@english
I had the same experience once too, his girlfriend started screaming at me..
But they stopped fighting.. sadly she walked away with the asshole as if everything was fine.

@SW-User exactly man . @LadyJ i would never stand idly by watching a woman getting seriously beaten im just saying it can back fire ,🤗

What the fuck!? Where are you that the police arrive in minutes, we have to wait 4 days and then all we get is a letter babbling on about a victim support group and a free personal alarm!
Kent police!

goldenorchid · 46-50, F

@LadyJ that helps,we are 3 streets away,admittedly one of them is 12 miles long.

goldenorchid · 46-50, F

@Moonpenny apparently not if they're my children.

Moonpenny · F

@goldenorchid Sorry to hear that 🤔

SW-User

No. If he does it in public that means it has been happening for a while and she has chosen to stay.

LadyJ · F

@SW-User i thought that tonight..i thought how many times as he done this and got away with it 🤔

SW-User

@LadyJ You are probably going to see them together again as if what you witnessed never happened.

LadyJ · F

@SW-User i know..how sad

Yes, in a heartbeat.

I have a martial Arts background. If I am not going to use it to benefit others then why bother.

SW-User

Of course I would intervene and in fact I have, a number of times with both strangers and acquaintances..

"interfering" has gotten me into trouble a few times, but I was raised to believe that there's no excuse to hit a woman.

Most time's I'll restrain the dude and/or put him in a headlock...

If there are kids involved/nearby, and he's screaming swears as well... I'll use his head for a mop & butt for a broom...

yeronlyman · 51-55, M

Idk when my bestfriends bf came home high on meth and tried to hit me and they put her in a choke hold and dragged her down the stairs beating her I wish the guys that where just standing on the street watching would have helped

FairyGirlGemma · F

Oh wow that's awful.
I'd call the police but I wouldn't intervene because I'd get my arse kicked.
I hope she's OK

LadyJ · F

@FairyGirlGemma i hope she is too! The ambulance came for her..and she could still walk so im hoping its nothing serious

FairyGirlGemma · F

@LadyJ Let's hope it's the last time that bastard lays a hand on her.

LadyJ · F

@FairyGirlGemma he needs locking up for a long time

I have. It’s an intensely scary experience but there’s this part of me that won’t allow the vulnerable to be abused in my presence. Even at risk to myself. It isn’t always the smartest move but I think it’s important to step in to stop violence.
