Many do, I highly doubt you've researced every single domestic disturbance report and seen what went down. Just because the majority of the ones you've seen dismiss them, doesn't mean it's that way in it's entirety.
In fact, is their any data on this that you can show me? I'd like to see the actual numbers/percentage of these claims that cops don't do anything when a crying woman comes to them saying "MY HUSBAND BEAT AND RAPED ME AND NOW HE"S GOING TO KILL ME AND MY KIDS BECAUSE I LEFT HIM", because I really doubt it's that cut and dry.

I think YOU're the one missing the point JP.
I won't generalise as yourself by speaking for all males in this thread, but i for one am currently arguing about whether it's fair that she get only a little time in jail as punishment IN CASE the guy dies and what she did was premedited.

I hope, for your own sake, that you're not claiming women have made a rash action here. In some way or another.
Might wanna read my post where I also said I wasn't judging until I had facts. Just a thought, just rolling that nut out there. Harvest it maybe?

Oh no doubt about it, I just wouldn't call it a "womanly" thing to do seeing how there's that, and hot oil has been used as a torture method since the middle ages, therefore I don't see how it is a female thing at all.

I did it for a project for my government class, afraid I don't have the exact data anymore. I think I researched about 100 different cases, and in I believe around 80 of them, the police did nothing.
Not to mention, as I've said, I've seen that sort of thing happen myself, first hand. However, I'd prefer to NOT go into detail on that.
Plus there's another factor that no one's mentioned yet - though it's one that I myself don't understand - but there are many times where a women will stay in an abusive relationship because she still loves her husband and doesn't want to leave 😬 I can't quite figure that one out myself, but it does happen.

I suppose that if 'shithead' accurately described me, then, yes, you could. However, since it does not reflect me but my pseudonym of choice, you cannot.You may, however, call me 'Shit Man' or 'Shit Boy' in an endearing manner.
Did you go looking through PVS' posts to find that one, or are you so filled with ingenuity and wit that you came up with it all by yourself?
Actually it just came to me all of the sudden. however, seeing as how you admit to having heard the same thing before, that should say something about you eh?

IF what she did was premediated and had no extenuating circumstances, then she should get the full weight of the law IMHO. And sorry wickerman for lumping you in the males category.

Actually, during Middle Ages, when defending a fortress it was customary for the men defending to be either outside fighting or shooting with bows and arrows, while the women and children pour cauldrons of hot burning oil on the invaders and throw rocks at them so there 😛

You mean there can be a good reason for domestic violence? 😑

I've yet to say anything on the case itself other than say that we don't yet know the facts, the women isn't a murderer as he's still alive, and that I'd like more facts.
