Maybe it's not related but here it goes:

A friend of mine recently introduced me to a girl that was raped like two years a go by a close friend. The rape took place right after a party, that guy was drunk and had consumed some coke also. To shorten the story, after a year the girl told what happened to her friend who came from Los Angeles, that guy went for some friends of his and killed the guy. To me that's justice because said girl went to therapy and shit to overcome from that.
I personally wouldn't have gone as far as killing the guy, because hey, I don't like prison just as much as the next guy, but he had that one and more coming.  I hope they dragged it out for a while.  I have no respect for any guy that so much as raises a hand to a woman, and if I had a gun or any other kind of weapon and something like that was happening, I think it would be instinct to use it.

Kudos for calling the cops, and not passing it off as "someone else's problem".  Could have saved her life.

Calling the cops isn't a pussy move. Better to let them handle it since domestic disputes are their business and not yours. Besides, what would happen if you had gotten involved and he managed to start beating you up, too? You could wind up in the hospital, or worse, dead. Better to not chance it and call the police, that's their job anyway, to serve and protect. You did the right thing.

Tonight I witnessed something I'll never forget.  I was on my way home, at a light, getting ready to turn.....

when i spy across the way, this tall big white guy (I'm not small, I'm 6'2 240), yelling and tossing this chick around like a ragdoll.  HOlding this chick by the arms and shoving, I MEAN SHOVING, this chick against the truck... and then nailing her in the face.

I mean seriously...

what do you get from beating up a chick?  you fucking pussies.  What did I do? Well, being that I hate getting in trouble w/ the law, I just sicked the cops on him... ya ya pussy move, or is it?  It's definately none of my business what they were yelling about, but when a guy twice as big as his g/f starts shoving and swinging away, then it's my business to put an end to it before it goes any further...

thoughts?

serious thoughts... what would you have done?
Calling the cops was the right move.  The UPS guy that delivers to my work tried to break up a domestic dispute and received a broken ankle via ladder jack for his trouble.  I agree 100% with your statements, any man that hits a woman is not a real man.

this guy sounds likes a weak asshole of which I have no respect for. On that same token, I have zero respect for a weak woman who continues to put herself in a situation like that.  Although I dont know the story, obviously, I have little pity for a person who allows themselves to contstantly be put in that position and domestic violence is usually never a first time offence.  We need to stop acting as if women are weak and inferior and they need us strong men to save the day.

There are only few things that I can't accept and one of them is definetly that no one can hurt a woman. guys who beat womans should be hung from their balls.

hope he goes to jail and gets raped. life creates irony just for things like that. you did the right thing calling the police as you didn't know whether he had a knife in his back pocket or something equally deadly to you if you'd got involved, the cops are trained for that sort of thing.

I was visiting my cousins 2 years ago in Charlotte, and we decided to go rent movies. So we got there and this father was beating and yelling at this I'd say 10 year old. My father and uncle told me to go look for movies and they went and handled the situation. I think it was over candy. I've never seen anything worst then that in real life.

My father and uncle called the cops I think.

All our weapons > wife/gf beaters... yes, I know.


But as tough as some people are in real life, is it worth getting in trouble with the law over strangers? I don't think so.  Unless you have really nothing to lose in life, then sure, go ahead and break out the Eastons and the Uzi's or whatever you need to use.  For me, I have a lot at stake. Not only for myself, but for my father.  I don't ever want my family to be apart of trouble I didn't need to get into.

I’d say calling the cops was the right way to go.  You don’t want to get sued or go to jail.  If you thought her life was in danger, you would’ve been ok if you threw some punches in her defence.  Depending on how confidnt you are in your ability to take the guy in a fight, you may have been able to distract him to get him away from the girl.  Or like some have said, if you can carry a pistol, you could have possibly held him, but if he was nuts enough he could have taken her hostage if you introduced a weapon.  What would I have done personally?  Same thing you did.

I have never witnessed physical abuse, but I did witness a father verbally abuse his sweet little daughter in a store I worked at after she simply asked for a small toy.  As a father, I was instantly furious and went over and told him “you don’t have to scream at her for asking for a damn toy” to which he said nothing.   I was really scared for that little girl.  If he’s willing to treat her like crap with words in public, I shudder to think what he does in private when he gets angry. 

I was raised to respect women and taught that real men don’t hit women.  Anyone who beats a woman or a child should receive the same treatment by a man equal their size.

Honestly, some really good answers here, seems the consensus has spoken and calling the cop was the way to go. Glad you guys took it seriously and didn't dick around (i feel a derailment coming on now).

Yeah, calling the cops was probably the right thing to do. Frankly, if it wasn't for our fucked up law system and I had a weapon I'd tell the guy politely to back the fuck off until the cops get there.

Too bad that if it escalated and you shot the guy, he would likely sue and win for 'damages'...

9 times out of 10 you get involved and the chick defends her aggressor. I have been in exactly the same predicament and situation as you. Its best just to call 'Po 50.

There wasa similar incident just outside my house, I was randomly looking out the window when this guy walks past with his girlfriend. All of sudden he full on grabs her arm, throws her around and the pushs her to the ground quite violently where she landed on my neighbours driveway. Seriously these people are fucked up.

absolutely.  as well if its life, limb or eyesight that is being threatened.  But my experience in this short life of ours has showed me that a lot of these women that are the victims of domestic violence choose to put themselves in that sitution.  they look for the rough and tough asshole thinking they could change him or what not.  Im sorry, but after the first time you get cold clocked it might be time to move out of that situation.  Man or Woman, you get no sympathy if you cant learn from your mistakes.

a huge pile of horse shite > woman beater

in my opinion any woman beaters, rapists etc should be round up and shot because they do not deserve life.

and like others said, i hope he gets raped in prison, 500 times....a day...til he dies...because of internal bleeding

(sorry for the horrible images now in your head i just fucking hate them and so went into a bit of a rant)

I'd call the cops, you never know if the guy has a gun or knife.

Domestic disputes are hard to gauge when you are witnessing it right in front of you. . .

Best thing is call the cops and let them deal with it (thats what they get paid to do)! Sticking your nose in other peoples business is never a wise endeavor. . . You never know, that guy could have been an MMA fighter, and you being the good smaritan could have gotten your ass beat lol!!

You did the right thing by calling the police. . . .

the only thing that is worse than a woman beater, is a child molester.  and in any case they both deserve a horrific and painful death.

You did the right thing.  As a red-bander, I can tell everyone here that the "I woulda beat the f' outta the guy, blah, blah" nonsense is nothing but hot air.  Even if you're right, in this day and age, you will go to jail.  +1
