Troll in the Dungeon of DV! Troll!
Hysterically stupid troll Njyoder posts on stupid_free about why nobody should ever call if they witness domestic violence (or what they believe might be domestic violence.)

Let me tell you, internets, if there were any a man I'd go to for advice on what to do in a DV situation, it'd be him. Because he apparently knows all about the history of DV and I? I don't. ::snerk::

Oh, and this person isn't exactly a shining beacon of intelligence or compassion either.

I have no idea whether your position on the subject of DV has merits or not. At the moment, I don't care enough to research it on my own. But you aren't on Fandom Wank because you're wrong, nor because you're right. You're on fandom_wank because you're a wanky asshole.

Wordy McWord with a side of Word and a slice of Word Pie for dessert.

Back in the mists of prehistory when I was young, I moved into an apartment with a college friend. The family next door to us had a lot of domestic issues, and my friend and I frequently called the cops to haul Dad away. But Dad was always back the next day, and boy was he ever pissed off then!

Dad was a resident at a local hospital - not sure if that was why (or part of why) he was always able to come back after being arrested or not. You know, that whole "doctors are God" thing. The wife always had bruises and the kid had a broken arm once. Neither spoke English very well, which may have been another reason they didn't/couldn't get help. They moved out at the end of the year, and I don't know what happened to them, but sometimes even all these years later I think about them and wonder.

In this case, calling the cops didn't do squat. And being a couple of young, dumb teenagers, my roommate and I didn't know what else to do.

Oh yes - let us not forget that anecdote =/= data.

I'll just clean up after myself now.
