i think that any man that hits a woman needs to be knocked around by somebody twice his size...there is always somebody bigger. i would never ever hit my mom, or my girlfriend either. and thats just out of pure respect and the way i was raised. if a woman wants to fight me, then im prepared to get the [censored] beat outta me, becuase i will NOT hit a woman...ever.
call the police, file a report, i doubt they can do anything now, but its better than not doing anything.
