Looking out for others. #centerforrespect #mikedomitrz #safespace #caringforothers #safety
In this brief monologue, Mike Domitrz explains a low‑risk, non‑accusatory bystander strategy for intervening when someone appears intoxicated and potentially vulnerable. He illustrates the method with a hypothetical scene involving Jesse, who is supplying alcohol, and Aaron, who is visibly incapacitated. Rather than confronting Jesse directly, the bystander approaches with a group of friends and offers Aaron a safe ride home. This phrasing avoids blaming anyone, allowing the bystander to gauge reactions—if Jesse reacts angrily, it signals a red flag. Domitrz emphasizes that fear of embarrassment often stops people from intervening, and that choosing a non‑confrontational opening move can help prevent sexual assault without risking social backlash.
