Saw a Guy Beating Up a Girl

We are in the big rig in Houston. Twilight.
We were just getting on the entrance ramp to I 10. A car had pulled over on the shoulder of the ramp.
I was sitting there in the passenger's seat eating my salad. I saw the driver's door of the car fly open and a black girl was flailing around and trying to get out.
I told my partner to slow down, we were doing about 15 mph.

There was a * guy in the passenger's seat and I could see him beating hell out of this girl.
I told my partner to pull over right in front of them and stop. He did.

I grabbed my * cop flashlight and was jumping out the door to go see what was going on back there. I had one foot on the step of the truck, and my partner said "They are gone."

The car had pulled out, behind us, and roared on up the ramp and gotten on the interstate.

Well, as the cops say, I was about to get in the middle of "a domestic." Probably was about to get a bullet in the belly for my trouble. Ah well.

I can't stand a bully.

    Yeah, that's a tough one.

    Likely as not, the abused is the one who will shoot you too.

    Some folk are crazy.

    I can't say I'd have done anything different, but I'm glad you're still alive. [:)] We have enough stickies. [:D]
    The road to hell is paved with COMPROMISE.

    As I think back on it, I did put a stop to the immediate problem.
    I was looking that big bully right in the eyes as we went slowly past, while he was giving the left-right-left to the girl, and when we pulled in right in front of their car and I opened my door, he realized that a big truck driver was going to get out and discuss the matter with him.


    I am certain that is the reason he quit beating the girl. No doubt, he told her to get out of there fast.

    Perhaps, later tonight, she will slip away from his apartment, drive off to another city, and never see this sick woman-beater again.

    More likely this will be a "special" night for the pair, and in 9 months she will bear his child.

    A cell phone, 911, a license plate number and description.

    Hard to say after that though. Yes you could have been in for bad times. Good you tried to help, risky as hell but good.
