Your foolishness. Never stop to pick up people on the road, even if they have been hit by somebody else

It's just that some people need a chance to create a scene and enjoy it. The goons were probably doing that.

I think there is a streak of helping spirit in all of us.. but, the way the world is, I guess we need to base our judgement on survival skills..! When you sense stupidity around, it is time to pack bags and run.. evil people can take care of themselves!

I have seen this a couple of times myself.. as soon as a bunch of autowallahs land up/local goons land up, you are going to be in trouble irrespective of whether you were even involved/just a spectator at the scene..

A couple of my friends were in quite deep trouble when an old man suffering from alzheimers suddenly jumped in front of their bike. Small collission (at < 5-10kmph), the man fell down and was bleeding (apparently, he was diabetic too). All this happened near Angeethi (and the man was an employee of SBI St.Mark's road which is a stone's throw away)..

Very soon.. big huge mob lands up and starts to threaten them..

Fortunately, they could get him to hospital and get out without anything serious happening to him.
