On the scanner: A woman was just beaten by her husband with a wrench

[Maddy McCall]

and a board. Man's description is 6'2", 250 lbs. He's fled his house and the deputies are scouring the county for him.

If I were the judge in this case, and the jury decided him guilty, I wouldn't sentence him to prison.

I'd have about 6 deputies hold him down, and then I'd let his hopefully ex-wife-by-then go to town on him with a monkey wrench. For as long as she wishes.

Goddam, nothing pisses me off as much as spousal battery (except for child abuse).

[merh]

1. Poor lady.

I hope they catch they guy.

:pals:

[Maddy McCall]

2. So do I.

I'll let you know if they do.

:loveya:

[merh]

7. Listening to a scanner all the time can

really be depressing. I turned mine off a long time agao (and Katrina did the rest - never to be found again).

Don't let the world get you down my friend. :hug: :loveya:

11. ...drive you crazy...

12. Same with listening to cable TV all the time. Blab, blab, blab - all bad.

3. No argument here

And after she's done beatin' on him, they should take him out in the country, strip off his clothes, stake him face-up on an anthill with honey all over his balls, and his eyelids cut off so he has to stare at the sun.

:grr:

4. Wow...very creative!

:hi:

6. It's from 'Slaughterhouse Five'

Paul Lazzaro's idea of the most brutal torture.

He had a bit of a sadistic streak. :scared:

5. Some pliers and a blow torch perhaps?

8. We had a guy beat a woman

with a cactus here in WI!Took them 4 hours to pick all the pricklees out.He's on a mental hold,he thinks he's satan.

9. My dad was a cop in SF

And his worst story was stabalising a woman who was hysterical because her husband had embedded a monkey wrench in her head.

Yikes - it's no wonder cops are such misantropes - I understand 100%!

10. That's horrible!

I hope she goes for counseling and doesn't take the prick back!

13. Or how about put in a stand-up hydraulic press, standing next to the guy

in Mass who raped a woman for two days just for some 'fun' because he knew he was going to prison sooner or later - anyway, slowly crush them both into each other. Then feed the cube to dogs.

14. I'm expecting shit for this..

IANAL..

Amendment VIII - Cruel and Unusual punishment. Ratified 12/15/1791.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

My mother shot my father in the head while he was asleep. He beat her and my sister. She did time served. About six months. I testified at the age of nine on her behalf.

The guys a total piece of shit. She is alive. You sound like you would enjoy her killing him.. You sound like you would like to watch.

15. No shit from me.

Rather give you a :hug: and tell you I'm sorry that you had such a horrible experience as a child.

It's not difficult for me to understand why your mother did what she did. I'm of a certain age; been married & divorced; been abused and experienced the 'justice' systems inadequate 'solutions' in these situations.

My life is good now. I hope your's is as well.
