Proof of it in a previous daythread or GTFOThis is borderline old news sir.
I'm not sure whether that dude is a hero or a retardBecause of the hornet and Sphecius discussion on the previous page I spent a happy 15 mins on wikipedia and found this motherfucker:

Yes thats right, its a motherfucking wasp that eats tarantulas. Aka HERO WASP.
Spoiler:
I next discovered the Schmidt Sting Pain Index which is the leading scientific index of sting pains. Its also epic:
1.0 - Sweat bee - Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm.
1.2 - Fire ant - Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet and reaching for the light switch.
1.8 - Bullhorn acacia ant - A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek.
2.0 - Bald-faced hornet - Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door.
2.0 - Yellowjacket - Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.
0 – 2.0 - Honey bee and European hornet - Like a matchhead that flips off and burns on your skin.[3]
3.0 - Red harvester - ant Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail.
3.0 - Paper wasp - Caustic and burning. Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut.
4.0 - Tarantula hawk - Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath.
4.0+ - Bullet ant - Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like fire-walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail grinding into your heel.
Note the respectable showing for our HeroWasp.

"Schmidt has published a number of papers on the subject and claims to have been stung by the majority of stinging Hymenoptera."
Hymenoptera is over 130,000 species -- even if only a tiny fraction are stinging, that's still a lot.
Also, who decides to make their scale range from 0 to 4? w t f m8
So it can be counted on one hand?

Just stopped my neighbor from beating his wife, called the cops, 10minutes passed, they were not here, lost my calm, jumped the fence and put the fucked on his back with one hit to the head. I think I'll be in trouble.
Hey, I just met you,
and this is crazy
but here's my number,
so call me, maybe?
Self-defence includes defence of another.
If he was no longer a threat to you or her, and you didn't have a reasonable belief that he was, you could be in trouble, but its likely he wont press charges as you could get the (local) newspapers involved ("Local man charged with assault protecting woman from wifeneating husband").
Happy to give you legal advice if you need it. My suggestion is you don't admit anything without a lawyer present. Don't make the common mistake of "trying to be helpful" by admitting you slogged him because you were angry.
Talked to the police for around 5 minutes, I told them I'm not saying much without my lawyer. Both him and her say it was a verbal argument and don't want it to go any further, she has lots of marks all over her body. Really no idea what to think, going to meet up with someone in 3h to see what kind of trouble I'm in. The moment I hit him he was still hitting her so I "should" be ok.
Thanks for the offer Lallante, if this turns ugly i'll shoot you a PM just to get an opinion from you.
PS. when police asked me why I intervened I told them I was sure he was strangling her because she was yelling as if she was being strangled and couldn't breathe.
Pretty surprised they didn't arrest anyone.

Hopefully Rans the Wife won't side with her husband that happens in some cases and you end up being the bad guy.
You are absolutely not in trouble if he was still hitting her. They will -definitely- not want to press charges if they are both trying to pretend is was purely verbal.
Honestly you did the right thing and don't need to worry.
The police are not completely stupid, and will have come across beaten wives pretending that they are not beaten before.
If the Wife told the Police it was just a verbal argument possibly because she is scared of her husband or what he might do once the Police leave, then they don't really have much grounds to arrest anyone.
rans in action THE TRUTH WILL OUT!
An entry in The Straight Dope reported that the following "implausibly exact numbers" do not appear in any of Schmidt’s published scientific papers but were "wheedled out of him" by Outside magazine for an article it published in 1996.
The only thing I would have asked for is the police make a note in their pocketbooks that the woman had marks on her. If abused wife goes all protective of her man and turns on you have then evidence that there were signs that she was being assaulted and you were acting in defense of another.
Most of all if the police do come around again and say "we know what was happening. Just to be clear though you did punch him when he was beating her?" Dont say shit apart from saying you want your lawyer present.
Yes, that's what I figured as well, they still want me to drop by the station tomorrow to give some kind of statement so they have it on record in case it will happen again(it will for sure). They called me and told me "we can't really do anything if both say it was just a verbal argument and so on, no one will ask you why you stopped him"(they never even mentioned me hitting him) and I know that he'll keep doing it, but now he'll do it in his living room with the windows closed and not in the garden. Still...I feel good about myself. I don't have to listen to this kind of stuff.
I live with 2 girls and they've heard it happen before but haven't called the cops, I'm furious with them. Seriously, fuck them.
Also I had the guy over for a bbq last week, he seems like such a normal person.
Hey, I just met you,

It took two computers, three different software suites and a smart phone with an application, but I got my first assignment submitted electronically before the deadline.
Time spent on completing assignment: 15 minutes. Time spent mucking around trying to get everything to work: ah, about 2 hours.
Good job stopping him, Rans. Abusive people aren't always recognizable as such at face value - now that you know I doubt you'll BBQ with him again.
Today I got a raise and a better job title (same job though). Yay me, although mostly down to time served I think.
