I bet you anything people will not do what they say they would when the actual moment comes in life. that's how things usually work out. The ideal thing to do, in my opinion, would be to call the cops then get involved so the person would not be fatally injured.

As a serial monogamist with major experience dealing with women, I can tell you women do their share of domestic violence.
And I don't need statistics to prove it. I've got a personal testimony. Have you?

Some may not do what they say (voted) on the poll. I can assure you that I would because I have done so. It wasn't easy to do, but it will be easier next time.

Last year I saw a teen-age boy in a car with a toddler in a car seat in the back. The boy had a belt, doubled, in his hand and was turning back and swishing the belt the little one, threateningly. I did not know if the belt hit the younger one, but I do know that when a teen-ager acts in this way, they have seen it done by others. If they have seen it done by others, they are quite likely to repeat it in similar circumstances. The police spoke to the teenager, and the adult woman who came running out of the store to see why the police were there. Message sent. Hopefully, message received.

The police thanked me, assured me that calling them was exactly the right thing to do. As I said, I'm sure it will be easier to address such incidents the next time.
