The Damsel in Distress and the .Mysterious Stranger

[krazykidd]

First i wouldn't let the girl into my house . Second i would 't let the man into my house . Third if somehow the girl managed to get into my house , i would 't let the man into my house . Fourth if somehow the girl get's into my house , and the man somehow get's into my house , i get the man to get the girl out of my house .

I could have reasoned with him and found out what he really wanted, but then he went and pushed past me. That ************'s taking a hammer to the back of the neck, and if he wakes up, he can tell me THEN what he wants the girl for. Course, by then, he won't know where she is and I will, so I'm in control of the situation.

 

[WanderingFool]

I wuld ask him if he can tell whether a leg is broken or not. Than hit him in leg with hammer, before draging him out of my house. Than I call police and tell them someone entered my house without my permission and to come quickly.

Im not quick to trust peple that barge into my house... Though he should be thankful my shotgun is upstairs from the last asshole that broke into my house.

FYI, the last guy, he wanted my stuff, I disagreed.

*Edit*

Actually, I forgot that the girl may also be dangerous, so I would most likely call the police, and keep an eye on the girl until they show up. Hammer in hand.

Why do you all think he's a doctor in the sense of a general practioner and not a high paid, private, psychiatrist? Maybe he barges in because he's worried you might be some psychotic rapist? Or maybe you're right. Maybe he's worried because the girl is psychotic rapist?

Ah!

No your are adding things to the scenerio. You asked what people would do when in this situation. Most are answering. Maybe he does think im a rapist, maybe the girl is the rapist. I dont know any of that, I only have what you put in the OP to work off of. What I do know is that a terrorfied girl ran into my house, a guy in a suit is looking for her and doesnt even give the the chance to figure out whats going on before pushing me aside to enter into my house after this girl...

You know what? I change my answer. I instead go upstairs, grab the shotgun, and tell both the doctor and the girl that we are all going to wait here while the police (which I still called) get there to make sense of this whole thing.

I'm not adding details... I'm questioning you to makes sure you put thought into your answer. The mental states of the people in the OP are all up to you to decide, I just want to know you put plenty of thought into all possible scenarios and you didn't just half-arse your post with the 1st solution that came to mind...

 

[godofslack]

I grab the hammer and tell the man to get the hell out after that I call the cops, of course after the woman has some time to calm down a bit. I haven't known of any doctors that deal with mental patients in Armanis, and certainly not general practitioners.

 

[thesilentman]

What would I do? Why, call the police!

Alright, alright, I'd knock the guy/girl out and run the hell away.

 

[game-lover]

There was an episode of Criminal Minds where a girl ran to this house and begged to be let in. A couple opened the door but wouldn't let her in. Rather, they remained outside and tried to calm her down and chat and debated amongst themselves what to do. All the while girl was pleading and saying the person who had captured her was coming.

Few moments later, husband gets shot from a distance. Wife panics and crazy psycho just waltzes up with a creepy grin. Because now he's got them all.

So that's why I decided I'd let anyone who is begging to be let in as they cry for help in, because there's always that chance she is oh so very honest.

When it comes to what's more likely, I'm pretty sure the chance is higher that "doctor" is the danger rather than the female.

Every action is a risk. I choose the one that has less towards my physical or mental state.

 

[hazabaza1]

Close the door and call the police. Do what I can to stop him from taking her away if he tries (which won't be much) but I'm not going to outright fucking kill the guy.

Pretty much this. Some fucker rings my bell at night without calling first and I just unhook the bell and leave em pressing the useless, inert button until they die of boredom, old age or exposure. Given the time of year and my location the last of those is probably the most likely.

Either that or kill them both and desecrate the corpses in the most hideous and perverted ways imaginable.

 

[Calibanbutcher]

So, a girl I did not ask to come in barges into my living room and an almost respectable looking figure who asks for her?
The solution is obvious:
If he is a respectable doctor, he won't mind telling me what exactly is going on, whilst the girl that simply came running into my house is really not my concern, except for the fact that she is trespassing.
Also, check the papers. If the papers hold up, he gets the girl.
So I would give him the girl.
Less trouble for me.

If they don't hold up, then I would knock them both out, tie them up and wait for the police.

She does not get special treatment, since she clearly broke into my home as well.

 

[Mr Fixit]

Well first things first, I am not moved out of the way so easily & I do not need a hammer to drop some fool trying to push his way in my house. I would here both sides of the story with each person in private, then probably call the fuzz to sort things out & no one leaves until things are sorted out.

 

[lacktheknack]

"No warrant? Warrant, pls. GET OUT OF MY HOUSE."

And then I bodyslam him out the door.

Assuming he's larger than me, I threaten him with the hammer.

If he persists, I swing.

If this is a hidden sexism question, it's not because I'm sexist in favor of women. Had a terrified man begged to be let in and a well-dressed woman inexplicably demand him back, my actions would be the same.

 

[lacktheknack]

What do you do? Do you stop him? Do you let him take the girl? How do you react?

have you seen vhs recently by any chance?

Um... I've seen Sinister? I think that's what they are calling VHS over here... Anyway that's not what spurred this on, I just really like doing these kinds of threads.

Anyhow, I'm surprised it's all either kill him or police, has no one considered this girl is a mental patient and a huge danger to you and herself? Anyway, don't let me taint your answers...

She's sitting in a corner, terrified. I'm holding a hammer.

Even if she IS a mental patient (which is my first thought), it's far more likely that she's an abused one (mental patients generally don't become terrified of wardens without reason) who doesn't desperately want me dead.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

This is assuming I even open the door to anyone at that time of night... Why would I open the door to someone after opening it from someone who was obviously running from someone? I'd hafta be fuckin brain dead to have opened the door a second time without first hearing some sort of information about what was going down, only way he'd get in is if he broke in, at which point I wouldn't be too obliging to talk to him, and it would likely lead to a tussle, I do not use weapons to confront people most of the time, but if he seemed agressive enough I might decide to hit him with my rattan batons a bit, crack a few bones, give him a beating he wouldn't forget, and call the cops. Of course this is also assuming that he'd break in in the first place.

However, if I had let someone of that nature into my house as is stated that he brushed past me or whatever, I would grab him by the back of his shirt collar and drag his assback out the door, if he resisted, I know how to handle myself in a fight, and he'd end up being bodily tossed out the door, I'm not looking to kill someone, but I'd put him out the door right quick.
If she is dangerous, she better pray that she's more dangerous than me, because I would beextra watchful of her, as people I don't know, being in my house, tend to warrant watching.

 

[exessmirror]

the moment he shouldered me he would be lying on the ground because he would be trespassing. i would then drag him outside and call the cops, if he would sue me i would say he entered MY house without MY permission. i only took him down because i saw him as a treat for myself and other ppl (the girl) then the cops can do whatever they want with both

As I've said before, people seem hell bent on doing that guy harm, admittedly, it's more beating him not killing him now but I don't feel your giving the guy a fair chance. It could be pouring with rain or whatever and once he get's into your front corridor he spins on his heels, shakes your hand and gives a proper explanation. It could be he is some sort fucked up weirdo who plans to re-kidnap a 19 year old girl and tie her up in his creepy rape dungeon, and I can understand why one may not want to take that chance, but you must consider all alternatives.

And it's not a question of sexism, I just find that ones protection instinct might kick in faster if it were a young woman than a young man. I'm not judging but out of all the people that would let her in I wonder how many would be more wary if it were a guy, scared out of his mind at the door. You may also be less inclined to kill the lady if you're the sort of person who has a "never hit a girl" mentality or you may believe a young guy would be able to defend himself against a woman...

Actually, now that I think about it, I've never met a girl I wouldn't be able to pick up and remove from my home manually.

So I imagine that also factors in.

"Bodyslam" was a hyperbole I used because it seemed to be the thing to do for this thread. More likely, if the guy was smaller than me (common), I'd just push him outside and require a warrant or a really damn good explanation. If he was larger than me, I'd threaten with the hammer specifically because I don't want a damned kidnapping to happen in my own home, it seems worse than just having to explain to police why I clunked a very large home intruder, who was acting threatening, with a hammer.
