Hi Les, Lyn et al,
While I trust the media about as much as I could throw them, the phrase "holiday revellers" in the article makes me think that they might have had just a few too many of whatever floats their boat.
As Lyn says, there is a right way to assist, and what they were doing wasn't it. You don't guide a person at night (even on the ground) by shining a light in their eyes, even with a flashlight.
Well intentioned or not, it was still a remarkably dangerous thing to do. One might hope that they might read this column (or at least the second part of it!) and learn something.
