Guy beating up his girlfriend on the street
About an hour ago (130 AM) I went outside to get some air and smoke a cigarette. There was a dude down the block with his girlfriend and they were arguing and yelling.
Then the dude yells "bitch, bite your tounge" and she says "f-ck you" and he grabs her by the arm and slams her into the metal gate of the hardware store they're standing in front of. I am the only other person on the street, and I consider getting involved. The guy was obviously very irate and could have been intoxicated. I really wanted to go help her, but with the way things are today the guy could have had a weapon and there is always the possibility he has friends in car or neerby somewhere. So, I go around the corner and call 911. the cops come literally 30 seconds later (I guess there was a car heading in our direction at the time) and the cops broke up the fight. I didn't stick around to see if the guy got arrested or anything. What do you think, should I have tried to intervene? The guy was slapping her and pushing her, but nothing that she was in danger of being killed, but if I called the police and while waiting for them the situation really got life-threatening for the girl, then should I have stepped in?

Re: Guy beating up his girlfrend on the street
You did fine.
I would consider yelling something at him to get him to stop, but I wouldn't physically mess with someone crazy enough to attack his girlfriend on the street. He could easily have a weapon and want to use it on you for trying to stop him.

It's to the thread, not you. (I think; it was a different post the first time I checked) [/ QUOTE ] Nah . . . I'd wager that he meant that guy. It takes a real genius to exponentially increase the odds of his daughter being daddyless at some point in the future.

In Canada this is so easy. You get involved. In most of the US [censored] no. [/ QUOTE ]
