The biggest factor effecting my action or lack there of is: "The type of action required in an emergency differs from situation to situation". If I think I can have a positive impact then I usually get involved. If it's something I know nothing about or don't believe I can impact then I'm less inclined to get involved (kind of like me lurking on this site). Historically: lady having a seizure - acted, loose dog in traffic - acted, man making physical threats to others with a pool cue - no action.

I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.
