Domestic Dispute

by

Dispute: to debate, question, to argue.

Sounds so innocuous doesn’t it?

In this story three people including the one doing the “disputing” died.

Mayor Scott Lang said the shooter died of a self-inflicted wound. Police said there was an exchange of gunfire with officers and would not confirm the shooter killed himself.

The club’s owner, Tom Tsoumas of Easton, told WBZ-AM his nephew Tory Marandos, 30, who was managing the club, and a floor host, Bobby Carreira, were killed by the man, who had been told to stay away after a failed relationship with a bartender.

Tsoumas identifed the shooter as Scott Medeiros. He said the club had hired him about two years ago to install a security system.

Tsoumas said Medeiros had dated a bartender at the club, and she feared him. He went to the club about two weeks ago and Carreira told him to stay away.

‘‘He said, ‘This isn’t the place for you. She doesn’t want to see you. It’s only going to cause problems.’ And he went away, but he evidently came in last night,’’ Tsoumas said.

Abuse as Humour

by

How nice to know that abuse can still generate a chuckle or two.

There’s nothing that says ‘I do’ more than having your rear end forever marked with your husband’s initials on your wedding night. Officials are questioning a 54-year-old man who forcibly used a cattle brander on his 22-year-old wife the night before their wedding.

The jealous husband explains that he tried to justify the branding by saying he wanted to make sure that other men knew right away that his new wife was his, and only his.

A woman branded on the night before her wedding makes a cute news story. Does it really?

What exactly is cute about the scar she will now carry the rest of her life?

What is cute about the damage to her body and psyche?

What is cute about the breach of trust? The fear? The pain?

There’s nothing that says ‘I do’ more than having your rear end forever marked with your husband’s initials on your wedding night.

How could these lines be written unless there was some agreement that she is property? That he had a ‘right’ to commit this act of abuse.

The police say “he has some explaining to do”.

Some explaining? What explanation would make what he did alright?

Well this humour challenged radical feminist sees no humour in this story. I do however find it funny that anyone can say with a straight face feminism is not needed.

Waterboy strikes again

by

On the November 27 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, in response to claims made by King Abdullah II of Jordan on the November 26 edition of ABC’s This Week that “we could possibly imagine going into 2007 and having three civil wars on our hands,” Rush Limbaugh said: “[W]ell, let’s just have them. Let’s just have the civil wars … because I’m just fed up with this.” Limbaugh then asserted: “Fine, just blow the place up. Just let these natural forces take place over there instead of trying to stop them.” Additionally, Limbaugh claimed: “[E]verbody comes to us. … So we go and try to fix it and our own people, Democrats and the left in our country do their best to sabotage our efforts, and then we get blamed for trying to clean up the messes that these people start.”

One thing we know about Rush AKA The Waterboy;

“Something’s wrong with his medulla oblongata.”

Day 4 (Dec. 6th Action)

I don’t know what to write today to introduce you to this video.

It covers many subjects and it is of course up to the viewer to make their own interpretation.

If you think the voices sound familiar, it is Judy Collins and Joan Baez.

*some images are graphic*

For some reason the embedded player was cutting out half way through, it is fine on the youtube site.

If we’re from Venus can we go back?

While debate continues as to whether reducing women to their sexuality is acceptable, women and female children around the world are suffering from the permissions those attitudes are granting.

Permission to take control

A man has admitted murdering his baby daughter after thinking about killing her every day since her birth as part of fantasy about controlling women.

Andrew Randall, 33, of Havelock Street in Kettering, committed “a catalogue of horrendous violence” on seven-week-old Jessica, Northampton Crown Court.

Jessica, born five weeks early, was abused almost since she left hospital until her death in November last year.

Randall also pleaded guilty to causing her grievous bodily harm.

After her death, Jessica was found to have at least nine injuries to her ribs as well as brain injuries and cuts to her face, the court heard.

Permission to destroy

A Canadian couple convicted of brutally assaulting two girls, one of whom said she was kept as a sex slave, were sentenced on Tuesday, but the victims’ relatives denounced the punishment as too lenient.

Prosecutors had described the couple — Terry Ladouceur, 39, and Lynnette Traverse, 25 — as “evil incarnate,” and the case evoked memories of the trial of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, who were convicted in the torture killings of two Ontario girls in a notorious sex case in the 1990s.

A Manitoba judge sentenced Ladouceur to 10 years in prison and Traverse, his common-law wife, to four years on charges that included sexual assault, kidnapping and forcible confinement involving the two girls, who were 12 and 13 when the assaults started.

Because of the time the couple spent in jail awaiting trial, Ladouceur will spend only an additional seven years behind bars, and Traverse will be eligible for release almost immediately.

The victims’ relatives cursed and cried in the courtroom over sentences that they said were too lenient. They complained to reporters that the couple have never shown remorse for what they had done.

Prosecutors had wanted Ladouceur to spend up to 18 years in prison and Traverse eight years. They called the sentences handed down by the court an irony since at least one of the girls would likely never recover psychologically.

Interesting in these cases how more blame seems to go to the female accomplice.

Permission to assign blame to the victim

Until now rape cases were dealt with in Sharia courts. Victims had to have four male witnesses to the crime – if not they faced prosecution for adultery.

Now civil courts will be able to try rape cases, assuming the upper house and the president ratify the move.

The reform has been seen as a test of President Musharraf’s stated commitment to a moderate form of Islam.

“It is a historic bill because it will give rights to women and help end excesses against them,” Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz told parliament after the vote.

Religious parties boycotted the vote, saying the bill encouraged “free sex”.

Free sex? seems right now the men have a right to all the free sex they want.
Oh! I get it! Women shouldn’t be able to have sex freely. Ya know like with free will.

Do something!
