Domestic Violance

This is a topic that has been thrown in my face recently. And I just cant get it off my mind.. Last week a friend and I met-up in an unfamiliar city that lies between us geographically. We stayed downtown and had a late night with mostly soft drugs and alcohol, we topped off the night with sex so sloppy it bordered on pointlessness, before moving onto NOS and promptly passing out.
Fast forward to the next morning, and what woke us up was nothing short of horrific.. I don't know exactly what happened, but the couple in the room next to us were obviously having problems and the dude went straight ballistic. I heard him yelling "I KNOW YOU HUNG OUT WITH SOMEONE AFTER I LEFT!!", she was yelling too, but I couldn't make it out. Next the dude went ballistic and the girl starts screaming at the top of her lungs "NO DON'T! OH GOD STOP! STOP! HELP!" To the backdrop of really loud thumps vibrating the wall... It only lasted a few seconds, and then silence.
During the attack my friend and I jumped out of the bed, completely frantic not knowing what to do. I told her we need to call the cops! I put on my boxers, grabbed my pocket knife, and ran to the next room banging on the door yelling "the cops are on the way" over and over again.
I had no desire to get any further involved, and ran back to my room to check on my friend and call the front desk. The cops told us to stay in the room and not answer the door for anyone but a police officer... It was about this time that we looked around the room and realized we had drugs and paraphernalia everywhere. We quickly threw everything in a duffel bag and got the fuck out of there. We stashed the drugs in my car which we drove a couple blocks up the street and parked at a super market.
When we got back to the hotel, EMTs were wheeling the woman out on a stretcher and the dude was in a police car. He looked really defeated, like he knew how bad a mistake he just made.
Anyway, the cops interviewed us, we got shit for leaving the scene but my friend started crying and said she was terrified to stay and they let us off the hook... She wasn't even faking it, we were both super upset about the whole thing. It kinda fucked up our whole weekend together, it just kind of clouded our celebration you know?
Anyway, I just wanted to share this story because I cant get it off my mind. And also to remind all of my fellow dudes that you can literally ruin your life in just a few seconds. It's a fucking shame man, for everyone involved. If you ever feel yourself start to lose it, just get the fuck out of there.

The cops didn't "let you off the hook", you were never required to wait on them. You weren't having charges pressed.

You definitely did the right thing. More people should get involved the way you did when you are aware of crap like that going on.

Hmm.. did she? Do you remember hearing any "loud" noises late the previous night, after he left?
Not in any way saying that he was justified in knocking her out if she did, but I couldn't help but be curious.

That morning was the first I heard anything out of the room next door. So who knows.

This story brings back so many childhood memories.
I remember this one time I woke up with my mum and dad fighting, he always got physical, I intervened as I was just 10 who didn't want to see his mum hurt, got shoved and my chemistry books were full of blood from my mum's wounds. I had to go to school with blood stained notes and a lot of awkward looks from my teachers.
I have many memories like that, I sympathise with your story OP domestic abuse is never fun
