About a year ago I was arrested for beating a guy unconscious with a 6-D Maglite. The guy was about 30, 6"6' and around 300 lbs, and I just saw him backhand a 16 year old girl across the face. He broke her jaw, cheekbone, and the blow knocked her back about 6 feet into a wall. I reached back into my litle brothers car, grabbed the flashlight, and gave him a couple lovetaps to the side of the head. When the cops got there, I was grabbed, handcuffed and put into a cop car until the ambulance arrived for the little girl who had been carried inside in the meantime. As soon as the cops found out the whole story, the handcuffs were removed and put on him, and every cop there shook my hand. They took down all my information, and I walked away. I did end up getting called into court over the whole thing, but it ended up being no trouble for me.
Was what I did violent? Yeah.
Was it none of my business? Nope, not really.
Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.
Men do not hit women. I don't care about being seen as sexist, its just the way I am. I also open doors and pull out chairs, so eh, whatever, if thats seen as sexist, fine.
I've been in a relationship with a girl that hit me, and I never, ever even thought about hitting her back. Its just not right for me, or for any of the people that I would call friends. If I saw a guy beating on a girl, no matter what the circumstances, I'm gonna get in someones face.
