TwoX user hears loud domestic argument in upstairs apartment, calls the cops because "I was genuinely scared for this woman"

I actually lost friends at one stage because I had the nerve to stand up for myself when a woman in our crew was berating me for no reason during a drunken night out and treating me like shit

This happens so much. The girls can act any way they want and attack you out of the blue, but if you give any kind of resistance your friends will take her side every time.

I remember a story this year about some guy in Sydney(?) who had the cop called because he was yelling "get back here, I'm gonna kill ya" etc with banging and crashing.

Turned out he was chasing a spider through the house.

Holy shit, that hilariously /r/ThatHappened top post:

A few years ago, our downstairs neighbors, a former professional boxer and his girlfriend, got into it with each other. At one point, she was screaming "stop" and "help". My husband and I called 911. After the police came, he stopped attacking her and focused on finding out who call the police on him. I could hear every word he yelled. I watched as the man walked to every house surrounding ours, banged on the doors and eventually came home. He yelled about how he knew it was me. My husband and I spent the next few hours at home. When I had to leave the house, I made as little noise as possible. I made it to my car just as the neighbor came running out. He backed me against my car and towered over me. He yelled about how what happens in his home is his business. He screamed at me and made me feel so small. When he finished, I straightened up, told him that when his girlfriend is yelling for help, it is my business. I also told him that if he ever spoke to me in this way or tried to intimidate me again, I would make it my business to get the police involved. He had no response. I don't think anyone ever stood up to him. He never talked to me again. I doubt what I said changed his behavior and attitude towards his girlfriend, but I hope she appreciated the help.

A professional boxer was being violently abusive, then went around the neighborhood threatening and abusing people in the middle of the night and no cops were called and then somehow magically found out it was you who called...

And despite them coming up to you and threatening you, you told them off and they backed down and ran away scared?

I mean fuck, the bullshit these people make up is bad enough but that ridiculous story takes the cake.

My upstairs neighbor and her boyfriend were screaming so unbelievably loud and stomping around (I don't know what the bang noises actually were) that I genuinely was scared for this woman.

"I wish I had a boyfriend. They keep leaving after a couple of dates for some reason. What do you mean that's what wild sex sounds like, officer?"

I called 911 (and I am selfishly terrified that they will tell her it was me who called- the man is large and that frightens me if he knew I called) and told them that it could just be an argument but that I would feel so awful if something happened to her and I hadn't called.

"I'd feel even worse if I missed an opportunity to entangle myself in my neighbors business, especially since my cats don't provide much in the way of stirring social interaction."

I would feel so embarrassed if the cops showed up because my husband and I got in a fight and if that is all it is I feel awful for calling.

"Actually I wouldn't because that would mean I had a husband."

I am sure I did the right thing better safe than sorry but I am just panicking (and home alone) and needed to vent in a space I feel safe.

"It's almost as bad as that time that one of my cats slipped out the front door and I couldn't find her for fifteen minutes!"

TwoXC is not a healthy place. It was literally built with the intent of creating an anti-male gynocentric space. It is not only created in misandry but breeds it and supports itself through it as well. The amount of women who go on there looking for "hugs" because they basically crossed paths with a man, looking for reaffirmation for their prejudices, is just pathetic.

Oh yeah, I saw that post. Honestly, I think it's an improvement for TwoX though. That's not nearly the kind of vitriol they would've had in the old days, especially since that's one of the worst recent posts on the sub. I'd say being turned into a default sub backfired on them, hard. They're nearly toothless, and the hardcore feminists have been fleeing in droves lamenting the loss of a safe space.

Comment from that thread:

You may have made him stop this time however next time it will be worse for her. The only way to be safe is to leave him.

WTF, why assume that the man is the abuser?

In my previous career in law enforcement, I responded to dozens of domestic dispute calls. I never saw a single incident where a woman needed medical attention, but attended the autopsy of two men killed by their wifes...one stabbed in the heart with a steak knife, the other shot.

Anecdotes are worth what they're worth, but tell me men are more dangerous because they're stronger, and I can point at two dead guys stretched out on tables that say otherwise.

I called the police once over domestic violence, but it wasnt equal screaming it was a guy beating his girl up and you could hear it (i.e shouting and banging from the guy, crying and whimpering from the woman).

if two voices are in a heated argument i would do jack shit unlike this interfering bitch.

hearing equal voices (and actual argument) and automatically assuming therefore she is in danger is total horseshit.
