This.

I can't quote statistics about the number of murders that are related to domestic violence, but I'm sure they are significant. And [too many] victims just keep "going back for more" so IMO to get involved in any way in strangers' domestic disputes will always be a losing proposition.

Hmmm our instructor did advise us to (at least) try to avoid confrontations such as you described.

It's easy for me to say this in hindsight, but IMO the purpose of at least a CHL is SELF-defense, and I would only use my weaponry to help others if I thought that by doing so it would stop an inevitable escalation to myself or my loved ones.
