As the old saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child …well in this case it also takes a village to initiate and execute swift justice for what is often and rightfully so, seen as one of the most horrendous crimes one can commit: domestic assault and battery of a woman. In the video below we see a man brutally beating his wife and amidst her screams and useless defense tactics he continues on with his violent antics.

After giving the woman a front kick to the face which nearly knocks her unconscious, the deranged husband decides that he is not finished inflicting damage as he continues to beat on his defenseless wife as the surrounding community begins to take notice.

Times like these usually turn out one of two ways: either everyone stands around and does absolutely nothing or there tends to be a full scale riot. Obviously, the favorable option is notably defined as street justice and occurs when on looking civilians take matters into their own hands…I liken it to a more violent version of a citizen’s arrest.

In this case we get to witness what we all hope to see…civilians taking matters into their own hands before the situation escalates into a matter far greater and far more dangerous than it already is. Luckily for the lady in the video, the surrounding civilians come to her aid as it is obvious that her husband has no intentions of restraining himself and there is no telling what his intentions are or how far he is willing to continue this savage beating.
