UK: Abused husband, 45, who suffered 12 years of beatings at hands of his hard-drinking teacher wife set up a spy camera to film her campaign of violence

Magistrates sentenced Tweedy to a 12-month community order with 120 hours' unpaid work and a restraining order for 12 months.

Pussypass?

And he defends her. Battered husband syndrome?

Prime example of pussy pass.

Doubt he would have got anything without the video. Crazy world we live in. We are second class citizens. I would have got more punishment than that for one slap, never mind 12 years of it.

Drink would not an accepted mitigation in the UK. (For men anyway)

Hurr durr, he obviously did something to piss her off /s

MaxStout808 · 2017-09-08T17:09:20+00:00

Bow dare he violate her privacy with a hidden camera?!

Good thing he recorded it. The burden of proof for men accusing women of abuse is ridiculously high, while that of women accusing men of abuse is ridiculously low

Too bad he's defending her. It shows that even now she still has a mental / emotional hold over him, which is common in relationships with domestic violence

Cheeses Christ. Straight out of Pink Floyd The Wall. "They good well know when they get home at night their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them within inches of their lives"

Has anyone noticed how whilst male drinking has become frowned upon, female drinking has been portrayed as 'funny' and normal, especially when it comes to actual mothers binge drinking wine?

I feel this is really storing up problems and damage for the future. Not to mention the cost for the poor kids of these mothers.

So she gets

12-month community order with 120 hours' unpaid work and a restraining order for 12 months

For three counts of common assault which is in itself a pathetic charge for 12 years of sustained violence. You get more of a sentence for road rage, you get 6 months if you kick a dog

My god, the grammar in that article. Was it written by a 14-year-old?

superhobo666 · 2017-09-08T19:44:39+00:00

Did he get arrested for recording her without her consent?

hugboxer · 2017-09-08T20:54:10+00:00

Why is "but she was drunk when she hit him" somehow supposed to be a mitigating factor?

Archive that shit.

DailyMail is not pro-men's rights iirc.

don't date and marry drinkers if you don't drink

"She" is a man. You've got a dude in a dress beating a dude in pants.
