    a friend of mine did the same thing before her domestic murder. the police (who are well funded in this town) did not want to take her seriously, and they did nothing. another friend helped her out and was subsequently murdered too.

    • Yeah, it can be extremely dangerous to intervene in domestic violence situations. IIRC, something like 50% of domestic violence related murders are actually bystanders who tried to stop the abuse.

        Completely unrelated but I do believe this is my first rimjobsteve moment experienced out in the wild.

      Sorry you lost friends that way. Hopefully the asshole that did it never sees the outside of prison ever again.
