i just witnessed an incredible family dispute not long after 1am.
(hidden for length)
[hide]drunk girl following her dad after a family dispute, calling him every name under the sun, and screaming loud enough to wake up the whole neighborhood.
According to the full situation, the girl had it wrong, but because of the alcohol she was obviously under, she was wild and set in her opinion, screeching whenever she was contradicted.
Eventually the father gets fed up and they both yell at each other, and the father walks away once more, with the daughter telling him to fuck off.
then she's on her own with her frustrations, and when the dad's pal tries to console her, she starts acting out and hitting everything.
he kept trying to calm her down but she kept trying to punch him. it was viscious.
at one point she started pummelling the side of a random car, and he had to tackle her to the ground to stop her, while she was screeching and flailing about. ugly stuff.
the whole argument at this point was
guy: "calm down, stay still, calm down"
girl: "you're fucking hurting me, leave me alone!!"
guy: "i'm not hurting you, i'm trying to control you! you're waking up the whole fucking street"
girl: "fuck off with your lying, waaahh" hits more things, screams like a child some more and tries to hit the guy again
The whole of my street: facepalm
eventually the father came back, which calmed her down somewhat and they went down the street for a quiet chat.
meanwhile, me and my dad were standing with a couple of the neighbors outside, talking to the guy who was trying to control her before.
he filled us in on the family issues and explained what this was all about, which made it more clear to us strangers who was in the wrong here. (the girl)
but then when the guy tried to re-join the trio, the girl started flipping out again and she was acting like a petulant child.
"no, fuck off. i won't listen, fuck off. YOU WANNA START SOMETHING RIGHT NOW?!?"
while all he was trying to do was get a gentle word in edgeways.
They kept trying to tell her she was drunk but she kept screaming "NOOOO, NO I'M NOT, PLEASE BELIEVE ME." "NOOOOOO" . and when i say screaming, i want you to imagine that your whole neighborhood can hear it.
guy: "why are you punching people's cars? why are you hitting me when i'm trying to protect you? why are you waking up the whole street? calm down and we can all talk this out"
girl: "NO, FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF!!!!!" screams some more
yeah girl…way to help your argument. you're just embarrassing yourself... =/
she just would not listen to reason. and then, to add insult to injury, she did a complete turnaround and protested that she'd never sworn or touched the other guy.... >.>
she was all "i didn't swear at you, you're lying! don't listen to him dad, he's lying!"
and he was (rightly) saying:
"i swear on my grandma's grave that you were swearing, thrashing, and keeping these people awake. look at them! they don't know you, but just ask them, they'll tell you what they've seen you doing."
obviously she never asked us.
just kept screaming, threatened the guy some more, and then stormed up the street shouting: "i hope you swallow a pill and fucking die, you ginger cunt!!!"
after a bit of silence, and the dad filling in some more details with us, the other guy started crying to himself on the wall outside my house.
it was so touching to see one of my neighbors walk right up him and give him a hug.
poor guy looked like he needed it, i can't imagine having to go through something like that.
it's like "ok, i stick with you through your tough time and try and try and try and try to calm you down and rationalise the situation, yet you throw punches and insults at me and then tell me to fuck off and die? seems fair."
everything's remained cooled since then. the girl disappeared god knows where, and after he felt better, the man broke his hug with my neighbor, wiped his eyes and drove off. dunno where the dad went.
but holy fucking shit, i don't think i've ever witnessed something of this level up close, ever.[/hide]
