And BTW, I'd be hard pressed to not help a woman I figgured was in need.

Anybody else remember this "damsel in distress" story? it seems fairly recent but then...so does WW II.

If I remember right one was an ex-cop.

Aileen Carol Wuornos
Executed October 9, 2002 by Lethal Injection in Florida
Between December 1989 and September 1990, the bodies of several men were found murdered along the highways of northern and central Florida, including Richard Mallory, Dick Humphreys, Troy Burress, David Spears, Walter Gino Antonio, Peter Siems, and Charles Carskaddon. Items belonging to Mallory and Antonio were pawned near Daytona Beach and the alias names used were traced to Wuornos through thumbprints left on the pawn shop cards. Wuornos confessed to the murder of all six men, claiming that she was picked up by the men when she was working as a highway prostitute, and shot them in self defense after they attempted to sexually assault her. Wuornos was convicted of the murder of Richard Mallory after a jury trial in Volusia County and was sentenced to death. At trial, the State was allowed to introduce similar crimes evidence about Wuornos' commission of several other murders. While on death row, it was discovered that Mallory had previously served time for Attempted Rape. Wuornos pleaded no contest to the murders of the other 5 men and was sentenced to death in each case.

It would depend on the situation. Would you think the drive-through is a risky environ (happened this week)?

Good Samaritan beaten with stiletto
Man partially blinded after attack

DAYTON, Ohio (NBC) - The family of a Good Samaritan who was partially blinded with a stiletto heel after attempting to help a woman in the middle of a domestic dispute is hoping a reward will help find his attackers.
Anthony Miliner was sitting in a car in the drive-through lane at a Dayton, Ohio McDonald's last month when the pair witnessed a fight erupt in the car ahead of them.
A woman in the car was being severely beaten.
Miliner got out to help, but a few moments later, seemingly out of nowhere, a group of women rushed in and attacked him.
One of the women took off her shoe and beat him with the high heel.
It shattered the bones around Miliner's eye and left him partially blinded.
"He's a caring and he's a giving person, and he was just trying to be helpful, that's just the person that he is," said Irene Traylor, Miliner's mother.
Miliner has had two surgeries, both efforts to return his vision.
