This is what I've been waiting for!
A man named Bob from Chicago was told he would be on a show called "Dog Catchers", which exposes cheating boyfriends and husbands in the act. Bob watched with the "girlfriend" and tv crew as the boyfriend and a woman went into a relatively isolated commercial building. They went in a few minutes later to hear the man screaming. When they came into the back of the building, a warehouse area, they were confused because they couldn't find the boyfriend. As they looked around, wouldn't you know it, boyfriend came in screaming at girlfriend, saying things like "I told you I would take care of this" and "why can't you leave this alone?" He slammed the door shut, revealing the trashbag-wrapped body of the mistress. As screaming ensued, Bob stood back wondering what to do. Then, the boyfriend grabbed the girlfriend, appearing to be attacking her. Bob shook his head and ran headlong into the guy, and would have beat him senseless had the team run in and dragged him back, quickly explaining to Bob that he was on Scare Tactics. Everyone on the team shook Bob's hand, including the "boyfriend", who commended Bob for caring about the girl. Bob said that he wasn't about to stand by and let some guy hurt a woman especially after he already hurt another one.
Bob, I commend you. I have been watching this show waiting for someone to put their fear aside and take a stand for right and courage. I am not an advocate for violence, but sometimes action has to be taken to protect yourself and others.
Still to come: my Milgram experiment post.

It's amazing how few people ever choose to stand up for strangers in trouble on hidden camera shows. Good for Bob!
I just read a post from this guy who was the "victim" on the show! I guess they cut some stuff from the show, including him actually punching the guy a couple times.
