[QUOTE="Singularis, post: 2414056, member: 32412"] It would also fall under the law on defense of others. If you do this, you step into the shoes of the person you are aiding, legally speaking. If they are being unlawfully assaulted, your defense of them is legal as long as you use a reasonable amount of force. If you are wrong and the person you are aiding is in fact the aggressor, your actions are unlawful, and others are legally justified in using defensive force against you, in addition to the possible imposition of criminal penalties. More people need to have the balls to stand up for what's right in situations like this, regardless of the laws. [/QUOTE]
