It's not even about chivalry, it's about what's RIGHT! Like HIM is saying, what would your response be if it was a child getting slapped up...or kidnapped? Because in that situation, you can also get your ass shot.
@ Gemini, no disrespect taken. I'm not contradicting myself though man...I'm an intelligent person, but I also don't fake it when it comes to what I believe. If a woman is getting the shit beat out of her, or if a kid is getting the shit beat out of him...I will step in regardless of potential consequences...that's who I am as a man.
About being a father, I am a proud father also. HOWEVER, how would I tell my child to stand up for what's right and not do the same? Yes, he benefits from having me around, but if he saw me let shit like that go down, how can I sit there and tell him to stand up for what's RIGHT instead of what's convenient?
