AM I WEARING MY LEATHERS AND A HELMET? NO? I BETTER BE.
I went to get a beer tonight at the store and saw a couple fighting as I left. I called 911 when I saw a 6 foot man pushing his small girlfriend who was trying to leave. She wanted to leave the area, and he was physically pushing her back and forcing her to stay. All I could think about was my own sister getting slapped around and how mad it made me that the people who saw it did nothing. The fight was getting more violent so it was either me intervening and telling him to stop or call the cops. Because I am chronically incapable of minding my own business.

It seemed like the right thing to do, but I don't feel good about it. That man is going to jail tonight because of a phone call I made. That's really heavy. It doesn't excuse his behavior, but I really question if I made the right decision. I wanted him stopped but I don't know if he deserved jail.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I forgot to mention that she was barely 5 feet tall. He was using his size to intimidate her. That's why I mentioned that.

hmm. if the heights were switched but the situtation was otherwise exactly the same would you have called :crossarms:

e: just give him a call while he's in jail and say you're sorry for his loss. it's the best of both worlds, the one world being you got him put in jail and the other world being you intervened and he kicked your rear end

I'm not sure. But I think the fact that he was towering over her and using it to scare her pissed me off even more. It seemed to exacerbate the situation a bit.

Not really. If she wants to press charges he is in jail because of that.

The Enteroctopus dofleini, also known as the giant Pacific octopus (GPO) or North Pacific giant octopus, is a large marine cephalopod belonging to the phylum Mollusca and is tripping balls.
He almost for sure won't be going to jail because it's extremely rare for domestic disputes to be tried or even followed up upon. Really OP, you probably just made her rear end beating a lot worse when he takes out the frustration of dealing with the cops on her.

You did the wrong thing, you know nothing about them or the situation they were in. You were too much of a pussy to ask what was actually going on, and instead you invited the most volatile element to that situation that you could outside of handing him a bottle of alcohol and a loaded pistol. And even if the guy was abusing her, what you did will, in all likelihood, not provide anything more than a catalyst to further trauma, as others have stated. Good job.

See, i want to believe that. But the cop specifically said that all they have to arrest him is my testimony to prove a crime took place. They put him in a police car and drove him to jail. He's there now. He did say the DA may or may not end up pressing charges based on their findings.
