Ethics gut check: Would you help a person who had committed a crime most find reprehensible, or allow them die?
Imagine it is after dark, you are heading back to your vehicle after stopping by the ATM, a short dash by the quickie mart, etc. You hear a scuffle and spy two men 25 yards away. One of the men screams and collapses. You see the first man rifle his pockets, take his watch, and dashes off. You check to see if the downed man needs help. He has been stabbed, and bleeding like a fountain. With no immediate assistance, he could bleed out in three to five minutes. You then realize he is the man on the flier authorities passed out around two weeks ago, as a released prisoner who did eight years for having sex with girls (11–13yr) he coach in swimming. What would you do? Walk away as if you seen nothing, help, and if so, how, and how much? Would your decision change if the girls were older or it was women over 18 that he sexually assaulted?
