Girl sprints towards woman screaming like a maniac blocking a dude's car.

I don't know the funniest part is just seeing that girl bolting from around the corner.

imagine that dude was actually dangerous and that girl got hurt or killed because the old lady wanted to escalate the situation. dont scream "help," "rape," or "fire" unnecessarily.

someone recently told me that their self defense teacher told them to scream "fire" instead of "rape" because "people come to help with a fire, they dont give a shit about rape"

That's some real appeal to authority BS. A "self-defence guru" said people will come to a fire? Who willingly wants to get burnt? On the other hand people would want to stop an attack against a person.

Yeah IDK, maybe just me, but if someone is screaming they are getting raped I’m at least going to see what’s going on from a safe distance and definitely calling 911. Pretty much the same I would do for a fire.

I wonder if there is any actual data/psychology to back up the claim, or if someone just thought it sounded good and also profound so it caught on.
