I called 911 today.

I was coming home from picking up new boots and going southbound on the highway. On the northbound shoulder were two people (male & female) who were out of their car walking down the road. I realized the woman was trying to get away from the man but he caught up with her. (I have slowed down at this point, but not past them yet.) He started punching her repeatedly in the face. I sure as hell wasn't going to stop but I felt like I had to do something so I called 911 to report it.

Overkill?

  • OMG. Definitely not overkill. It would have taken everything I had not to stop that car. (I know, really, what could I do?! Lol)

  • I would have done the same thing.

  • Holy crap.  Not overkill.  Do you know what happened after you called?
  • Holy shiit!  You absolutely did the right thing.  You shouldn't have stopped considering you're pregnant.  If I didn't have the baby in the car with me I may have stopped and tried to pepper spray the guy but no one would blame you for not stopping, pregnant or not.

  • OMG...so not over kill.  I will say that if I was around when the police showed up I would have watched them put his sorry a$$ in hand cuff!!!!
  • Agreed - definitely not overkill. You did the right thing - I just hope the situation was resolved and the woman's OK.

  • Not overkill. He could have killed her. I hope she's ok and I hope he's in jail!

  • Wow, that's wild that you witnessed that and it's good that you called 911. I hope they were able to get to her in time.

    I don't want to be on MSNBC, yo.
  • I would have done the exact same thing although I might have also tried to run him over. Oops?

    I don't. I was hoping someone would call me but I don't think that's how things work. I didn't want to hang around because we were in the middle of the highway so it would be obvious that I called the cops.

    Yeah I figured that's probably what happened.  It's so awesome that you called; I wonder how many other people just drove by thinking someone else was going to call the police.

  • HELLS NO! you did the right thing. If us girls don't look out for each other, no one will.... Girl Power booo!
