Yes, there is. Minor domestic violence happens all the time, in ridiculous forms. Now the disclaimer to that is that domestic violence in any form isn't okay. Part of growing up is distancing yourself from ever letting these situations even happen to you. You should never let anger get the best of you to the point that someone feels the need to call the cops.
But on my topic, Best friend got domestic violence because his ex GF started a fire of his belongings on his front yard when they broke up. The cops were called by neighbors while he just stood there on his porch, but they both got charged. I call that minor in the sense that he actually did nothing but was charged for being on the scene of an argument he didn't even ask for.
I broke up with my ex fiancée 6 years ago. Peacefully tries to explain to her why it wasn't working for me. I left for the grocery store and came back and she had gotten sloppy drunk and started screaming at me, then she started throwing stuff at me...slapped me, hit, kicked and scratched my neck and face, screamed some more, threw more ****. Then she proceeded to go outside to smoke and I locked her on the porch of our apartment. She realized it immediately and I told her to cool the hell down. After about 6-7 minutes I let her back in. She came in and grabbed a butcher knife and she started screaming as loudly as I've ever heard anyone scream. Then cops came at that moment and kicked open the door guns pointed. Now I'm sure everyone here will immediately think I'm lying when I say this... I never did a single thing, I just stood there, half the time I was on the phone with my sister asking what I should do to stop her because I'm not a cop caller. I'm not a fighter. But here's the best part, they arrested me for locking her outside for 7ish minutes for "false imprisonment." I was sent to jail, sent to anger management classes (which were actually awesome and insightful) and probation. They took me off once I finished my classes and expunged all the charges. The situation was major, but my charge was hilariously stupid. I was bleeding, scratched all over and she was falling over drunk and holding a knife.
Anyways, that was long. I guess the point I'm making is that we don't know what happened and sometimes the charged isn't actually the one at fault so we can't judge too quickly. Also, sometimes in cases where the charges can sound major it's nothing more than somebody over fabricating a situation. Either way, julmisse needs anger management classes and hopefully this is a life lesson, it was for me. I walk away from every situation at the first sense of escalation (which is almost non-existent anyways.) But if he did anything violent or abusive he has to go and he needs to pay the price to the law. I hope for his sake it isn't true because his future is at stake. But also because I hope that there wasn't a victim here, I never want to see anyone go through the crap I did. I got my ass kicked and just took it. I know how awful it is to be in that situation and not sure what you can do to stop it, it's a nightmare.
