Domestic violence and you...

This sunday i witnessed the most horrific attack on a person I'd seen to date in my life...We were leaving Wine in the Woods..everyone was on this euphoric high..wandering around the woods aimlessly getting their wine taste on and eating good food..and listening to good music..we go back to the car..and i hear this sound...u know the sound of someone being hit..that's how hard he hit her..i turned around to witness a 6 ft something man hitting a woman in the face with a closed handed fist...my first instinct was to run and help..but i imagined what he would do to me...he was clearly drunk..he kept slammin the door, open and closed..hitting her on and off intermittently for about 5 minutes..the driver of the car was screaming for his boy to get in...i immediately took down the vital information and got my best friend to call the police...obviously the police lines were flooded with accounts of this attack...we followed the car..so did many others...out of no where i guess another chick jumped in the car to shield the woman from the attack but that didn't stop dude...he stomped and hit this other woman in the back trying to get to this woman..i thought to myself what was so bad that u had to lay your hands on that woman like that...eventually the man fled on foot..but the driver tried to pull off...some citizens blocked him in... As i closed my eyes and said my prayers i could only see this man hitting this woman in her face with his fist...i cried for a few moments...it was horrible..she was barely coherent herself..they all were clearly inebriated... I implore you..if u see and attack..think smart and report it..don't just stand around and look..u could save someones life...Lord knows what he would have did to her if he had gotten away...

and this has been on my spirit for a few days now..and i was trying to deal with it..
don't u hate when someone recounts their weekend..and u were not apart of it..especially when they've complained about not hanging out with u..and their response is..i tried to call u oh well..or whatever...it almost makes u mad.. i had 2 incidents of this..this weekend..i had to work on saturday..and my comp was up..but i was barely at it because the traffic in this office as a mess...imagine about 100 students in about 1 hour..we were swamped..granted my phone is janky at times...but it's peculiar i got about 10 calls saturday no one complaining of not being able to reach me...and i have text..i think it was just a cop out..eh ...i'm over it tho..but i had to purge the last remnant of those thoughts...
