    I'd just walk up to them and calm down the situation - they're probably just drunk and stupid. There wasn't a choice for that one.

    BTW- I did this (either b/w guy/girl or guy/guys many times at Madison and only a few times did it turn ugly).

    what Fosco said; this poll was too thought provoking for me anyways.

    I thought I could edit it and add that choice but I can't. The scenerio though is the 4 guys appear to be thugs.....not your run of the mill argument after the bars close.

    With these polls you are really limited in the amount of space you have for the question.

    And yeah, I'm kidding. I'd help - unless they were Bear fans.

    If they are in a dark alley they are likely prostitutes and the harrisment you think you are hearing is 2 of the males negotiating a price with each prostitute's pimp.

    I'd probably call the cops and tell them. I was outside a bar, pretty buzzed up with a few friends. Some guys were pushing eachohter around and bumped into my now wife. We told them to get the hell away and the next thing I know, my buddy is being choke slammed, the women are piling in the car and it's me and my buddy in an after bar fight. We broke away and jumped in the car with the doors still open as we fly away..Dudes are throwing shit at the new Grand Prix.....

    Point is, drunk losers have nothing to lose and just want to fight. Unless your carrying a knife or gun, stay away because you don't know how senselessly drunk the person you are dealing with is. I think it would be a good idea to carry mase or something. I wouldn't want to stab anyone or anything like that. I sure as hell don't want to get in some fight with 2 or 3 drunk losers. I'd feel pretty good about masing
    their asses and then walking away though.

    Of course, it's easy to be daring in a hypothetical, but I can't imagine walking away without confronting them, even if the police have been called.

    I'm not too worried about a fight. I'm a big guy, and so are most of my friends. When people see me, they don't know that I'm generally an idle threat.

    I picked "shout out that I'd called the cops" because it was the closest thing. I would call the cops if it seemed necessary, but then I'd hang out and make my presence known. People tend to get nervous over some dude standing and watching with a cell phone who doesn't say a word.

    I have been known to butt into situations like this and live up to the "kickass" portion of my name when necessary but I much prefer diffusion and "psych" tactics over physical confrontations.

    Walking down a dark alley with a buddy, hmmm....

    I'm not calling the cops 'cause you can't guarantee I won't get busted, but I would jump in even if "they look like thugs" (been accused of that a few times in my life).

    Well you being the Lady and all and even if your with a gentleman companion this one is real easy.

    Your not going to walk into that mess and lay on any sass.It's the girls you have to worry about. It could be you and buddy - against six. Not cool odds unless you are trained to defend if needed.

    Licquor and friends and late at night, and after bar hours often gets that way. Don't intrude personally.

    Walk to a safe place and then report what you saw to the police as a precautionary measure.That will ease any nagging doubt.

    thats what the gun rack is for!!

    i'm usually the one trying to difuse these type situations, and i usually don't think far enough in advance to call the cops.
