Showing Original Post only (View all)OMFG....Freepers defend man hitting his wife for taking "Lord's name in Vain" [View all]
RW nut baggery at it's worst. These are the zealots that are not happy until we ALL live under THEIR VERSION OF THEOCRACY. It's no wonder so many of them were having wet dreams over Santorum.

Man Smacks Wife "Upside The Head" After She Uses Lord's Name In Vain During Argument
What was he supposed to do? Let her take the Lords name in vain in his own house?
I say smack the devil out of her.
So throwing him in jail solves the problem? He's a fundamental Christian upset at taking the Lord's name in vain (one of the ten commandment, I believe). How can you defend a person who verbally attacks the religious beliefs of another in his own home?
Is not her assault upon his eardrums a crime too? Hers was the first action, his a reaction and hes in jail for battery. How about we split the difference and send her to jail too for assault? That would seem fair to me, as both were breaking the law.
But I don't like zero tolerance and the insanity that goes along with jailing people in this day and age. No marks on her. Look, if she had bruises or lacerations, sure, send the puke to jail. In this case, the legal systems should be able to determine that the wife assaulted the man's faith and his eardrums, he reacted poorly. To me, she's as guily as the husband, maybe more so because she started it with her illegal assault.
Now there have been some responses trying to set these idiots straight, but the fact that they are arguing their case full bore almost makes me weep for the women in their lives....and this nation. it's no wonder we found threads there calling to revoke the vote of women, and their stupidity in voting their own minds rather than 'enhancing' the votes of the husbands. Frankly, it's no wonder so many on the right simply don't see a war on women.

OP
It's because they have been raised like that and think beating a woman is normal behavior.

There is no humor in the act of hitting his wife. There is humor in the stupidity of the Freepers
