92. If you could do me a favor Dookus
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 11:49 PM by Susang
And please refrain from calling the example of a man shooting a man for sleeping with his wife as "shooting a black man who has done you wrong". Last I heard, we females were no longer considered property and are free to sleep with whomever we wish, no matter who thinks they were "wronged".

As a matter of fact, your scenario would probably result in the shooting of the woman and the man, considering this tasty statistic:
Intimate partners and guns pose a lethal threat to women. From 1976 to 1999, approximately one third of female homicide victims were killed by an intimate partner. From 1990 to 1999, nearly two thirds of female victims of intimate partner homicide were killed with a gun. From:http://www.vpc.org/fact_sht/womenfs.htm

You know I love you Dookus, :loveya: but you are talking about "hate crimes" here and women were pretty much the original victims of hate crime (if you'll forgive the pun). Excusing one "hate crime" to accentuate another will not help you prove your case.
