You Can't Beat Me!




Originally I contemplated writing something really long and personal about my experiences with domestic violence (in same sex partnerships) but for now I'm opting out. So I'll just say this:

Recently a friend of mine called me to her aid as she was victimized in a domestic violence situation. By the time I reached her the squabble had ceased. I attempted to guide her out of her place of residence, her partner ignited an altercation with myself and my girlfriend. The entire situation got so out of hand that the proper authorities had to be phoned. Upon, their arrival, the aggressive partner was lightly restrained, as the police officers engaged her in conversation.

While restraining her partner, my friend was allowed into their shared home to grab a few of her things. The police followed in their cars as the partner stalked steadily behind. Officially off the residence and walking to our means of transportation the officers removed themselves from the scene and all seemed to be well. Paranoid and afraid my friend glanced back to see once again, her persistent lover following us. Police nowhere in sight.

Her partner refused to leave us be, and wouldn't allow us to get on with ourselves. My girlfriend phoned the police once again. This would make it the third time in one night that the same officers were called to the scene. When the arrived this final time, they showed up sneering indignantly saying we called to get a free ride. Upset we told them someone would have to end up dead before they offered this battered woman any significant help.

If this were a case of a man physically abusing his significant other they would have probably taken him in. In a same sex domestic dispute, officers usually view it as a cat fight or a situation posing no real harm. But Wat happens when the seemingly harmless crime results in homicide and often times, suicide? I don't even think that the police have to take the assailant into custody without a notable amount of blood or bruises. So I'm thinking this means to just let the gays and the queers kill each other off! This girl was almost twice her size and obviously very angry and had very little self control!

Yes, we've all fought with our girlfriends. Sometimes these fights end up physical, Sometimes we really hurt each other. Whose gonna save us from our terrifying, intimidating girlfriends who are beating the holy hell out of us. Who determines who really poses an extreme threat? People we have to start indulging in self control, first for ourselves, and than our lovers and families. We have to learn that if we really love something than, we should let it go. When she says no, YOU STOP!. We all have to learn from mistakes and etc. No one is perfect, or is capable of evading the facts of life. What's done in the dark, must come to light. There's someone watching you as you choke her, push her, slap her, and harm her. Get Yourself some help! We should learn how to teach each other to love!
