I generally DO stop to consider whether someone is worth saving or if it's worth my trouble before i render aid. For instance, i would not piss on some individuals, or groups of individuals, even if they were on fire.
If i saw someone getting beat up by 5-6 people i would definitely consider the situation before acting to help. Not for fear of my own safety, but because a lot of people really do need a good whoopin'.
