Lots of trouble in that neck of the woods lately.praying for a good outcome.
LEAVE HIM ALONE. DONT TALK TO HIM AN DISTURB HIM, HE WILL COME OUT IN A DAY OR TWO.
Oh come on now that makes to much sense , i mean, people that are fed up and upset need to be forced into compliance or killed. We cant allow someone to just let their rage and anger out in a empty house and then when it is over take them in amd fet them help. No we need to use military might and all the fancy toys to ensure that people like this are delt with swiftly . I mean we wouldnt want anyone else to think they could get away with rampaging their own home …… what would this world come to.
No seriously. You are right secure the area to ensure he doesnt leave and when he gets it out of his system, arrrest him and take him to the head shrinkers get him the help he needs. Anything else would be placing others in harms way for no good reason.
KINDA A NO BRAINER, MAYBE HIS SPOUSE PISSED HIM OFF, IF SHE SAYS ANYTHING HE WILL BE GONE FOR GOOD. THIS AINT A MANS WORLD, ITS UP FOR GRABS AS TO WHOM IS THE BEST STORY TELLER, AND WILL YOU BELIEVE THE NEXT LIE I TELL YOU. OFFICER!
Yep, you’re right. She’s totally suspicious–fleeing from a house while a gunshot comes from behind her. She probably McGuivered some sort of thing that pulled the trigger while she was fleeing in the other direction. Man, those women are smart and tricky. It is amazing how in spite of how evil and tricky most women are that men still make more money for the same jobs and get arrested for domestic violence in vastly larger numbers. You’d think women would be doing better with all their evil cleverness. It sure “aint a mans world” though in spite of the fact that the vast majority of CEO’s, politicians, and religious leaders are male.
Well in all fairness female on male dv is the number 1 unreported crime today. Many males are ashamed or feel like they will not be taken seriously for reporting it. As for the pay gap , if one truely looks at the data it isnt so much as people would leave folks to believe for the same jobs. Most figures are for same degrees but not same fields. So say a masters in early childhood learning compared to a masters in engineering, the pay gap is huge but hardly the same job. When comparing apples to apples there is still a pay gap but normally only around 6 to 10 percent and there are other factors that do explain many of the reasons , but not all. However in todays world females tend to have more workplace protections than males , and socially as well. Which you can see clearly if you are aware enough. Like when a female slaps male in public there is little to none outrage, infact many times it is laughed about , and the general thoughts are that the male must have said something to deserve it, while if a male slaps a female in public , there is outrage people calling 911 and others coming to the females aid and a general opionon that the female is a victim . There have been studies about this double standard but they havent gotten air time. As for other things, look at the cat calling and general sexually charged attiudes on morning talk shows when a male sex object walks on the stage from females, yet if a female were to be cat called today in the same manor the males would be condemed for their reactions. None of this applies to this story, however. My comment above is a oponion i have about LEOS often times reacting in such a manor that with force that often times ends up badly or worse then it would if they had given the person a chance to cool down. It takes alot of engery to rage like that and it wears a person out, so by ensuring that the ssuspect is unable to leave, yet without pushing them it can often times end peacefully just by waiting them out and allowing them to wear themselves out , similar to a child theowing a fit
Thank you for your very informative and thought provoking post. There is so much favoritism towards women in many aspects of life that is just accepted, but never talked much about while the slightest thing that could be misconstrued as misogyny is blasted all over the media like the world is coming to an end. Fact is that men and women are just different. This rush to try and make them exactly equal is a waste of time and energy in my opinion. Some jobs will favor men and some will favor women. I don’t hear too many guys complain about women dominated industries.
You’re right. It is really odd that more men don’t want to belong to the women-dominated fields especially since those jobs tend to be paid less and have less social status….https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/20/upshot/as-women-take-over-a-male-dominated-field-the-pay-drops.html?_r=0 I’m surprised there isn’t a huge rush of men eager to get less money and respect.
I never said there wasn’t pay disparities in the work place. I am simply saying that men and women are different creatures and they each have their advantages and disadvantages in different aspects of life. I don’t view life as being fair, fairness is does not exist in nature and I think the attempt to overly spread artificial equality is a very futile effort. I also see the media being very biased against men, so what do I do? I don’t start a big shit storm against it, I simply choose not the consume their product. Where if the roles were reversed I don’t see quite as much acceptance from the other side. Way too much victim mentality in this world for me. Life is not this cushy feather bed where everybody is cast from the same mold and programmed to have no advantages or disadvantages over any one and will refrain from very doing anything that could possibly offend one other snowflake. Some drones might want to live in some contrived artificial reality, but not me. I personally enjoy the beauty of nature and all the randomness that is what makes up life. I think if more people worried less about that “social status” you mentioned they would be a lot more at peace with their life and a lot less like a rat in a maze.
I should add that while I don’t always agree with your opinions in the comment sections I still respect the way your report your news compared to your more mainstream counterparts and that is why you are one of the few media outlets that interest me.
RESPECT IS NEVER GIVEN ONLY EARNED.
For heaven’s sake. Just read this. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/20/upshot/as-women-take-over-a-male-dominated-field-the-pay-drops.html?_r=0
Supply and demand of the labor market. Careerist women have brought down wages in fields there was previously limited female competition. There is so much hard data to refute your bogus claims kym. In other news, men are bringing down nurse wages(female dominated) because they are going back to school for an RN after the cheap labor flood ruined construction. So that’s our fault too, like everything else. When can we makes this about black people though?
Damn those careerist women wanting jobs that pay well. They better stop interfering with a man’s god given right to have good paying jobs.
While nationaly males work on average 8.2 hours per week more then their female counterparts. Hrmm 8.2 at what 1.5 times pay ? Thats roughly 12 hours extra pay per week or 48 hours monthly ……. seems to me that there is a partial answer to this pay gap. Also nationally females tend to use most or all of their sick days while their male counterparts tend to use 50 percent or less on average . Possibly another reason ? And while this is not the case for paid vacation as males tend to use most if not all of their vacation days while females tend to use 50 percent or less. However that doesnt balance out as vacation days tend to be schuelded while sick days are not, leaving employers short handed on days when people call in sick verses schuelding coverage for planned vaccation time. Also nationally females tend to accept less pay in exchange for better bennifits wher as their male counterparts are more likely to ignore the bennifits in exchamge for higher pay. The reasons for the increases in sick days used seems to be for children issuses, however that in itself is no excuess as in this day amd age it has been made very clear it is up to the female alone to decide to have children, there by their own decissions should not be used as an excuess for the extra sick day use . If it were to be claimed that children take time and need their mothers so females are entittled to not have their sick day useage concisered in how much they get raises , then it would also be ssying that females should not be offered the same rate of pay because they are not going to be as dependable on average as a male counterpart. Females on average nationally also turn down overtime and on average are less likely to work late or start early to complete a task as male counterparts. All vaild reason as to why a female would recive less pay. As for the nyt. Articial it is a proven fact that once more workers qualified in a larbor market the labor prices drop. If there are less qualified workers in themarket the labor prices raise . So i conclude that it isnt a gender based drop but a increase in workforce that is the largest factor, then to include the above facts and you have your pay gap
Excuse me?
You bring up some excellent points there AC. One thing that is rarely mentioned is the fact that men are better and more aggressive at asking for and or demanding raises. A lot of employers won’t just hand them out unless prompted or pressured by their employees, and while there are always exceptions and I am not trying to pigeon hole any one specific person, in general men procure raises for themselves at a higher rate than women who as a whole tend to be more passive in that department. That is why they make better nurturers and men make better soldiers. Different biological skillsets lead to different areas of success. Rather than force this false narrative of equality across the board I think people should embrace their differences.
I’m definitely down with embracing difference that leave me worse off than my male counterparts. I sure hope you guys are, too.
You either embrace it and survive or fight it and likely perish. What if all short people wanted the NBA to make an adjustable hoop that moved up and down to a height in proportion to the person with the ball. It’s not fair that the tall people have such a great advantage they were just born that way and did nothing to earn or work towards their height. See how the logic goes. Not all people are born equal. Some creatures in nature aren’t as fast and strong so they need to be more clever to survive. They can’t bitch and whine that the lion needs to give them a head start before chasing them.
I hope you aren’t trying to say men are better than women…? Women, as a whole, are not asking for a head start but rather an equal start. To use your analogy, it’s as if the lions are trying to keep the tigers hobbled so that they get first chance at the prey.
Also, I agree that women should embrace their difference. I am. My difference is that I don’t think it is great that men make more than women in the same job so I embrace my difference and start my own business. It is working out pretty darn well for me. I’m not rich but I am happy.
Why do you hope I’m not saying that men are better than women? You wouldn’t want someone to have an opinion that differs from your agenda? You want a truly equal start kym? So next time we have a military draft we should take equal number of men and women and send them off to war? Maybe bartenders should only let a guy buy a woman a drink if an equal number of women have already bought guys drinks? Get together with your gender and let me know if they are willing to concede all their advantages and then we can truly talk equality, which I personally find impossible to legislate.
Ah, I see. You’re reading completely free news on a website that I provide but I’m not as good as you. And, somehow it is okay to imply that I am a bad person because I don’t like that opinion. [Note: I don’t delete opinions just because I don’t like them] … Your statement is roughly headed towards the same level of rudeness that is found by camping out in a stranger’s house and wondering why they haven’t provided you breakfast in bed at the time you specified.
Let’s take your assumptions about your opinions one by one:
Your courage in expressing that you are better than me while hiding behind an anonymous sobriquet is truly impressive. And the term Freedom Club is very accurate—you want freedom for those in your club but not for those outside it.
First off I never said that I am better than you. That is an inference on your part. I just simply wanted to know why you hoped I wasn’t expressing a certain opinion. Yes I am reading a free website, I would never pay to consume the news. Start charging if you want, it’s no sweat off my back. This is a comment section for discussion. I am not attacking anyone personally. What you interpret as rude is your own doing. I am here to state my opinions, I would rather be truthful and have some snowflakes be offended, than be disingenuous so that nobody’s feelers would get hurt. No one is forcing men to buy women drinks, but it is expected in your “soctiey”. By your logic if the women aren’t happy with the compensation being offered don’t take the job. Gather up your fellow f[edit] and start your own company and pay women whatever wage you desire. Lastly I am not hiding behind anything. I don’t post as “guest” or anything like that. If I ever see you in person I will gladly come up and say “hi this is freedom club and here is what I believe”. Maybe even hold the door open for you if I am in a good mood. I have no problem with freedom for everyone, I just think equality for all is not realistic. There is a difference between the two in my world.
Maybe in your society, it is expected for men to buy women drinks. And some men certainly do. But I don’t know any adult woman who EXPECTS men to do so. There is, however, a vast difference between drinks and jobs.
While men may leave a bar where women expect drinks, women may not leave this society which as a whole offers women less compensation than it does men. If the situation was just one or two employers, then your analogy would hold up. But it isn’t just one or two, it is a majority.
In addition, offering equal opportunities is not the same as expecting everyone to have equal abilities. Of course, some people will behave differently and have different capabilities. But if one starts out with the assumption that women are not as capable and rewards them less without fairly evaluating their capabilities, that is an unfair playing field.
You’d just claim sexual harassment anyways….
The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, and MSLSD have lost credibility as they are the leading proponents of “fake news”. I’m not saying this can’t be true, but anything from these outlets has to be suspect.
We’ll have to disagree on that. While all news outlets make mistakes and their editorials lean left, in their actual news stories, the New York Times and the Washington Post are considered among the most credible and correct all errors as soon as reasonably possible.
How many of these type of incidents have you had to deal with? LEOS have ever changing training based on the different out comes of these type of incidents. If you really feel you can handle it better the Sheriff’s Office is always recruiting. If you can take the “dam if you do and dam if you don’t” second guessing of everything you do, you what it takes.
Sorry, there isnt a single thing i can think of that would incline me to become a member of law enforcement as it is today. I value and hold dear the freedoms we have as citizens of this country and could bot enforce the things that would be required of me in themanor in which they would require from me. In short i have to much honor to be in law enforcement.
What do you mean women can’t just leave society? Of course they can. Most just don’t want to because they know it is way more comfortable for them than going it alone. Society is a sham and many people don’t have the courage to leave it behind and go survive like our species did for millions of years without jobs, careers, government. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that building one’s own shelter and securing food and water might seem a bit much for some compared to a slight gap in pay and the occasional sexual advance from a coworker. My whole point to you is that by nature and it’s randomness in design there never is or was supposed to be this level playing field you refer to.
You crack me up, Kym.
Please keep doing what you do.
YOU SHOULD LOOK UP THE FACTS, 1 IN 3 MEN ARE BATTERED BY THEIR SPOUSE, THAN THE OTHER WAY AROUND, MOST MEN WONT EVEN SAY ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY ARE ASHAMED. THESE ALTERCATIONS GO UNREPORTED. SO THE RATIO INCREASE,S. CK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF. NO REASON TO LIE.
Even if every man was battered by his partner, there is no evidence in the information presented in this article to suggest this happened in this situation. I’m increasingly frustrated by people choosing to make up scenarios to fit whatever emotionally charged ideas they might have about life.
In this case, as presented in this press release, a woman flees a home as a gunshot goes off and you implied earlier that she was lying about being abused. That is a stretch that a giraffe would be impressed by. Put the information in this piece together with the information that the same man is alleged to have also been involved in a similar situation in March (See the Earlier Chapter section at the bottom) and the entire Chinese Acrobat team together couldn’t stretch that far.
If you want to make the argument that the woman appears to have gone back with him, and that is unsafe, then you’ve got an argument at least partially based in reality (though ignoring that women who leave their abusers often face death while that is rarely the case for men.)
Women are Gods
Nope. Not any more than men are.
Listen,my mom and I was beaten by my so called Father. He was 6’5 over 200lbs,me 8yrs old my mom all of 5’1 115 lbs.he was pissed ,my mom had moved on,so one night he showed up about 3am,beat my mom up,and when I tried to help my mom he turned on me,when he left the house he put a butcher knife in the truck of her car sticking straight up.my mom was in a coma for 2 years. What happen to him NOTHING,zero!!no jail,no arrest nothing. I had to go before a judge at 8yrs old and tell him I didn’t want to go with my father. All stories aren’t the same!I haven’t seen him since that day,never will. That’s why I have never raised a hand to anyone. I can never forget.WALK AWAY,JUST WALK AWAY
I AM SORRY FOR YOU, TRULY. BUT YOUR PLIGHT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACTS.
Women hit men and men vastly underreport. But as a whole, the numbers of women injured and killed by men are vastly larger than the reverse. GMAS story is very relevant to the facts of this case. And, frankly, a man who has not been abused (or at least isn’t admitting it) telling a woman who says she has that her facts aren’t relevant is stepping over the line.
Says the feminist NAZI
No, according to leading researchers.
“As both Fiebert and Archer point out, although the mathematical tally of physical acts in these studies has found similar rates of IPV amongst men and women, and high rates of bidirectionality, there is general agreement amongst researchers that male violence is a more serious phenomenon, primarily, but not exclusively, because male violence tends to inflict more damage than female violence.[58][59] Male violence produces injury at roughly six times the rate of female violence.[39] Women are also more likely to be killed by their male partners than the reverse (according to the US Department of Justice, 84% of spousal murder victims are female),[57] and women in general are more likely to be killed by their spouses than all other types of assailants combined.[60] In relation to this, Murray A. Straus has written “although women may assault their partners at approximately the same rate as men, because of the greater physical, financial, and emotional injury suffered by women, they are the predominant victims. Consequently, the first priority in services for victims and in prevention and control must continue to be directed toward assaults by husbands.”[61]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_against_men
Well , just a thought, but most little guys dont go around pucking fights with people so vastly differantly in size with them. So i would suggest if a female wants to beat on a man and then complain that they recived more danage when a man defended himself, she should have gone to the gym for a few years. Gender isnt an excuese for not using your brain. In fact if everyone stopped seeing gender as an excuess the would would be much better.
And a sure diversion from any discussion of fixing the problem. Women generally don’t want to beat on a man. They want men to stop beating on them.
This research I’ve looked at does not suggest that the women who are injured or killed are those “picking the fights.”
I agree gender should not be an excuse for not using your brain, but thats often what happens when you have the privilege of being taken care of and provided for throughout history. You stop using your brain and focus on the things that get your taken care of like your looks.
FBI 2016 Homicide Stats of jurisdictions reporting
———Victim—- —– -Offender -Offender
———Sex—– Total —male —— female
————————–Male—- 4,751 –4,260——- 471
————————- Female- 1,913 –1,735——- 176
Simply put- overwhelmingly most killers of men are men and most killers of women are men. Women are way, way, way under represented as murderers in both catagories.
I often wonder why some men are so defensively in denial about something so obvious. It’s like they have a deep seated fear that women will take over the world and they will suddenly become helpless victims of persecution. The Sampson and Delilah phobia.
To reassure them: that has never once been recorded as happening in history. Women generally do not have the desire to do so. Keep this in mind- women are not men. Don’t attribute male emotions or expectations to them. The worst you can expect is a Margaret Thatcher, not an Osama bin Laden or Hitler.
Relax. Take a deep breath. Women actually like you when you are not pounding on them. You have nothing to fear but fear itself.
And I wonder why women get so up in arms when the sense the slightest persecution they interpret as being because of they gender. I for one can say that I don’t fear women taking over the world because I just don’t see them capable of it. What I do see that bothers me is a world in which everyone is looking to be a victim. Take control of your situation, the world is not fair nor was it every meant to be. Look anywhere in nature and you will see that males and females have certain things in common and also different roles they play. It seems like so many people these days want to do away with millions of years biological evolution and change things to fit their personal agenda. Survival of the fittest is a very real thing and will always win out in the end.
Which animals should we emulate? Maybe we should emulate the bee family with a female leader?
Several recent studies show that women as a whole have the ability to cooperate and work in teams better than men do which works better in the corporate world. Should we realize therefore that the pinnacle of human evolution is the woman and force men into lower paying jobs? I hope not. I have three sons. But I would like to see a world in which everyone’s strengths were recognized and not ignored because of their gender.
I would say that the cooperation is more a thing out of necessity because they lack the independence that your average man possesses. I personally don’t give two rips about the corporate world. Talk about a bunch of lifeless drones. I would rather know that I can survive on my own without the need of the government to regulate things in my favor.
Oh, so you’re unmarried. Why am I unsurprised?
Of course I am unmarried. You say that like its a bad thing. The government is so incredibly over reaching as it is now, why the hell would I want to sign a legal contract inviting them to have even more of a say in my private life?
So it’s clear you hate uppity women and no amount of appeal to reason will make you give an inch to anyone who can not take it by physical force.
And you are hysterically, angrily determined to insist on not letting them get away with anything. Ok. I understand with that fear as motivation, you would not be able to let the slightest whiff of contradiction by a woman go by.
Dang it! A giant conspiracy that the men in government- must be men because women are not capable enough to do it- are using those weak women as a tool to get control of you. To drag you into the abyss of … well I’m not sure what but it must be something horrible.
Freedom Club, you’re a hoot and a half.
HAHA I am glad yo got not just a hoot, but an additional half of one as well out of all that I wrote. Were you wearing your tinfoil hat when you read through all of this? There is no conspiracy here, it is simply a fact that once you get legally married, you are conceding control of a huge portion of your life and possessions to the government to rule on. I am not sure what anyone’s counter point to that could be, but I’d certainly entertain some suggestions. I just find the entire concept of marriage to be a foolish farce. It is not for me, but for all the other sheeple out there that feel compelled to do it, good for them. Hope it works out better than the statistics would predict. It has nothing to do with hating women. If I was a gay man I would use the exact same logic to avoid marriage as well. Women get away with plenty and it’s not my job to make sure they don’t. However in this day and age where the gender or male is constantly under attack I feel like taking my 1st amendment right and defending them and giving the often neglected other side of the story. I am not motivated by fear because if anyone tried to drag me down into an abyss I would simply kill them. It’s better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. The reaction from some of you people when you are exposed to ideas and concepts so far away from your cherished comfort zone of beliefs is very intriguing to me.
Freedom Club is the fake group of imaginary friends that the Unabomber invented. This guy is about as socially skilled and misogynistic–nowhere near as smart. I doubt engaging him helps anything, but reading his bile makes me feel kinda sick.
