Of all the days of my neighbours could choose to have a vicious fight, today is the day where I hear him say, "It's because you won't shut your mouth". That's a threat. They've been fighting for the last few hours but it escalated to breaking shit and tearing down the doors. She ran to their bedroom, screaming "Why are you doing this?!" and he chased after her, telling her his rage is caused by her inability to shut her mouth, as if she provoked him.

Warren doesn't think calling the police will help. In a few hours, they'll laugh together again. If we call the police, it'll just make them angry at us and they'll make our lives miserable. We want them to break up and move out. We'll become the common enemy and it'll be something for them to bond over again. But if we don't call the police, we're complicit in this abuse.

He's getting a liberal arts degree. If you're reading critical theory about oppression, power, feminism, why isn't this sinking into his brain?

Trent asked me if I thought she was in danger. I can't say I think he would give her a beat down (give - as if it's a gift) but I think he's on this rampage to scare her and to intimidate her. I don't think he should think he has the right to do that.

I want to take a bat and crack his skull.
