A matter of choice...
You are standing at a street.
A few feet away from you, a vicious gang of 5-6 punks are beating a helpless man very savagely. The man is coughing up blood and bloodstains dot his clothes. He needs someone's help very quickly, or he might not have much time to live. The gang doesnt look like stopping anytime soon - maybe they are hellbent on beating him to death.
You take one step to help him, BUT...
At the same moment...
Across the street...
A young girl, probably 16-17 years old, has been overpowered by two nasty-looking men after getting a severe beating for trying to fight them off and for her resistance. One of whom has thrown her down and is in the process of ripping her clothes off. She is facing certain rape, and a very violent one at that. And she might not survive it.
Assuming that you are the only person, besides those listed above, in the entire area...
Who do you save?
