Ok, I don't condone domestic violence AT ALL. Having said that, I can *understand* (not condone, understand...big difference) how someone could go off in the heat of the moment and hit their partner.

How the @$@#$ are you going to even come close to TRYING to explain having set your partner on FIRE...in front of the CHILDREN???????

That is NOT something that happens in the heat of the moment. That has to be a deliberate act, and that is one sick puppy. This one's not even original..he's a copycat. I hope he gets put away forever!!

An eye for an eye as they say. So this man will burn in ****. I will have to argue though. Being a teen and exposed to violence just from being outside at night at the wrong part of town. I could easily see someone hitting someone then grabbing some gasoline and throwing a match on them. I could easily see myself defending the victim by detaining the criminal untill cops arived. but i do mostly agree with you he is pathetic

Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES is it EVER OK to hit someone no matter what they did. You can't control people they are not your property and people will do whatever they please.... It may hurt your feelings, but you have no right to put your hands on anyone..... EVER!

I never said it was OK, newsbuggy. I just said I could understand how something like that could happen in the heat of the moment. I'd still call for the person instigating the violence to answer for it in a court of law.

I never said that you implied that jdwalker. I was just blogging like everyone else. I will say it again, it is never OK to put your hands on anyone, EVER. Just for the record, I can't even understand how someone could think that they have the right to put their hands on another human being.

EVER?? What if someone's trying to hit you? You don't have the right to hit back in self defense?

No one should be hitting on you in the first place.... We are talking about Domestic Violence here, not street stuff. Of course I would defend myself in that case, but to be honest, I am not going to put myself (or at least try not too) put myself in a situation that I have to defend myself. I carry myself with dignity and respect.... I am a lady, and ladies don't fight in the streets.

I'm not talking about street stuff either. I have two younger sisters, and I've taught them how to fight simply because if they'd ever wound up with a partner who hit them, I want them able to defend themselves. I see nothing wrong with that concept.

I don't see anything wrong with defending yourself either.... My point is jdwalker is that no one should ever hit anyone.

Your logic is flawed jdwalker. You taught your sisters to fight in the event they are faced with a domestic situation. I think your energy would have been better spent instructing them on how to avoid bad relationships to begin with. The "I'm not letting no man put his hands on me defense" will do nothing but land your sister in jail along with her abusive partner. Pretty sad.

And what if the relationship starts out good, but turns bad? It's all good to encourage them to avoid bad relationships....but in the heat of the moment, I don't want them defenseless...

Self-defense is a recognized legal principle, is it not? You don't have an obligation, if someone's trying to hurt you, to stand there and take it.

jdwalker I feel where you are coming from however, as ex-mpd has stated, your energies should have been focused on something other than that. Hitting should never be tolerated. I would pack up and leave if my husband ever raised his hand at me. He's not going to do that because I don't give him a reason too. My mother taught me that!!!!

In the meantime, what are you going to do *right then* *at that moment* if he's hitting you and won't stop? It's kind of hard to pack a suitcase while someone's beating the h-e-double-hockeysticks out of you.

If you really want to help your sisters tell them not to get involved with ghettoites.
