Tonight, my first night in the town in five years, drinking with trusted friends and what should happen, but a young lady hyperventilating  after which came later, some pissed up man had punched her in the stomach. Anyway, I cannot walk by and see someones in distress, so I helped out, fiends stopped the hyperventilating and comforted the lady. Pissed up boyfriend turns up and starts a fight with those helping out, I try to reason with pissed up boyfriend, only to be attacked by his friends. The police turn up, and it is me that is questiooned by the police with threats of arrest. I came to the conclusion I was alone, therefore a target for police, the mob, they did nothing about, perhaps too much for them,. Anyway, an ambulance was called, the lady sorted out, and the thumper arrested, but I still got hassle from boyfriend and his friends.

So after tonights foray into the town I have come to the conclusion town is an evil place at night and the PTSD I once suffered from and thought gone, is still there, pissed up people seem to rekindle it.

But my problem was a person in need required help, that is my prime concern, I cannot walk by, I cannot allow a person to suffer in pain and tears,l just have to help out,as it seems to hurt me to see someone unghappy,. But there are others, drunk and looking for fights, hurt upon hurt upon hurt.

I will not go into the town again at nigh,for I cannot deal with violence.

So in the morning on reflection of last night, I will not go into the town again at night, for what is seen on tv, the police stuff dealing with irrational drunks is very true. It is irrationial and it is illogical, but drink is not the only problem for there is an undercurrent of violence in people, I will in future stick with my local pubs.

As it was the friends that helped out were military, one just back from a second tour in Helmand province, the other a pilot, it seems it is in military people to help out, something inside over rides the fun when there are people who need help. As for the police, yeah I understand they have a difficult job, but they could learn to use their brain when dealing with situations, for they do their service reputation no good at all.

Perhaps what it is, is society has moved on from what I remember it, for I certainly do not remember the level of violence and agitation in people as I witnessed last night, maybe it is a sign that I am getting old, anyway, the town can keep it's violence, I am in future keeping away from it and especially the police, useless fecks as always.

The PTSD that I thought was gone is not, for it is back.

What's even worse worse is when you help someone and then they go straight back to the dude. I've been in situation like the OP and it's almost useless really, some woman, gets beat on or otherwise by her man, she runs crying asking for help.... like a fool, you help, next day or week, or whatnot, the bitch is back for round 2, 3, 4, 5. Same story different day.

I'll admit I'm less likely to help people than I used to be, especially when alcohol is involved, because most of the time, it helps nothing.

I got involved with a situation with a  "woman" running across the street screaming and crying her boyfriend was beating her, she never pressed charges, went back to him, and on top of it, they have a grudge now, because "I'm a snitch" for calling the cops. LOL.

Most people are shit... just a fact.

I don't envy the police having to interact with those types daily, however, they also are rude, and apathetic, towards others as well, though, I would be to I suppose if I dealt with the worst people everyday, thus why I'm not a cop.
