To me, the really, really disgusting thing about this was that the American defense attorney (a woman, and city paid, I imagine) actually said in his defense that it was ok in “his culture” to “discipline” your wife that way. “Discipline” your wife? And something is OK because you come from a stinking armpit of the world that subscribes to an insane death cult so therefore you can do whatever you want?
This is the kind of thing that used to be screened back when I brought my wife home in 1976 and we went through a myriad of troublesome hoops to please the bureaucrats.
Untold requirements that don’t exist save the answer to three basic questions” “Is this person from a 3rd world shithole?,” “is this person non-white,” and “is it likely he/she will be a Democrat voter?”
