New Riffraff in Town
Posted in Movies on 08/04/2007 01:45 am by enjanerdAs Ian and I were heading out on the town tonight, around 9:30pm, we were met in the lobby with a couple screaming at each other. They walked out of the building at the same time as us and we tried our best not to make eye-contact. But as we walked down the loop in front of our building, they were met by another man and two children (girls, about 3 and 9). The profanity and yelling increased. There was shoving between the two men.
Ian and I headed toward my car as they crossed the street to a moving truck. We turned to keep an eye on the scene and the angry man was back to yelling at the woman. He had backed her up against the truck and it sounded like he spit on her… and she spit back at him.
At this point, still standing across the street from this ruckus, we decide we should probably call the police before leaving the scene. Ian calls, gives the location, describes the situation, etc. And as we’re standing there, describing the people and their vehicles, the angry man gets into the moving truck and drives away… with the woman and second man chasing after, trailed by the older child trying to carry the younger one and keep up. They get about half a block up the street before turning around to get back into their car.
Woman and children stay in the car while the man goes into the building. An unmarked police car arrives with 3 officers inside. They get out and try to talk to the woman in the car. A minute later a second, marked, car arrives, followed shortly by a third… and fourth.
And then, um, Ian and I left to watch The Bourne Ultimatum, which was so much cooler than domestic violence.Princess Lillifee video
