is wrong with our system when someone steps into a domestic dispute, only to protect a lady from bein beat, and gets charged with assault.!!! wtf again.!!!!!!!!!

I guess that depends on how much "protecting" he did...lol

That's why why I stay out of peoples business

same world where if you shoot a burglar in your home and he doesn't die.....he can sue you for everything you have.......

go figger.......

was arrested booked n printed, i woulda let him go, but im not a judge.!!

We live in a litigious society, and I never get tired of saying the word "litigious."

It's pretty sad is all I can say.

Just like if your in a argument with someone and all you do is take your finger and poke them with it again they can file assault charges. Sorry but unless they actually hit or at least shove them down I don't see where those charges should stick.

i hear ya bro, im gettin real tired of our lax laws.!!!

did he assult the guy? and did the guy already assult the woman?

also you arent allowed to protect yourself unless you are hit first...

the guy helped her from bein assaulted, now there goin on evidence if she comes foward. well bein her boyfriend who knows its just not right, his girlfriend has become "all of a sudden i cant remember patient".!! bs jmo

yeah. its like did that person stop at self defense? or did he go too far?

i don't care what the laws are, certain incidents the cop/cops or their superiors can let it go..looks to me they got into a domestic dispute with their ladies the night before

ohhhhhhhh witnesses!!!

In all honesty... I don't see our government and legal system holding up long enough for me to be dead before it changes. No government lasts forever. And usually that makes for a whole new set of laws.

well, here in Florida we have a 'Stand your Ground' Law, where if you are protecting yourself, your property, or another person from bodily harm, the State will have a VERY hard time trying to prosecute you. Even if, as a few posts above me said, you shoot a burgler and they don't die, under the Stand law, they cannot sue you if they were involved in illegal activity at the time of getting shot.

I used to be a police officer and when working a domestic, my focus was on the perp and the victim. There were occassions when others stepped in to protect the vic from the beating. I did not focus on those unless they just plain beat the s&*t out of him, more so than trying to help the victim, and usually because the perp made such a scene about wanting to press charges then I was made to fill out a complaint against him.

Anyone who hits a woman or child deserves what he gets. Same for a woman who hits a man or a child.

when I went to the academy, they teach you its better to be carried by six then tried by twelve... GUN CONTROL.. is being able to shoot straight.

and as for the original question. its called LOVE that's why a domestic dispute is a law enforcements worst nightmare. One or the other involved will repeat will come to the aid of their spouse.. never fails.

The same system that tries to charge you with breaking and entering for shutting someones car lights off for them.



Don't Panic!

I did that In November, got charged with assualt and then got jumped by 3 of his friends 3 nights later, got a fractured jaw and lost 3 teeth out of the deal!!!
