Men beating their girlfriends.

[Freya]

I had these upstairs neighbours a few months back. Neither one of them were the sharpest knives in the drawer, and he used to beat the hell out of her constantly, even while she was pregnant. I live on the main floor of a house, divided into 3 apartments - my landlord lives downstairs. So I used to tell him when they were particularly bothersome, and I even phoned the police a couple of times. Finally, after the morons managed to kill their newborn baby (by letting is sleep between them on a waterbed), they broke up and moved the hell out.

So then he rents to this nice young girl, and we think "Oh good. Peace and quiet for once." Right! Until the twit lets her boyfriend move in, and now I have to listen to him beating on her all the time. She's been upstairs crying hysterically for 25 minutes now. Frankly, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for her - but for fucks sake, I wish he'd either beat her quieter or she'd shut the fuck up. I'm trying to decide what to do - turn my music up loud so I don't hear it, or call the cops to tell them to please stop slamming bodies all over the not-so-noiseproof floors.

 

[Nora]

Please call the police.

 

[MorgaineLaFay]

Ditto.

 

[Ezarc]

I hate that shit. Can I visit so I can put the bf in the hospital?

 

[Azwed]

Doesn't canada have those good samaratain laws where if you see a crime and don't at least try to do something about it they will charge you with a crime?

 

[P. B. Walker]

Call the cops, put on some music, pull up a good sex story, and get to masturbating.

[huskie]

Please call the police.

yes. please.

 

[Aquila]

Call the cops or shoot the guy
Id prefer if you shot him.

I'd find it hard to masturbate with the crashing sounds, yelling and hysterical crying.

How the fuck could you masterbate when you know some girl is being beaten above you?

WTF

Please.

Actually I think they might be done for the night now - it's gotten pretty quiet up there. But if it starts up again, I will call - I promise. It's was just so much fun being called a fucking bitch, and other assorted things, for 3 months after I did it to the last pair, that I really dislike getting involved in these sorts of things. I'm going to have a little chat with my landlord tomorrow again.

We were actually wondering if it was something with the apartment that made people do that.

 

[CeceliaSkye]

Do you know how many women are killed every day in this world by their mates? It is hardly a humorous topic..

 

[Nighthunter]

call the cops and if they don't stop it, get her help yourself personally i'd tell the cops, "you stop it or i will"

 

[Debbie]

Call the police! Please! I was once like this girl.

I hope she isn't badly hurt, laying there quiet after
he has beaten the crap out of her. I would call the landlord
immediately too.

 

[Nora]

I know that there's probably reasons you're leery about getting involved, but the way you describe the setup of the house, you're the only one who's in a position to hear when he does it and notify the cops.

I can even understand why you don't have sympathy for her, but it's still the right thing to do. Besides, if you call the cops often enough, maybe it'll make them move out faster.

 

[littlekateyes]

Please call the cops.

Because it's not my problem. If I'd called the cops, I would have done all I could do without getting myself embroiled into the situation. It doesn't help to have me go up there and start shit with the BF. In the end, it is up to her to leave his ass. Only she can make that decision... and either she will or she won't and she'll endure the beating. Let me guess, you think I should sit downstairs and feel all broken up about it and let them ruin my "at home" life? So again, the best I can do is call the cops and go about my business and not let some dick ruin my life. Not to mention cranking the music up so I don't have to hear them. Either that or move out.

[Freya]

Ok, I called and asked them to check and see if she's ok.


Azwed - good samaritan laws? I don't know actually. But to be brutally honest, I'm a female who lives alone - and I have to live underneath these people for however long. I, frankly, do not much feel like having his anger transferred in this direction. Although he'd lose himself an important piece of his anatomy if he tried that shit with me.

 

[Zaudika]

...calling the police would definitely be a good thing to do. I know its frustrating and hard to get involved a lot of the time. But who knows.. you may be the person that finally makes things come into focus.
When you're in that situation you feel trapped... your addicted to the abuse.. and feel you deserve it. Etc etc.
Sometimes a person can say the right thing.. whether it be you.. or the cop that shows up.. and it will all of a sudden click into place.
Overall.. it might save a life also.. like Skye said.. a lot of people die constantly from this kind of abuse.

 

[Debbie]

Thank you Freya2. I know how hard it can be getting involved,
my neighbour behind me goes off like this at least twice a year.
I get so mad when I hear him beating her up and her screaming that I lean over the back fence and scream at him to have a go at me and leave her alone.

Not a good idea but it makes me so mad and afraid for her. Anyway? If he decided to approach me? I have a friend Mr Bat that would like to tap him on his nasty g/f bashing head. After he swung at me of course, then I would have to act in self defence. And yes I am an anti violence person.

He usually screams back at me to shut up and goes quiet.

If anyone tried this on me now? I would kick his ass.
(Ignore my long ramblings I'm still sick lol *sniff*)

calling the police is the safe approach for YOU, even then, after they leave you have put yourself at risk,not a good place to be for a woman who lives alone. good luck

Thanks, I appreciate it. =)

Again the best you can do is just call the cops... everytime you hear it. Just tell the cops you are a downstairs neighbor and you would like it very much if they would not tell "him" that you called in because you fear that he might start shit with you. The cops are very good at dealing with these types of issues. I guarantee that after they have to visit your house 4 or 5 times, they will get really fricking tired of it. I'm sure once he's dragged off to jail 5 or 6 times, he'll get the clue that you will hear it everytime and call the cops everytime. I would also think that once he's been dragged off the jail so manytimes.. the landlord would have a case to evict him... but maybe not. You'd have to check the lease.

Thank you for calling the police. It's a difficult situation to be in. I'd be freaked about the guy possibly coming after me too, however, I would still call the police.

I will never forget that if it weren't for a neighbor calling the cops when I was about 5 years old, my mother would likely have been dead. It really is no joking matter.
