Be Careful!

Already been there, already done that - kicked his ass and nearly went to jail because of it.

My friend and I were coming out of a bar at about 11pm. Dude was dragging a girl by the hair, through the parking lot, and trying to put her in his car. I ran over screaming at him and proceeded to break his arm while trying to get him to let her go. The cops pull in while I am pinning him to the ground with my knee in the back of his neck. He wasn't fighting much at that point due to the broken arm.

The cops proceeded to take ME down and begin to cuff me for fighting. I explained the situation and when they questioned the girl, she said I jumped her boyfriend for no reason. Witnesses intervened (including my buddy who just stood there the entire time doing nothing) and after the cops noticed her torn clothes and scrapes, I was let go. Boyfriend was found to have a gun in the back of his pants when frisked by the cops. Apparently he couldn't get at it because of the busted arm (and being properly pinned).

When I asked my buddy why he just stood there and did nothing, he said that he had no idea what to do. He just froze. It is easy to understand as he was a pretty non-physical kind of guy and probably never thought about it.

I almost ended up dead trying to save this girl. She rewarded my efforts by trying to send ME to jail instead of the piece-of-shit who was abusing her.

If you feel that you have to help (and you should), try to remember that the person you are accosting is crazy and is probably going to try to kill you. Things are not always what they seem but if you think someone is about to die, you can't take the chance of doing nothing. I would do the EXACT same thing again because I responded to what I thought was a woman in peril. There are no rules in this kind of shit so anything goes!
