Is that a thing in NL ?

I remember in the US hearing people scream at the top of their lungs was ... normal, but in France it is almost unheard of, I think 2 cases I heard in 10 years living here.

@cjd I dont accept that shit

Same if i see someone assault a pet on the street, they're going down no matter what

I was just curious if it is a common thing out where you live.

I'm very happy with French culture in this regard because it seems almost nonexistent here.

@cjd Oh sorry!

Well yeah ish

I live in a very very crappy niehgbourhood that kinda impacts my mind..

Last week we had police twice in our street and there's only about 20-30 houses

@stux

Oh no such a bad sad situation. . . is this the apartment where the elderly couple lived?

stux⚡

@FallsMom Exactly!

They moved here from the Amsterdam but kinda took the city life with them

A lot of issues with police and such

@stux

Coming back as in primarily threatening you or "I do what I want I can come back whenever I feel like it"

@crichardson Definitly the first one

Now that I think of it, most of the fights I've been in was because other people where in an unfair-fight and I chose a side

I guess because since the Netherlands is relatively safe where one can do this without getting killed

One of the things that frustrates me a lot are those videos where something bad is happening to someone and people are just moving alone

I understand it's not safe to offer help in any country but it still hurts to see

Back in the days, some collegues went to
Saudi Arabia for work and they saw an accident happen but they where told to keep driving and act like you didn't see

Otherwise there was a big chance they (police) tried to blame you for it since you're an easy target as a foreigner

I'm not sure I can do that..

@stux my parents had the same experience. In Russia. They found it very disturbing.

@ZuilenV Goes against every bone in the body

Bianca

@stux exactly that.

@ZuilenV For now we're just trying to avoid such places at all

@stux Hearts to you for helping her and stepping in. Has she reached out for help? I used to do volunteer work for legal aid for domestic violence. It's very complicated. Especially where there's a child involved. Be safe and hearts to you again.

@stux yikes, added that to the long list of reasons why i will never visit saudi arabia

@stux

Sounds like a bruised ego, but you never want to underestimate violent morons. Hopefully she doesn't allow him inside....

If this asshole is violent, he may try to break into a residence.

This may be out of scope:

Security -
If your landlord doesn't throw a fit, a front door can be hardened-
* Grade 1 deadbolt
* Lock strike plate (ideally a 4-screw, with 3 inch screws to get in the studs) but make sure the frame does not need to be modified to fit the strike plate if opting for one.

@stux

Police murder between 1200-1600 Americans annually. Calling the po does NOT make you a bad ass. If you want to be helpful look up domestic violence resources in your area & make a better call if the bastard comes back.

@stux it's different now. They are trying so hard to appeal to white westerners. They still do that with brown people tho (yes including other arabs), probably to appeal to REALLY WHITE people.

stux⚡

@FranceskaMann It's my backup i am the first line

This is the NL and luckily not the US so in general police won't kill as fast
