Domestic Violence Series Substitutes Emotion for Facts

The San Francisco Chronicle's recent series on domestic violence movingly portrays the tragic murder of Nadine Nunes at the hands of her ex-husband Todd Vernon, who also killed his three children. However, there is no credible evidence to support the series

I bet that not once will they even consider that maybe the wife deserves to be beaten (/sarc) [Donning asbestos underwear now.]

Your attribution makes it appear to readers that the posted article was printed in the San Francisco Chronicle. It was not.

"men are murdering their partners in increasing numbers"

That's a stupid assertion - domestic violence murders have been going DOWN somewhat in recent years.

And you know what we got for the 10 billion or so we spent on the programs? Less women kill their husbands nowadays - about 60% less than 20 years ago. By giving women options and resources, they are less likely to kill their partners, it would seem.

I do volunteer work for a men's crisis organization, and I see this all the time. Men however, even in abusive situations, often have no options - if they complain about being beaten they will likely be arrested, if the men leave with the kids they have nowhere to go and if they leave the relationship they will be crippled with financial payments.

Meanwhile the harpies at the "domestic violence" organization increase their hysteria and rhetoric every time the funding is threatened. And if they need to lie in protect the funding - they will happily do so. And none of the fems and lefties in the MSM are willing to call them on it.
