Not to be confused with Duty to rescue:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_to_rescue

I'll help someone out... IF.. my life doesn't become compromised.

Stepping in to help a person getting physically assaulted could end up with me getting shot or stabbed.. BY THE PERSON I TRIED TO DEFEND.

Have to view this as a case by case situtation.. a LOT of scams and criminals set traps for decent people to stop and help then get mugged or murdered.

I will help out someone I know ( friend or family ) but will avoid strangers in peril if I feel like it's a setup.
