This is some sort of belated April Fool's joke, right?

"Now there you go, trying to twist that too. And I don't mind you trying. It's not the woman's fault, it's not blaming the victim, but tell me what self respecting person is going back around someone who beats them?"

Please tell me that people really aren't that stupid. I was under the impression that a lot of this sort of abuse centers around eroding a person's self-respect. So, um, yeah?

And then, on top of that: Let's say you have your self-respect. You don't go back. Where do you live? How do you eat? What about the kids/pets?

Assault is a crime. Domestic violence kills. Humans, not chickens. Some sense, please?

(That's not even the worst of it, but I couldn't take that crap on my journal)

Well, at least the cockfighting bill is a good thing. Except for the part where cockfighters aren't tied up in a room with a dozen pissed-off, heavily-armed roosters on the first offense.

(I'm mentioning this because I'm trying to convince myself that the Honorable Representative from Charleston has wrecked his career, and I need distraction from the reality that he's probably going to wind up a speaker at the RNC next Presidential race.)
