we were just watching an episode of the TV show FBI in which a woman ran up to an off duty agent and claimed some one had just attacked her
when he turned to help her, her partner hit him with a pistol and robbed him
this happened to me when I lived on 45th St in SE Portland back in 1981 - but the outcome was different
we were sitting at the table for dinner when we heard a woman screaming for HELP outside the front of the house
I walked to the front window and looked out and a guy was beating a woman on our front sidewalk
I ran to my bedroom and got my old Ruger .357 pistol
then all of use, my son (only 6 years old) and our 2 room mates, went out on the front porch
she continued to scream for help, so I calmly told her "young lady if you need help, come up here on the porch"
"I can't, I can't", she screamed
so I raised the .357 up and cocked the hammer "CLICK-CLICK-CLICK" - very loud in the quiet night
at the sound of the pistol cocking, they both jumped up and ran off together
it was a fake out - trying to get me to come down off the porch where the 2 of them could jump me
