Why is this of interest to /MR? This part caught my attention:

In his note, Medina accused his wife of abusing him and asked his friends for their understanding for what he did to her because of it.

The police report with his confession cast a more detailed light on the course of events.

This was Medina's account to Miami Dade police:

He and his wife argued. He pulled a gun on her. She threatened to leave him. He put the gun away and followed her. She unloaded a volley of punches on him. He fetched the gun again. She pulled a knife. He wrestled it out of her hands. She punched him again.

Then he shot her "multiple times."

If his account is true, his reason for killing her seems more legitimate than Mary Winkler, and we all know the slap on the wrist she got. Granted he pulled the gun first so that immediately puts him in the wrong IMO if he wasn't actually being threatened with physical violence. How many times have we seen women claim perceived violence where none existed though?

What this does demonstrate is that girl power has done some damage in telling women it's fine to escalate violence--when he put the gun away she attacked him. Not smart. In this case and others like it it just gets women hurt or killed. In many respects it reminds me of this:

Grrl power -> pushing her luck -> man hits back -> oh shi- -> RIP

The circumstances of this case is a bit different, but you get the idea. Now this all begs the question, what do we do to fix it and help avoid similar incidents in the future?

I will not draw a conclusion on this until more evidence comes to the surface. Let's not become slaves to hysteria.
