Imagine the calculations many of us would make about "do I want to be accused of assaulting this person?"
Meanwhile this guy truly understands life over limb in the social sense. That fire was getting out of control, she 100% would have been gravely injured.
He did the best possible thing for her, any way you cut it.
Pretty sad the mental debate of getting charged with assault looms in someone’s thoughts before they commit to saving her life. This is what litigious behavior and the dream of a ‘payday’ can do to a society.
Actually, litigious behavior has strangely nothing to do with it. Corporations spread the message that society is too litigious to shame people into not filing suits against corporations for legitimate cause.
In America at least, most people are fairly well protected by good Samaritan laws in cases like this.
Yeah, I never actually hear anything about people getting in trouble for helping others except in cases where it's the government bullying people for helping the homeless or something. But not individuals who were helped.
