Just saw my neighbor across the street beating his wife, then dragging her back in the house in a chokehold. It’s not the first time I’ve seen violence out of him. But this was definitely the worst. Did what you’re supposed to do, called the cops. They came and left, called me back and said they couldn’t do anything without video since neither of them were admitting to it.
As he pulled away in his van a bit ago he rolled down his window and yelled in my direction. We were the only 2 home in the neighborhood so it was obvious who called on him.
Guess I get to take my cig breaks outside with a gun on me for the foreseeable future, fucking love this world sometimes.

You did the right thing, even though you feel helpless. You`re a good human for trying.
Talk to his wife and give her one of the many articles that say she is more likely to die if he is willing to strangle her at any point in his abuse. She is now 750% more likely to be killed by him from any means

Might need to get ahold of some cheap cameras pointing that direction. Wyze has them and they’re inexpensive. Both for your own protection and if something like that happens again and you can catch it again, that guy might actually face some consequences. Good on you for trying to help that poor woman out.
