopefully take the bag from him and return it to the old lady. But if he was armed and he was going to shoot me if I intervened there's no way in hell that I would be like " Hey give me the bag or I'm calling the police!" Yeah right, I would be the first one out the door. I'm not trying to die. Sorry old lady I know it's selfish of me to just think about myself and leave you with no bag but like I said no me quiero morir :(

I love the brutal honesty of this post. It's easy for many of us to act like we would be all noble when confronted with a dangerous situation, but that may not be the truth when it actually occurs. I love how truthful you were to yourself, admitting to what you would do, and conceding to what you wouldn't. It's very powerful to be honest about your fear and the actions that are driven by it; however, I don't think it is selfish, so much as a natural human instinct to survive that would cause you to run.
