Ungrateful bi*ch!

[Grahameeboy]

You did the right thing, no doubt about that.
He wasn't all that bright then... trying to punch a helmet



The main question has to be, was the female Sue Bradford? If so, you definately should have stopped... and joined in the beating!

Well the girl he was beating up must be thick skinned to be with the guy so probably not a lot of difference..........

[MSTRS:Me]

Damn...can't bling ya for this.
My 2cents worth....don't get involved, but good on ya. Self-defence, wasn't it??

[bert_is_evil]

A bit of advice for you! Don't ever get between the two parties in a "domestic". One or other of them will always turn on you.
I nursed a guy who was stabbed in the shoulder by the "victim" he had just saved from a beating.
Just ring the cops and ride on by!

How do you know it's a domestic and not just some guy laying into a random chick on the street until you've broken it up tho?

Good on you DMTD, sounds like he needed a bashing.

[DMNTD:Me]

... but now adays you gotta becareful you don't end up the one getting stabbed or the shit kick out of you for trying to help .

It looked so bad I would've been ok with taking a beating...until I found out that she was a muckhole
Have had training re dealing with people with knives/weapons/etc and experience doing so in my past so wasn't overly concerned...at the time,had my eyes open in case as he seemed the "type".

My 2cents worth....don't get involved, but good on ya. Self-defence, wasn't it??

I'd be surprised if you could've ridden past mate....it really was that bad and I wasn't sure how long she would've last.
Was total brutality hence why I had no issues dishing some.
Self defense? Yes officer...completely

[terbang]

A typical scenario and just as likely to happen because the locals lost a game..! There are some serious social issues out there that a lot of us can't really even begin to understand. Chris you exercised a duty of care, good onya.

How do you know it's a domestic and not just some guy laying into a random chick on the street until you've broken it up tho?

I wouldn't "know" of course.....but , from personal experience, I can say they have a "look" about them that screams domestic.
I would get involved in almost any other circumstance but not in a domestic.
If that makes me a low down, non-involved, uncaring citizen, then so be it.

[tri boy]

hmm ... lets see, dodgy area between hamilton and auckland .....

My first thought also.
Did it have roller doors over the shops entrances?
The stupid b#@&h probably doesn't realise you saved her from a few nights in a ward.

[gijoe1313]

Ahh good on ya DMNTD, you didn't know the full facts - but you took it on yourself to stop a male bully from stomping on a female on the face of it. I guess if you knew the reaction you were going to get, you wouldn't get involved.

But you didn't. You came to the aid of someone being brutalised and you were in a position to do something about it! On ya! I guess you need to avoid being the Punisher for these miscreants.

Good to hear you knew yourself, knew your enemy and decided to take action. Now go back to riding your bike!

[dnos]

yeeeesh, thats messed up.
Totally understand what your saying, how would ya know it was a domestic and not some girl getting the shit kicked out of her for no reason.
Good job bro, even if it turned out it wasn't appreciated, no girl should ever get a beating like that.

[Krusti]

Good on ya!

If the majority of us in this country had the same attitude then this country would be a lot safer.

Came across a woman in Tokoroa lying on the footpath with this guy hunched over her, fists flailing everwhere. Stopped asked, 'you ok?'

She replyed.....'piss off'

Turned out I think she had the upper hand!

I told myself, at least I stopped. That is what I would expect of others if it was my daughter there.

We need more citizens like you mate , problem is that if plod had driven past you would have most likely been charged with something!

Yesterday, there was a knock at my door. It was Mr Enrolment, trying to make sure I am ready to vote. As we stood at the door discussing said forms, a car screeched up to the curb outside my place, and all maner of shit starts flying out the window. Lots of yelling and screaming and a baby seat is thrown out the door.

Girl gets out with baby, goes to boot to grab something else, and the guy in the drivers seat floored it and took off, leaving this girl, baby, baby seat, and various other bits of clothes etc strewen around the place.

She picked her shit up, and stormed off. I called out and asked If I could give her a lift somewhere, to which she replied 'FUCK OFF I DONT NEED YOUR FUCKING HELP'

So yeah I thought at least I offered.

5 minutes later there was another knock on my door.. It was the girl and baby asking if I could give her a lift home..

[Skyryder]

I don't doubt that you did the right thing. Unfortuntley woman who find themselves in this sort of situation blame themsleves. Strange as that my seem she sees herself at fault and with this mindset, in most cases they will defend their attacker who in most cases will be there partner. This incident does need to be reported to the police.

I've still got a scar on my arm from the stitches I recieved stoping the last guy from hitting his partner. In the end He was the one that left in an ambo, not me.

[Chickadee]

Good on you for doing the right thing.

However people in abusive relationships seem to be a bit brain washed and will protect their abuser from a good sorting out that they deserve.

Colleague of mine in the UK got in the middle of a domestic once (he was beating the crap out of her in the street) and she started attacking him when he got in the middle.

I think like Yungatart - call the cops - you'll not get any thanks for your trouble as sad as the case maybe.

[The Pastor]

The only problem with helping in a domestic, is the guy beating on her, might think you are a new boyfriend or somthing and he might up the beating later on.


Best bet is to call the police. Or restrain him and make sure he belives you dont know either of them. Then kick the livin shit out of him.
