Barbara Kay: Battered women should not get away with statutory murder

A number of sympathetic Canadian courts have already exonerated such women de facto. Sheehy would like the practice to be entrenched de jure.

This is the most frightening piece of the article. Canada what the fuck are you doing...

Elizabeth Sheehy a Law Professor advocating vigilantism.

I would love the same argument to be brought forth against abusive women.

"You know, your honor, bch be craycray, be screaming all loud and shit, don't let me see my son, fecking with her new man in my house, slapped me for forgetting her birthday.... So, I drugged the bch, waited till she was out cold, and then cut her up good. you see, your honor, I was doin the community a favor. Plus, if you thjink I as a man could not suffer under domestic violence, or be subject to tghe same lawas as women, it is discrimination, and I should be able to sue the state. "

Yea. Sure, this would fly that way.

Moral of the story: Either make laws that are for everybody, or accept that sometimes, evil stuff happens.

Yup, lets just make murder legal and see how long those judges last before their wives kill them...

What a joke.

Well, that's a tough one. I guess we can't make it a law to allow women to kill their abusers. But, in a perfect world, we could sell the matches to light the burning bed at a discount with a get out of jail free coupon on the back of the receipt.

The people in this thread defending men who beat their wives need to tale a long hard look at themselves. I don't believe women should be allowed to get away with murder, we need to do more to defend those women and get them out of those situations!
