If the struggle took place 2-3mtrs from glass doors & 10mtrs from front door, I personally wouldnt choose the glass exit option especially if the person attacking me knew martial arts. Id be worried about risk of broken glass doors (no matter how thick they look) & also entering an open outdoor area at great height. But then, theres also a glass coffee table & tv in path of opposite direction. A broken glass coffee table I could deal with, but late night smashed balcony doors is a bigger deal. You could expect someone to call Police (or alert the 'building security' (???) he mentions in the link) if theyd also heard the fighting previously. Additionally, thered be problems for you as tenant for property damage and/or disturbance complaints. He seemed pretty chuffed with his apartment, so I imagine he wouldve liked to continue living there.
How was he so sure she wouldnt scream out to neighbours to call Police if he was just putting her out there to calm down? Hed just been choking her, shed repeatedly said the word murder! AND had already threatened to call Police on him once earlier before things turned really ugly.
IMO putting her on the balcony doesnt seem the best possible option if I imagine myself in GTs shoes
(talk about taking one for the team there lol!). There just seems more risk to
him & we know he is his first priority. Inside he could keep her quiet outside she could freely yell anything. He makes out that she was strong well, if thats the case, couldnt she have caused more damage on her way out to, and on, the balcony? That tanning coffin mightve got hurt! :scared: If the 2 chairs depicted in above photo taken by GT were out there as well, she could've pegged them off the balcony or used them against glass doors in her 'psycho' state.
He also states there being 'security'?? Ive checked a few real estate listings for properties available in the building & cant seem to find any mention of security in terms of personnel. But there is secure access & intercom lol. Im going to assume he doesnt have his own personal security team standing by. (That's always a future possibility).
