I once had a friend who was somewhat violent....Moderately....but was part of my life since gradeschool. He also hit his girlfriend, at which point (I was actually there) I told him to stop, which he did. I later asked him WTF he was thinking, and he said she just pissed him off. I tried to explain how wrong this was.....not just against Women, and he did not seem to understand.
That was 14 years ago......I have not seen or talked to him since.
I do not care to have such ignorance in my life.....and minimize it when I can.
