I think the world is in trouble because too many people "keep out of it" when they could help. It is everyone's responsibility to help if they can, and not just let situations get worse by turning a blind eye.\n\nWhat if the situation had turned violent?\nThen you are justified in defending yourself.\nThe important thing here is you didn't start it.\nBut giving in to bullies is never the answer.\nYou did the right thing and I for one am proud of you.

I could only imagine the pandemonium that would ensue. Hypothetically speaking, put a group of five coworkers together and spike their coffee with it. It would be a matter of minutes before the fighting started. Imagine that on a bigger scale, and rivalry of two teams to boot. Wild thought you had there. Made me think. Good question for funsies.

it would in all likelyhood be very very bad, i see very scary people on pale horses, the end of peace as we now know it, and a shift in the global power structure.\nits questions such as this that could bring down the house that man built. Such a cruel question indeed,that never the less deserves an answer that only the strongest of us can answer. very awsome ?  regards JuJu

You could try the website of the state it would have happened in or the government site. But it would probably be restricted.

If the disputes were loud.  If you yelled, if he grabbed your hand... it all depends.

Proably best not to think about it. I'm sure it would have been brutal though. Isn't it great that we have advanced to the point that people are free to make comments like that.

You need couples counselling. Crossing the boundry into physical violence during a fight is an extremely serious problem - one that won't go away by itself.

Certainly - there is no other choice.\n\nI would not stoop to their level and reciprocate with a similar act or with violence, but I would not condone such behavior or let the offender think that such behavior is consequence-free. \n\nI would contact the police and if it were an arrestable offence, I would pursue legal action to the fullest extent.

well they must take into account the danger of the situation , they should find out what they want and then try to sort it out without any more violence

Phrase your posting in the form of a question, as in:  "What do you think of the shootings on Capital Hill this morning?" rather than just posting that it happened. Then you aren't abusing the site and you are still informing us of what is going on. I discovered the shooting incident due to your earlier question, so I appreciate it!

They will send a car to the area and they will drive around and see if they see him.  ( exactly how physcially attacked was she will make the difference)  he was merely threatening her, they will not look as hard.\n\nAnd then alot will depend on what size area you live in,  I actually caught a person in Atlanta that had boke into a car and stole a purse ( a felony)  but the police were so busy with armed robbery and a shooting, they took over an hour to come, I could not hold him for that long, so I had to let him go.\n\nso in atlanta, you would be lucky for them to even come over and take a report

If het dared to make a commotion at my son's funeral. My mates and I would put them in hospital before the police could get them.\nThen they could re-think their views in bed for a few weeks.
