Ungrateful bi*ch!

Chris you did absolutely the right thing. Without a shadow of a doubt.

I had something similar happen to me in Taupo years ago. Was walking with a group of friends and saw a guy just in front of us knock a woman to the ground and swing his foot back to kick her. I ran at him and shoved him in the chest, he lost his balance and staggered backwards into a wall. Two things that happened next totally amazed me...

1) My friends carried on walking (males and females)

2) The woman got up off the ground and screamed at me to leave her boyfriend alone

I was very, very disheartened by both those things, but I made a conscious decision that I would do exactly the same thing again in the same circumstances. I'm the one who has to live with my conscience and I know what I need to do to be able to live with myself.

Chris, I trust you to do the same again (once you get over your justified anger at her for her attitude). And I promise I'll do the same for you.

Pop quiz hotshot...Man beats woman on the side of the road. What do you do?

Snap judgement calls and decisions tell me alot about a person. You can be my wingman anyday.

Anyone with any knowledge in economics would not say that. India is the fastest growing economy in the world and by 2010 will be the second largest unline some other countries who see one recession after another and blame the government who they elect. A recession with 4 million people, put a billion + people on the streets and Id like to c how any economy runs.. besides im not her to discuss politics but that was an uninformative post unfortunately. goodday.

I quite agree, but I was making an entirely different point and anyone understanding the history of their own country would probably have picked that up. I dare say you dont want to argue with me though since you follow the preachings of a little bald bloke.

that little bald bloke u refer to my friend beat one of the largest and most powerful nations at the time without even lifting his little finger. anywhow man it wasnt my intention to offend u if I did... just when people giv me shit about other people who did a lot and gave up their lives it gets me goin.... also it seemed like u were dissin India for being a little messy so I thought an economics 101 lecture was the right thing to do. well c u arnd mate.. Im goin to cook me some diner im hungry as..

Peace Raj.

Not impressed those important to me get turned on while trying to help out, and put themselves at risk to do so for nothing but abuse in return.

And that, sums the whole thing up beautifully.

First of all- bloody well done, DMNTD.

As far as the woman being ungrateful: someone said earlier that she was probably brainwashed into thinking she deserved it: this is almost certainly true. She will have extremely low self esteem. She will feel a lot of shame, and will know that if she sides with the person saving her (therefore challenging the idea that it's her fault and that the knob beating her is in the right) tomorrow could be a hell of a lot worse.
Plus, the humiliation and being full of adrenaline herself could well cause her to side with him to be (briefly) on the 'strong' side and 'lessen' her sense of humiliation. A similar dynamic that turns beaten kids into bullies.
However. Somewhere inside her head she will have registered that what he was doing was so disgusting to a passing male stranger that he stopped and did something about it. Down the line this may help her decide to get out, since her faith in her own opinion has probably been largely destroyed at this point.
I would never walk past something like this going on, and I'm 5'4" in my boots, and 50 kg. He'd be wearing the nearest chair.

P.S. While I do understand people thinking that women who stay with these morons are idiots, it really doesn't help anyone. They already think they're stupid- that's the problem. Other people reinforcing it? Not helpful. Plus these guys have a habit of coming after women who have left, and occasionally their families as well. It really isn't that simple.

That's the best post I've seen in a long time.

[ynot slow]

but i think if we are true to ourselves,most would hope we never have to be in that situation,having said that the best thing i was told by a mate in the army is get the upperhand.i.e kick the cunt in the balls,fighting dirty works,afterall it was man on female.mind you she probably asked for it is what she's maybe thinking,i mean he's possibly been in a loosing team that day,both drinking heaps and then we had no teams in super 14 final,the warriors lost,tv broken,but the main thing is she loves him.the brilliant power of mind control these wankers have over their women.he probably said to her next day shit lets get pregnant,kill 2 with one blow.

It's a sad country that stands by and watches a women getting hit by a man. Even if she is a junkie or whatever there's no excuse. Good on DMNTD for being brave enough to step in.

[gijoe1313]

LOL...I don't fight clean especially when he's a large bastard! Fark that...bad enough the bastard interrupted my ride let alone allow the guy half a chance to get me a beaut.
If ya have met Colapop....add a very angry hyped up mofo and you'd understand what I was up against! Yeeeee ha!

That's Colapop normally! I'd hate to see Col get angry
How's the helmet btw?

LOL...the angrier someone is the easier it is to sort them

How's the helmet btw?

A certain Mom might say that it's farked....
Nah all good mate,I've washed all DNA from it

[oldrider]

You did the right thing! Fuckem - arseholes beating up women in the street is a no no - a beating is a beating!
The bike gear night slow you down but I've wondered what effect a nice pair of armoured gloves has on someone else.........

Beneath that quiet, calm exterior lurks a latent sinister urge to maim, tempt me at your peril! Have to concur, John.

[ajturbo]

That's the part I can't handle even though you're completely right.
Had to see just how brutal this wankstain was being! Wasn't pretty at all.

good on ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
