Friend is physically abusing his wife... do I have a play?

[RunyonAve]

If you feel the need to get involved but dont want him to beat up on you too, you can talk to him about it, but make it about him not her. Make sure he knows that you don't want to see your friend in jail for something that could have been prevented.

hack into his WoW account and dump all his online stuff to random people. Then he will kill himself.

I'd talk to Darren and basically tell him to get his [censored] together before what's left of his life finally falls apart. There is absolutely no good reason to be abusing a lady.

Also, for those of you who always enter these threads with advice that says "do nothing"--know that you're a blight on society. Turning a blind eye to something like this often helps to encourage more violence.

Anyone else picturing 'Comic Book Guy' from the Simpsons?

So you're best friends with a fat, wife-beating unemployed World of Warcraft geek? WTF.

A fair enough judgement, given the information at hand. I'll just say he's changed and that he and I aren't as close as we were when we were younger.

I would [censored] his fat ass up.

I'm 5'8", 135. He'd kill me.

The other option is to tell him he's a walking piece of worthless [censored] and if he ever lays a finger on her again you'll call the cops and testify against him in a heartbeat.

I still care enough about the guy to want to help him turn his [censored] around, though... sending him to jail is an option, I'll admit.

Apparently he picked her up (he's about 6'4", 290 and she's around 5'2", 125) and threw her across the room and into a wall

Darren's been skipping work to play World of Warcraft and poker, and Lena's taken a 3rd job just so she won't have to go home.

WTF. Just do the world a favor and kill this piece of trash, preferably in painful fashion.

"None of my business" is not even remotely defendable. Even suggesting it is pathetic.

You're right. I think I misworded that part; what I meant was "many people will say to let them work it out on their own," a statement with which I disagree. The reason I posted about the situation is because I want to do something, but having no prior experience in anything like this I'm looking for a little guidance.

And for those suggesting I "dump" the guy as a friend, you're right - I should and, to a certain extent, I have. He and I hardly ever see each other anymore and that's mostly my doing. However, as previously stated, I still care enough about him to want him to turn his life around.

Roll a ten-sided die to determine if he gets tortured to death or just shot in the head.
