Never intervene in domestic situations, Even police get killed responding to those calls!

I intervened in a domestic dispute once, the guy was standing over and screaming at the girl all curled up and crying. As soon as I got involved and got the guys attention…..you guessed it, then girl flipped a switch on me. I thought I was going to have to fight her! I think she saw it as her chance to get back on the guys good side. Crazies are everywhere.

NEVER EVER break up a fight between a man and a woman who are romantically involved. The danger and emotions involved in these situations have no limits.

Remember fellas. If you see a man beating on a woman DO NOT I mean DO NOT intervene. 1. It’s definitely not the first time it’s happened. 2. The lady will legit attack you or blame you for hurting their husband/boyfriend. I know from experience. It’s not worth getting involved, and it’s not worth your life.

"Don't save her, she don't wanna be saved"

And whomever the females is that was being assaulted, I bet she's with the killer right now most likely on the run.

guy gets killed: never get involved in other peoples issues.
guy saves the day: what a hero always looking out for others. we need more men like him!

Perfect example of No good deed goes unpunished.

Moral of the story is mind your business "especially If you are unarmed"

[gilldavidmour]

Yeah, the victim seemed like a good guy. Looks like he finished last.
Really, he should have called 911 on the man.

[Steve-yold]

Sorry, unless you're armed and know what you're doing, better off calling 911 and observe!!!

[motownbaby]

Are you kidding me, this man saw a couple in their car fighting late night at a gas station and thought it was a good idea to intervene. Jesus Christ what was he thinking. 😔

[cwcroswell]

Always call law enforcement. Never ever never get involved in other peoples affairs unless you are attempting to stop deadly force which in that case may the force be with you. Always remember to take out their eyeballs first if you can. They can’t do much when their eyes are ripped out.

[arymonem]

Don’t ever get too close to someone who’s very angry. They always do irrational things.

[wiseguy]

Happens in the black community everyday. Y’all be careful.

My cousin was a cop in Atlanta and said domestic calls were the most dangerous. That and serving warrants!

[themechanicman]

First off don't be at gas stations in the middle of the ghetto late at night cuz you could be mistaken for wrong identity secondly make wise decisions which would be with the number one before secondly so that being said if you take soda and you put baking soda in it what happens or if you leave it in the freezer what happens the point is all this could be avoided by just keeping yourself in a position that you know when you're you and your families going to be safe

[tbaymufon]

Ohh damn, our reporter looks a bit chilly.

[leipersgreen]

Well, he doesn't look like he's trying to stop a fight, but rather start one. It's so hard to tell with these people anymore.

To add my two cents: one night I saw a couple that lived a few doors down in the parking lot having a bitter argument.
She was in a car, he was standing outside. She rolled the window up and he proceeded to put his fist through the glass.
You know how hard he had to punch to do that. Couple of nights later, I saw them again - he had his hand in a cast and
his tongue down her throat. So glad I didn't stick my nose into it when I saw them fighting.
Take away: if the guy is beating a woman he doesn't know, try to help her. If he's fighting with his ol' lady - steer clear,
call the cops if it's serious.
Brother was trying to do the right thing, but he paid with his life.
