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.

@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.

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.

@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

stux⚡

@crichardson Yeah, Ill keep an eye out, even more then normal

We told her that she can call and yell anytime for help and ill come down

stux⚡

@miirak yikes.. as a "REALLY WHITE people" myself, it really disgust me..

Why can't humanity be about peace and love.. sigh

stux⚡

@jakeyounglol yeah, after many years it's still in my head..

stux⚡

@nomdeb Thank you ️

Yeah, she's under watch already with child services and such.. she's trying to avoid this I guess but it doesn't seem to work out

We only spoke a few times since they moved in

@stux
Thanks for your bravery and willingness to keep peace in the neighborhood. We're all in this together.

Be careful!

@stux custody disputes where one partner is obsessed and violent are awful, and it's hard to know if intervening helps. Had something like that happen many years ago where one of my neighbors was trapped in the parking lot with her kid while her ex screamed at her. I ran him off and he came back a few nights later, pounding at her door wanting to be let in. Called the cops and stood there filming until he ran off. A few days later, he kidnapped the child. Eventually she got the kid back but
