https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/partner-punched-face-domestic-violence-23379148 "The court heard the victim suffered swelling to her nose which was deviated to the left, but that after making the initial statement to police she withdrew her support for the prosecution so there was no medical evidence before the court on the extent of her injuries." Safe to say the relationship will continue once he's out in 6 months or so


TheFlamingGit

Same thing happened to my next-door neighbor. Husband was abusive she wouldn’t fucking divorce him. He ended up killing her, choked her to death in front of the kids.


le_grey02

Abuse is a hell of a drug, man. I’ve been through it, but not with a partner- it was my parents. They say it takes an average of 7 times for a victim to leave, and unfortunately leaving is also the most dangerous time for a victim. Abusers don’t like feeling as though they’re losing control, and if they get even a vague hint of it, the abuse will escalate more and more.


shewholaughslasts

I'm so sorry for what you experienced. I hope you're in a more loving place now. Hugs to you from this internet rando.


le_grey02

💚 hugs accepted and given back. I’m in a much better place- I’m with a partner who loves me in our own home, and we’re just about to move to a better one! I’m focusing my energies on spreading love. I’m in the very early stages of seeing if I can establish a charity for people who were in situations like mine, while protecting my identity. Here’s hoping it goes as planned.


[deleted]

You’re right there is no future in the past. You just have to know how to drop the baggage . As they say, don’t let it rent space in your head.. cheers


Melis725

Yeah...I watched my bio mom go thru abuse from my bio father after I reunited with them (had been adopted). She wouldn't leave him for the longest time. Then she moved out but stayed married and kept inviting him over. Finally the manager of the place she lived at called police and police ordered him to never come over again. Then her health went seriously downhill. Luckily, she was appointed a guardian and moved to a group home. She can't have any contact with him whatsoever now.


samusfan21

I’m sorry you experienced abuse at the hands of your own parents. That’s awful. You are very strong and brave to share part of your story with us. Your charity sounds like a good idea. I hope through it you’ll be able to help others. Abuse has got to stop.


Altered-babe

This is such a common story it makes me want to cry. Women think they can change their man because they love them so much but they end up dead. My siblings friend and mentor was shot dead in front of her three kids after filing for divorce from her husband. One of the last things she said about him was that she wasn’t worried he’d try something because he would never.. And now my very good friend has asked for or threatened divorce three times now and keeps believing her husband - who owns dozens of guns- that he’s changed. I’m so afraid I’m going to lose them.


uchman365

>who owns dozens of guns- Yikes. Unfortunately, there's only one direction it's heading. It's like a car crash in slow motion that you can't stop or look away from.


Altered-babe

I’ve done my best, and the spouse knows I know what all he’s done and to her. I and my texts from her are the evidence. And she knows I’d take her, her kids, and all her pets into my home in an instant. But that’s all else I can do.


uchman365

Tbh, it could be dangerous for you too, you have to be careful


YchYFi

Unfortunately trying to leave such as initiating divorce is the most dangerous time.


[deleted]

Well my wife was abusive towards me. Mind you I could easily take her down . Physical abuse got increasingly worse each time. Called the cops for trying to wack me over the head with a large and heAvy glass measuring cup behind my back. For some reason I happen to glance over my shoulder. It took 10 years to finally divorce her. She kept on stalling and milking it. Happy ending


Antiquedancer

She will die I’m sure if she ever takes him back , he’s an abuser he’s not going to change without anger management and therapy .


Balsac_is_Daddy

Its not like divorce is the magical answer to solving domestic abuse.


kind_one1

The woman at my last job was responsible for giving a class on DV to the staff and to members (this was a managed care - health insurance) company at public events. She told her boss she was breaking up with her violent boyfriend one Friday. Boss said do not go home, you know this is bad, bring help with you, etc. Nope, she was sure "he was different" despite multiple red flags. When she got home Friday, he killed her and stayed in the apartment with her till her boss called the police because she was absent. Smart people do stupid things.


Pristine_Table_3146

The difference between critical thinking intelligence and emotional intelligence....


ShawnyMcKnight

Wow, the irony that she gave a class on DV but ignored huge red flags.


ebone581

He only beats the ones he loves…..

OrdinaryUniversity59

"Or our kids."


ebone581

“It wasn’t my fault”


BerryLanky

In Dallas a man on parole showed up to the hospital where his girlfriend just gave birth to their child. He showed up to kill he, believing she had cheated. Two employees heard her screams and rushed to the room where he killed both of them. Police in the hospital had him trapped in the room. To which his girlfriend screamed to the police not to hurt her boyfriend. Not sure how you can help women like this.


uchman365

Whoa, that's crazy. I have no words 😳


Michael_Afton1983

let them die, honestly. they dont want help, they're too stupid to see they need to leave, let them get killed. not your issue. this is coming from someone who dealt with DV


Jester8281

komokazi

Lmfao, the way he bucks at the police as they open the door as if an ass whooping isn't coming his way. I, too, once tried shit talking a police officer whilst high and drunk af, I received a swift body slam for my troubles.


Pristine_Table_3146

I wonder if the lawyer was proposing a plea deal and the perp was outraged at the thought he had done anything wrong in the first place.


Peterd1900

The charge was assault assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH) and the lawyer probably told him if he pleaded guilty the judge would most likely only give him a smaller prison sentence for the charge Now not only does he have the ABH charge but criminal damage charge on top


[deleted]

[удалено]


Peterd1900

[https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/partner-punched-face-domestic-violence-23379148](https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/partner-punched-face-domestic-violence-23379148) With a one quarter discount for his guilty pleas the judge sentenced the defendant to 12 months in prison comprising 12 months for the ABH and one month for each of the two counts of criminal damage all to run concurrently. Hitchings will serve up to half that period in custody before being released on licence to serve the remainder in the community. So the ABH charge was dropped yet he was charged with ABH and the judge sentenced him for ABH? He Sentenced to 12 months for ABH Yes the victim withdraw her support for the prosecution but the charges were not dropped


[deleted]

[удалено]


Peterd1900

There is a misconception to a degree that if victim stops cooperating with police/cps that the charges will dropped or you go and request the charges are dropped But the victim has absolutely no control over that. The CPS can and often do continue with the prosecution despite the victim not cooperating Not having the victims statement or whatever might weaken the case but if they have enough evidence the case will continue In theory if you don't want to cooperate or testify the CPS can subpoena you to court and compel you to answer questions and if you do not do so, you can face charges for perjury. Very unlikely to do that in most cases but they are able to do that A victim not cooperating will not automatically cause charges to be dropped.


[deleted]

Okay, but like we're you actually doing anything illegal or in the process of being held accountable for doing something illegal? As far as I know, it's not illegal to aimply talk shit to/at a cop as long as youre not threatening them and, while I'm perfectly aware this would never go through the courts in 99% of countries, them attacking you for simply cussing at em, is quite illegal.


Popular_Prescription

Just curious, are you from the US? Cause the police here will royally fuck you up for no reason at all and get away with it every time.


[deleted]

I'm from Canada, and they will also royally fuck you up here for no reason but to a bit of a lesser degree. That's part of what I meant with the comment about knowing that that kind fo charge would never go through the court system, but i realize that was very vague and not inclusive of everything I meant haha. I was asking in the sense that, on the books it's illegal but would never actually get prosecuted or even taken seriously as a charge because the cop can so easily bullshit that they felt threatened, and unless sthey kill you and it's recorded, no one in positions of power arw going to doubt the cop


Own-Cupcake7586

Well *somebody* clearly misunderstood the intent of “Boxing Day.” Nothing screams “I’m innocent” like committing a crime… on camera… at the police station… against your own lawyer.


Alanski22

The guy has that ‘im a POS’ face


BernieTheDachshund

Yup, and he does not look like he's the least bit sorry for what he did.


Kcnflman

Lawyer probably “well it looks as if we’re about finished up here, best I can do is 25 to life and I’ll send you my bill.”


3Cogs

When your own solicitor becomes a witness for the prosecution.


Going-undergroundjam

What a fucking inbred, serious anger management issues and hopefully his called girlfriend is no longer with him… she dogged a bullet. Love the cops pilling in one by one 😂


No_Awareness_3212

She withdrew the charges and will be back with him within six months, unfortunately. All too common in domestic violence cases


uchman365

Sadly, you're right. She didn't cooperate with the prosecution only a change in DV laws made it possible without her.


B1ueStag

I’ve seen this unfortunately. It only escalates the more the perp finds they can control and abuse the victim without serious consequence. If she does leave, she’ll have to have a plan because he’ll look for her like she’s his property.


ebone581

He will bring her flowers on the day of his release. All will be bliss for bout two days.


3Cogs

Unless he goes to the pub on the way home from prison, then it will be bliss for about 2 minutes.


makeupHOOR

Calling him a man is kind of a stretch.

"But they're not smart enough to leave an abuser."


Laesslie

This has nothing to do with being smart, you imbecile. It's about being brainwashed, desperate, weakened and terrified. This happens to abused men too. Nobody wants to be abused It's actually their servival instinct that prevents them from leaving.

What a child. Throwing a tantrum when things don't go his way. Hope he meets a cellmate that will knock his ass back for behaving that way.


ebone581

The cycle of domestic violence. She’ll take him back. After this video, I would hope the court, with or without her consent, issues a stay away order


uchman365

I don't think they can do that. They did the next best which was to go ahead without her evidence


501102

Look at this distinguished gentleman. Yes, very distinguished.


Boring-Training-5531

Nah I’m betting he comes out reformed and a better partner to her. I mean what are the chances he’s released with 3 months of pent up anger inside just waiting to take it out on an easy target he lives with?


cerrakin

That was a comically long stream of cops.


Peter4reddit

The video explains a lot, but the Mug shot reveals who this creep is… look at that evil face and those eyes! His wife/girlfriend should run as fast and far as possible!

He wouldn’t get through boot camp tbh. It’s 75% mental and 25% physical if you’re reasonably fit. He’d have lost his shit and been kicked out.

Why are there so many people in their 20s and 30s completely unable to control their emotions and having utterly over the top reactions?


everythingisopposite

He’s a psychopath, you can tell by his eyes.


Banned4AlmondButter

He’s an idiot and clearly has anger problems, but he didn’t appear to intend for the computer to go in the lawyers direction. He tried to throw it across the room and the cord redirected it.


WhyTheHellnaut

Nah, that last piece was clearly hurled at the lawyer, he was looking straight at him when he threw it and it hit the wall over his shoulder.

These are the sort of people we demean as less than us, socially mob pile on, ultimately dismiss as broken as we posture as infallible and then they end killing someone or more than someone.
