This thread ended on post 5. This isn't some deep thought-out question on social ideals like the last one, it's just a matter of what is best in the situation.
In the first event, call the police. In the second event, call the police, unless the situation is too dire to wait on, then you can choose to fight the two thugs if you feel good enough (after a night of drinking? probably not).
This thread will probably be closed soon.
