good job!

I will never initiate violence against anybody (male or female). And props to your police for pressing charges. I think that my local police might do that as well, though not sure.
 
Denis: Wow, you are a regular Rambo lately. Good for you, not turning your head. Maybe now she will get help, and the child can have a good life because you stepped in. 🙂

As men it is our responsibility to treat women with utmost respect & gentleness.

Ahh, if only more men understood that concept. Just because I want the right to vote does not mean you should slam the door in my face instead of holding it open for me. 😉
 
<<Because society is currently raising a generation of men that does not value women; a generation that views them as objects rather than something to be treasured.>>

Baloney. The violence you are refering to has been present in our society for a thousand years or more. Ever heard of the rule of thumb?
 
Dennifloss: how's that for excitement!!! As for the assholes part, I think it's almost impossible. Women who likes assholes tend to have low self esteem and can't seem to change that. The poor thing.
 


<< BTW, a few years ago there was a lady in New York who was stabbed to death while people in appartment buildings were listening to her screams and watching. No one called the cops. no one wanted to get involved. I am already a 'lawful good' person if one were to put it in terms of AD &amp; D alignment but that story shocked me and I pledged to myself that day that I would never be just an onlooker >>



Yeah....that story really horrified me too! I'm glad you took the initiative and called the Police before that poor woman got brain damaged or killed.
 


<< However, lets not only point the fingers to guys...women do it too. In fact, most women think it's ok for her to slap or hit her husband/boyfriend/whatever and she shouldn't get hit back...thats not true. If you can lay the hit on someone then you can take the punch >>



Fetts....there is a difference as far as strength goes, one hard punch from a 200+ lb man can give a woman (or another guy) life threatening injuries. That said, NO ONE should tolerate physical violence from ANYONE....if a woman should hit a man, he should walk out the door and NEVER return IMO.
 
Good job, Dennilfloss. I had to do the same thing a few years back, but I had to physically rescue the lady because her husband was trying to kill her. He also went to go get a gun to use on me for interfering with their little fight. Luckily the SWAT team got there quick and took him down hard. People are crazy these days, so be careful. He probably will get out on bail fairly soon and he might just come looking for you.....
 
it's really a pain to know that. i always couldn't understand why some couples could end up like this. i mean, they fall in love with each other and that's the reason why they get together, and how could it possibly ended up in this scenario?

take me as an example, no matter how mad / unhappy i am, i won't beat my gf... that's just not right!
 
&quot;Why are there so many of them amongst young men nowadays?&quot;

Because women don't press charges. Because women keep going back for more. Because they marry guys and have kids with them even though they abuse, belittle and beat them even while they're dating. Women are inherently irrational. C'est la vie...
 
man, dennil is one bad ass mofo (dont let the picture fool you). he kicked some guy's ass the other week as well. you go, guy.
 
good going Bro!

I never understood why women kept going back for more pain and punishment! it boggles my mind, everytime I hear a story like this. I just know that when he gets out, she will go right back to him. Sad! 🙁
 
Geez, Dennis, you've got me considering nominating you for the Order of Canada. Perhaps you wouldn't qualify for that, on account of your lack of Celine Dion's Diva status. Still, maybe this one would do?

Regards,
Craig
 
dennifloss, you are the best, man. I hope that guy rots in jail, and that woman realizes that he should rot in jail. :|



<< It's all about power and control. She probably got pregnant thinking that he would change once he was a father. He probably got her pregnant so that she would never leave him. Two 20somethings having a child for the wrong reason. >>

Or they just weren't careful, because they couldn't care less. Happens all the time around here.

Excellent. 🙂 Good pledge - one that I've made myself.

My stoopid people stories:

I remember in Montreal one time I was sitting at the back of the bus and was getting annoyed that the bus wasn't moving after sitting several minutes at the stop. Then people starting looking out the window. A few more minutes the bus still doesn't move. People are still looking out the window. Finally I get up and look out myself. I see a disabled person lying on the icy road just outside the bus door, unable to get up. Just as I was about to get off the frickin' bus to help him, somebody else on the street saw him and helped him up. WTF??? People were standing literally 3 feet away from him for 5 minutes just looking at him. 😕

Then there was the time at the Vancouver hockey-induced riot. People were finally going home and one drunk guy bumped a little kid as he walked by. It was not on purpose, the kid was not hurt, and the drunk guy apologized profusely. Then the kid's father, also drunk, starting screaming at the first guy. I stepped in when it looked like they were going to go at it. Talked them down a bit. Then the kid's mom came by (also slightly tipsy) and I was glad because I assumed she was going to pull the kid and his father away. Nope, she starts screaming at the first guy too. Meanwhile the kid is there watching all this. Finally I managed to pull the first guy away.

WHAT THE FVCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE???


 
&quot;to recognize people who, through exceptional long-term efforts, have made outstanding contributions to the well being of their communities.&quot;

Craig,

What I did is not exceptional or outstanding. I simply did my duty and duty is a word that strikes a deep chord within me. I don't need awards. I just wish that everyone would act when such crap is witnessed. That's all.

One thing that people fail to recognize (or willingly choose to ignore because it is uncomfortable) is that, like incest and sexual abuse, domestic violence is most often a learned behaviour. The boy who constantly sees his mother being smacked around and hears her say that it's her fault, ends up believing it, even if just on a subconscious level. He then may later be more prone to view the behaviour as normal and re-enact it with his mate. Ditto for the little girl who sees the low self-esteem and unwarranted guilt expressed by her mother. When such a little girl grows up and looks for the grown-up equivalent of that little boy, the cycle starts again.

The cycle has to be stopped at some point. :|

Swastika's eh? What is she doing going out with a guy who has SWASTIKASoh his damn arms??!!!! Didn't her mother teach her ANYTHING?! I'm not saying that it's her fault, or that she asked for it, but like, come on, some things just tip you off you know?
Nice work Dennilfloss, I was just in Ottawa, I thought it was a nice safe looking place.. I thought &quot;maybe I can move here one day, it's so much more peaceful than Toronto&quot;.. I guess not eh? Oh well, out to the bush with me..
 
there is a saying:
if a woman is beaten once shes a victim
if a woman is beaten again shes dumb.

i think that this is the worst, a woman often doesnt have a choice or she has low low self esteem.

plus if shes in love i could see why she would stay. if my boyfriend hit me (though he never would) i wouldnt leave him.

your thoughts?

*kat. <-- :|
 
congrats to you for doing the right thing and calling the police, too many people today would have simply turned a blind eye to the problem, i salut you

What's there to say? That pretty much makes my point!
