quick story.... When I was 20,I went into NYC for a party at my ex-g/f`s flat.Got off the subway with some friends and walked down Broadway.As we`re crossing a street,I noticed out of the corner of my eye a commotion.Two women were scraping,rather one woman was beating up the other.At we got closer,I saw the aggressor grip the victim around the neck,place her thumbs to the center,and push in.OMG, the victims eyes literally popped out,as she choked and gasped. Without thinking I grabbed the arm of the aggressor and pulled her off.She freaked on me,and before I knew it,the other one(the victim) jumped onto me and was hitting me. I just shook them both off and walked away,in amazement.

Tou should keep doing what you are doing. You are not over reaching what is possible and legal for you to do, and you seem smart enough not to do something stupid just because its right. The boyfriend is a possible danger to others because of the drugs and guns, and history of violance. So you can only warn him off. As far as the girl goes, what can be done has been done. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. In general though, a good samaritan should do what they can. Every little bit of good we bring into the world makes it a better place. It might not be possible for you to save the world, but you can add to the light holding back the darkness.

When I was growing up I was the youngest of five kids. Once when a bully several years older than me gave me some trouble my older brother went and found him and kicked his ass, and told him that no one could pick on me but him. Now that's brotherly love... But with lovers it's a different story. Start in on one of them for any reason, and get ready to get knifed or shot from behind. That's just the way it is.

I just glanced the entire comments of 2 pages but as a MP in the army for 8+ years if you went to bust the offending party the victim 8 out of 10 times would attempt to beat on the "police" taking away her man, (95% of the time, it was the man who got taken away, be it the PM office, or the unit barracks as a majority of the service members where the Men) In one particular case, The wife was drunk, the husband was being taken away for his safety and to prevent him from getting his head beat in any more, seems his korean wife used to be a member of the Korean National Kung Fu or CMA team and was going pretty fly. She even attempted to go all grasshopper on the MP's but lucky for us one of the MP's who was there was a extremely well trained Martial Arts individual, and he subdued the situation forcefully after all attempts to do it calmly and quitely were exausted and on orders of the Duty Officer who was at the scene. Damn that Soju!

quote: ORIGINAL: lazarus1983 quote: ORIGINAL: Sanity quote: ORIGINAL: lazarus1983 So he just shows up during the day, at some point in the course of the week she'll get beaten up, and he'll leave. Sometimes a roommate or upstairs resident will call the cops, sometimes they won't. That's normal life for her. Interfere and she may try to kill you. In her dysfunctional little world her and her boyfriend are a perfectly normal couple, and anyone who goes after her man may as well be going after her, and she'll react in the same way you would if someone was going after someone close to you. Will he kill her? He very well may. Situations like that tend to deteriorate. What they need is counseling, and if you really want to help her give her some pamphlets anonymously. But again, be awfully damn careful, and don't get between them if you can help it. Oh, I've only gotten between them that one time when he was choking her out. I know he's dangerous, as I wrote in my post, they found his handgun and drugs. That's why when I have the opportunity to warn him off property, I always wait for the cops. Unfortunately, he either leaves property or as I said, stays in the apartment, and there's no legal reason for me or the cops to enter. Since you were a witness to this crime..why then were the cops not called?..Tempting
