** In "The Brush Man", [[spoiler:The VictimOfTheWeek, a door-to-door brush salesman named Roy Dunn, is revealed to have gone to prison after killing his former friend, a wife-beater, in a bar fight. Before his death, he had been keeping a close eye on a family of three, which included giving free brushes to the wife, Diane, and playing baseball with the son, Kevin. This arouses the suspicion of the father, Glenn, who Roy distrusts. Glenn makes Roy take back the brushes he gave Diane and tries to keep his son away from him. Roy later finds Diane crying and comforts her; Diane is upset because her husband mistreats and lies to her, saying he is at work when he is not. Kevin sees Roy and his mother and runs off; Roy goes after him to make sure he did not get the wrong impression. Kevin tells Roy that he had caught his father cottaging in the park and that he had had his wrist broken as 'punishment.' This angers Roy, who finds Glenn in his work-shop at night. Roy adopts a threatening tone and orders Glenn to leave his family and let them live their life. Glenn insists that Roy has no right to intrude on his 'family life' and that he will never leave. Roy then tells Glenn that he knows about his homosexuality and Glenn becomes more hesitant, but still reiterates that he will not leave. Roy then throws a punch at Glenn that sends him flying backwards; as Glenn scrambles to regain his footing, he grabs a pair of scissors and plants them into Roy's neck, killing him.]] [[spoiler: Before his death, Roy tells Glenn that he has an eye for people like him and that he can't ignore it like other people on the street or like they "taught him to in jail". It is suggested that [[OpposeWhatYouHaveSuffered Roy had experienced domestic abuse himself as a child]] in one scene in which he tells Kevin, "My house was not a place you'd like to be".]]
** "A Perfect Day" a DirtyCop as the abusive spouse to his wife, with the abuse starting to extend to their four-year-old twin girls. A rookie cop found out about it and, after falling in love with and proposing to the wife, gave the cop a preliminary beatdown with a warning to leave his wife and daughters. According to him, "That's how we dealt with abusers back then. Off the books." Unfortunately, unbeknownst to the rookie, the wife and daughters (who he believed were safe at his house) had gone back to their old house to rescue a pet, and when the husband found them there, he took out his frustrations on them. [[spoiler:The wife tried to talk him down, but the twins (being too young to fully understand) innocently let slip that their mother was planning to marry someone else, leading to a standoff in which he kills one of the girls. The wife left her surviving daughter in a church and fled into hiding, fearing she would never escape him. The husband ended up dead in a firefight some months later. In the present, 40 years later, the rookie all but admits he shot the guy himself in the chaos. The detectives, disgusted by the abuser and approving of the rookie's actions, decide not to charge him]].

The couple don't press charges, but he's terribly embarrassed and resolves to be more careful with this sort of thing.

* In ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'', while Asuna is usually capable of taking care of herself, Kirito still does not take kindly to those who hurt her. During the infamous scene from the "Fairy Dance" arc where Oberon/Sugou is molesting her, Kirito gets the chance to turn things around when he is granted ''full'' Game-Master powers by the ghost of his WorthyOpponent professor Kayaba & he grabs it with both hands. He turns the pain-inhibitor protocols of Sugou's in-game avatar to ''zero'', and ''butchers'' the Oberon avatar ''so'' brutally that Sugou ''himself'' suffers lasting damage in the real world.
** Note that after this, Kirito is ''exceptionally'' cruel towards those who victimize girls. In the Underworld when confronted with Raios and Humbert, two silver-spoon-in-mouth brutes who were outright attempting to ''rape'' Royne and Tiese, girl-pages serving under him and Eugeo, he cleaves ''both'' of Raios' arms off for his troubles, bleeding the rapist to death like a pig.

* Motoyasu of ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' deconstructs this. He sees himself as this regarding Naofumi's party members, and it would even seem that way outside of proper context. However, it's been spelled out to the DumbBlonde repeatedly that, no, Raphtalia and Filo are not in any danger as Naofumi's slaves and that he treats them like family. Motoyasu's blatant refusal to listen to what any of them have to say and constant antagonizing [[LethallyStupid not only causes more problems but actively puts them in danger in the process.]] This ends up being one of the reasons why Naofumi can't stand being around him, as all he does is assume the worst and refuse to listen until it's almost too late (or it already is).

* In ''Film/{{Tank}}'', Command Sergeant Major Zach Carey was visiting the base hospital, where he discovers a child being treated for bruises which are clearly the result of his father beating him. Carey summons the father to his office and tries unsuccessfully to convince the man to seek counseling, even going so far as to offer going a few rounds in a boxing ring to work off the offender's excess anger. The corporal gets to his feet and snaps at Carey that it's nobody's business but ends up pinned to the wall with Carey's forearm across his throat, whereupon Carey issues the ultimatum that neither the stockade, loss of rank, nor loss of retirement will stop him from destroying the man in place. The corporal is then much more receptive to Carey's offer of finding counseling.

* Detective John Kimble from ''Film/KindergartenCop''. While the guy he beats up is because of the bruises on his [[WouldHarmAChild son]], it's heavily implied that he also beats on his wife too.

* A female example: the plot of ''Literature/RebuildingCoventry'' is kicked off by Coventry hitting her JerkAss neighbour Gerald Ford, who has not only spread salacious rumours about her but is currently in the process of assaulting his wife, with an Franchise/ActionMan figure to the head. While only intending to stop him, she [[AccidentalMurder accidentally kills him]], and is forced to go on the run.

* ''Literature/SisterhoodSeries'': In a rare female example, the Vigilantes become this on Karl Woodley, a National Security Advisor who broke every bone in his wife, Paula Woodley's, body, in the book ''The Jury''. They get into his home and break every bone in ''his'' body! Despite having apparently reached her breaking point, Paula takes him back. Fortunately, he is permanently crippled, wheelchair-bound, and can't lay a hand on her. A later book reveals that she is taking great pleasure in tormenting him, implying that she only took him back so that she can make him suffer as much as she had!
