  We study the perturbative phase diagram of semi-simple fermionic gauge
theories resembling the Standard Model. We investigate an $SU(N)$ gauge theory
with $M$ Dirac flavors where we gauge first an $SU(M)_L$ and then an $SU(2)_L
\subset SU(M)_L$ of the original global symmetry $SU(M)_L\times SU(M)_R \times
U(1) $ of the theory. To avoid gauge anomalies we add lepton-like particles. At
the two-loops level an intriguing phase diagram appears. We uncover phases in
which one, two or three fixed points exist and discuss the associated flows of
the coupling constants. We discover a phase featuring complete asymptotic
freedom and simultaneously an interacting infrared fixed point in both
couplings. The analysis further reveals special renormalisation group
trajectories along which one coupling displays asymptotic freedom and the other
asymptotic safety, while both flowing in the infrared to an interacting fixed
point. These are \emph{safety free} trajectories. We briefly sketch out
possible phenomenological implications, among which an independent way to
generate near-conformal dynamics a l\'a walking is investigated.
