I'm a POS for calling her a twat for staying with the guy accused of FELONIUS domestic abuse? I'll take that pick all day.
There are enough services out there for battered women who have children to protect them and take care of them. IF they decide to stay in the relationship, THEN that certainly doesn't change the propensity for further abuse to her, the child or anyone else that remains. Removing yourself from the Aggressor is the only route to safety. There's no "maybe" in that.

There was a time I would have at least partially agreed with you. Not to the extent of calling the victim names, but saying there is no reason for her not to leave. But OsUPhAN is right. You don't know her situation or her background. Because of things in her past (abuse home life or relationships, etc.), her self esteem may be so low she thinks she deserves it. I've known people who have been in abusive relationships and felt they were trapped or felt it was their fault. I may not understand it but it is their reality. There was a time I knew much more than I do now. Things like there is no excuse for her not leaving. It seems like the older I get the less I really know.

There is a shit load that none of us know. That's a given. However, this also doesn't remove certain realities. All options are on the table.
I didn't mention this before, because it just didn't come to the forefront of my mind; however, the more I think about this, the more I realize that I'm disturbed by the contingency of her actions. The "strangling her as she stood over the crib of the couple’s child" shows a blatant disregard for the child by Domond. The Accuser is more than welcome to take all the malevolence that she feels she can; however, she's providing no options for the child. Either the child is going to be a direct recipient of shit in the future or the child will learn to follow in the same footsteps (whether those are real or of all the "maybe"s raised earlier) as Mom. That, to me, is the travesty and primary reason for my statement in the beginning. Protection of your child should be forefront of your mind even to your own detriment.
Anyway... I'm a POS so be it.

Ben Miles lands LSU offer

Monday was a big day for 2017 Catholic High fullback Ben Miles in more ways than one.

Not only did he celebrate his birthday, he also celebrated landing a big offer from LSU.

Miles, who is the youngest son of Les Miles, has been paving the way for Catholic running backs since he was a freshman.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pounder was offered as a fullback.

OK, Ben Miles, is not rated, has no other offers, is a fullback at just 210 lbs, and his old man is the LSU coach. I'd say if a recruit was ever a "lock" to go to LSU this is it.

Not saying I even agree with myself here but because I feel like spitballing... couldnt it almost be said that we have a DUTY to shame someone for staying in a relationship with someone who has abused them? Of course there are circumstances we dont know about and wont understand but keeping some amount of pressure as a society on those people to do what they can to escape seems like a safeguard as opposed to juse turning a blind eye and being overly accepting of girls who do decide that its ok to keep going back to someone who says they are sorry and would never ever do it again.

LSU's Harris, Dupre save woman and son from flood
Glenn Guilbeau / Gannett Louisiana 9:08 p.m. CDT October 27, 2015

BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU quarterback Brandon Harris and wide receiver Malachi Dupre had quite a weekend.

On Saturday night, Harris, a sophomore from Bossier City, threw for a career high 286 yards and tied a career high with three touchdown passes as the Tigers defeated Western Kentucky, 48-20, in Tiger Stadium. Dupre, a sophomore from New Orleans, caught a career long 55-yard touchdown pass from Harris and had two other catches for 86 yards in all.

Then on Sunday – about a block from Tiger Stadium on Burbank Drive near Walk-On's restaurant – Harris and Dupre helped a woman and her young diabetic son whose car was overtaken by flood waters that plagued areas in Baton Rouge after two days of hard rain. Both players dove into water to get inside the car to retrieve insulin for the boy, according to LSU coach Les Miles and sports information director Michael Bonnette.

"I'm told that two of our guys during that monsoon that we had stepped in and helped a stranded motorist and her child," Miles said to reporters after practice Tuesday night. "Basically they went into a car that had insulin in it for a diabetic son, went under water and got it. That was Brandon Harris and Malachi Dupre doing good things on their own without direction."

Harris and Dupre called an audible.

"In fact, I would've probably told them to stay out of the water," Miles said. "But truth of the matter is that they knew better. Great that everybody's healthy, and it was a great move. But you know what, there's a lot of real quality people on this team. It's a football team brought together to get an education and play championship football, but there's a lot of stories like that go untold that are pretty special."

Cont'd ...
