your friend is probably dead by now. good job!

why would you call 911 for your friend for getting a black eye? you do know that 911 is for emergencies right? Now if she called and said "HELP HELP HELP MY HUSBAND IS BEATING ME" then ya i would call 911. other than that i would keep my nose out of your friends domestic issues, its none of your business.

Leadership inaction is not the same as leadership in action...

Be sure to put a letter in the mail to inquire if she's still alive.

My friend asked her sister to just give her a ring and hang up, if possible, to signal that situation is getting worse, in that case she will call the police for her, on her husband.

So the question to ATOT is how does my lady friend living in TX call 911 in her sister's city in GA?
<area code>-911
I've done it before and connected with the right parties.

Tell your lady friend not to worry as most chicks learn to LISTEN after one punch.

If my sister had a listening problem I would go check on things in person, armed.

Oh. Well, as long as he apologized. Everything should be fine now, it will probably never happen again.

All's never all well after an incident like that, but good to hear it didn't escalate.
