Domestic Violence in Oahu
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Reposting from Curtis Kropar Mike K: Summarized due to length. "PR# 26-103320 - This is more for documentation and reflection. I am not pressing charges. If you were involved in an incident on Bethel Street in Chinatown Friday night around 11:45pm while trying to help someone who was being attacked, I have your black rim glasses. I was the person being attacked. I witnessed a domestic incident where a man was dragging his girlfriend up the street in a headlock/choke hold and hitting her. After watching on video for about 10 minutes, I went outside to try to get him to stop. Instead, both of them attacked me. She was actually the first to confront me and was more aggressive, defending him and telling me to leave. When others tried to help, both of them went after those people too. At one point I put the guy in a hold to stop him from attacking people and kept yelling for someone to call the police, but people around us kept saying not to call. While I was on the ground holding him, the girlfriend punched me in the head multiple times. Most of my injuries are from her, not him. After everything, the guy actually apologized and shook my hand. The girl returned a phone that was dropped and didn’t steal it. It was a chaotic situation and not what I expected when I tried to help someone I thought was in danger. What would you have done? Tried to help or stayed out of it?"
