Don't know. I have, though I got no thanks for it. After I punched the guy out, the "wife", or whatever, jumped on my case,..beating up on her little darlin' or whatever. Hell with it. Go ahead and get pounded, babe. You seem to like it.

- That can be a tough situation. That's why the most dangerous calls for police are supposedly domestic violence calls.

How would I know it was his wife? And how would I know the history to what was going on beforehand?

But if I saw ANY man hitting a woman in public, I would intervene, and have done so in the past.
Comments
- WHAT?!?!?!?
  What if she started it?
  Hmmm?
  If I say... Tried to hit some guy with a pickhammer and he boxed me I wouldnt be mad...Well actally I really would because that hurts... And I'd still try to pickhammer the guy, or shoot out his kneecaps in a dark alley, either way, they both work.

- Yeah, that`s why I stated about not knowing the history of what was going on beforehand. But any man hitting any woman would be deemed unacceptable in my books, and I would feel the need to do something.

- Haha well if it looked like a fair fight in any way I wouldn`t get involved. But I would consider getting involved in any altercation where one person was totally outmatched by the other person, regardless of gender.

- I do, but you dont have to be butch to be aggresive. I fight more in lacrosse than hockey, and that doesnt count. And I have the 'short' advantage. And I have a bunch of brothers so I know how to hurt people quite easily.

I did once in a bar and got an ashtray smashed over my head by the wife for butting in, I would quietly call 911, let the professionals handle it and mind my own business!

- I've met a guy in the real world who copped the same response - tried to intervene and the wife clobbered him for his trouble. Best to let them sort it out.

ABSOLUTELY Call 911!

I'm not interested in finding out what else that de-ranged idiot is going to do to anyone else - especially me.

IF his wife was one of my relatives or friends, I PROMISE you and everyone else, I would be the 2nd face that creep would see!
The first is that of his spouse.
I would be on that creep as fast as white is on rice!

Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it!

VTY,
Ron Berue
Yes, that is my real last name!

Sources: Because you asked.

Some personal observations.

OH HELL YES!!! I would be on the cell to the cops while my hubby was showing the man how it feels to fight a real man. I hate abusers!!! But I also hate a woman who thinks she can just hit a man and expect NEVER to get hit back. Most men that hit woman are just hitting them to feel like they are in control when in reality they have lost all control.

At my age, I'm not going to physically challenge some young guy who has gone ballistic in public. I would dial 911 and let the cops take care of it.

I would give it a shot. I'm not too big, but I'm scrappy. And I have no problems with fighting dirty. I'll poke you in the eye and throw dirt in your face.

I'd whip his ass and I'd enjoy every minute of it. I have zero tolerance for any man beating a woman. If it's a fight that this type of "man" wants, let him try on another man. Especially one anxious to see what he's really got.

It obviously means that she got out of the leg irons and escaped from the kitchen!! He's well within his rights to chase her down and make sure it never happens again!

Yes i would...Where i come from, you dont hit a woman. EVER. I'd probably kick the crap out of him but that still wouldn't change the fact that he's an a--hole.
