In 1931, Clark Gable's acting career
took off after he decked Barbara Stanwyck in the movie Night
Nurse. He got 10,000 fan letters from breathless females.
Today male and female superheroes
routinely slug it out on the big screen but if ordinary men and
women so much as shove, they can be arrested for "domestic assault."
Men risk jail, legal bills, and the
loss of family, house and job if they so much as argue with a woman.
This is the result of the widespread
"zero tolerance" policy which defines domestic assault as any
physical contact, no matter how innocuous. The charge is laid by the
state even if no harm has been done.
Ostensibly this policy protects
women but its real purpose is to emasculate men and persecute
heterosexuals. It's another front in the Rockefeller-based elite's
campaign to degrade society, destroy family and
decrease population by making heterosexuality unworkable.
THE DANGER ZONE
Couples all experience stress,
especially if they have children. Now a woman having a tantrum can
incarcerate her husband simply by dialling 911. She can hold this
threat over his head.
The policy undermines male
leadership. A husband called his wife "lazy." A neighbor told her to
"teach him a lesson." So she called the police and falsely charged
him with slapping her.
"Now she needs help with the
children and but we have to live apart," he said outside court. "She
is very upset and sorry."
"Women make false charges like
crazy," a Legal Aid lawyer said. There is no penalty for doing this.
A male said his common law wife
falsely charged him to get him out of the house. From the back of
the police car, he saw her standing on the lawn with her boyfriend.
Another man heard the 2 a.m. "knock
on the door" after he had broken up with his girlfriend earlier the
same night. She charged him with holding her arms (when she was
hitting him.) He had a hefty legal bill and risked losing his job.
The majority of these cases are
"stayed" after many court appearances because the women won't
testify or its his word against hers.
WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER
The policy accustoms people to the interference of police in their
personal lives, which is the hallmark of dictatorship.
Having an argument is now a crime.
"The walls are thin," one couple said. They were arrested after a
neighbour heard voices raised. A witness vouched they didn't touch
each other but the cops have no discretion.
People lose respect for the law.
"It's supposed to be a free country but it don't seem free any
more," a man told me.
The policy is a grotesque boondoggle
for police, therapists, prisons, courts and lawyers. It swells the
ranks of the bureaucracy which has an economic stake in the elite's
new world order.
In Winnipeg where I live, half the
1200-man police force is dedicated to domestic violence. "To me that
statistic is staggering," police Chief Jack Ewatski, told the
Winnipeg Free Press "It puts a significant stress on our ability
to police the city in other areas."
More than half the inmates at the
overflowing "Remand Centre" are husbands. Special facilities have
been built at a penitentiary to house 200 more "domestics." Most of
these men have yet to be convicted of anything.
NINETY PER CENT TRIVIAL
I have interviewed about 65 people charged with domestic assault for
my web site,
www.zerotolerancesucks.com. Most of these people have limited
means. Their fights are usually trivial, harmless and involve
alcohol.
I met only one person who fits the
profile of a "battered woman." Even she wants the choice of charging
her abuser or not. She feels she can handle her situation.
A veteran lawyer who specializes in
domestic violence confirmed that only 10% of his clients fit the
profile of chronic wife beater.
Most people call the police to help
defuse a tense situation only to be arrested, finger printed and
jailed. They miss work and lose jobs.
"Sometimes I deserve a smack," one
male said. "She gave me one. I pushed her out of the way and left.
We're fine. We're a normal couple. We had one rough night. No one
was hurt. No one charged anyone."
I do not condone or encourage
domestic violence of any kind.
But most of these incidents should
not involve police. Police should intervene only when someone has
been injured or complains. They should be given discretion over
whether the complaint is serious.
When two men in a bar get into a
fight, there is a mediation process. No charges are laid for a first
offence. Why are lovers treated differently?
Finally, I have seen only one
same-sex couple (2 lesbians) in 20 courthouse visits although
domestic violence is reputed to be fairly common among homosexuals.
WOMEN FAVORED YET ALSO VICTIMIZED
A lawyer said: "The women call the shots." Police often refuse to
accept a man's charge. When a wife bit his husband's finger, the cop
told him: "What was your finger doing in her mouth?" Another man was
told to "take it like a man."
Yet the system is capricious. Women
are often victimized. One mother of four on social assistance
slapped her common-law husband when he said he didn't care about the
children. He pushed her against a wall and she called police.
They arrested only her. "That's what
I get for being honest," she said. "I don't know why I'm being
persecuted."
Another woman slapped her boyfriend
when he made light that she was pregnant with his child. He called
the police and she was arrested. Legal fees: $1200.
Another woman said: "My ex boyfriend
called me from jail. He was out in two days and bothering me again.
What's the point of calling the police? It's not worth the trouble."
In the crush of trivial cases, women
in genuine danger are overlooked. Feminist activists don't care
about women who are "sleeping with the enemy." They are using
endangered women to advance the elite's lesbian agenda.
A MOCKERY OF JUSTICE
The zero tolerance policy makes a mockery of the principles of
justice. A real crime (i.e. injury) must take place before someone
is arrested and jailed. There should be a presumption of innocence.
There should be evidence and not just one person's word.
Domestic violence was not a problem
before feminists and their elite sponsors invented it. It isn't a
problem today. For example, according to the 1999 Canadian
General Social Survey, only 7% of people married or common law
experienced "some type of violence" within the previous five years.
These are almost evenly divided between men and women.
The rate of spousal homicide for
wives is 7 per million in Canada. In the U.S., the murder rate for
wives/girlfriends is between 1 and 4 /1000th of one percent
depending on race.
CONCLUSION
Something fundamental has gone awry
when half the police force is dedicated to marital spats.
Heterosexuals should wake up and
smell the coffee. We have been under sustained attack for over 40
years. It is no accident that the roles of wife and mother have
become stigmatized and men have been demonized. It's no accident
that, as with people who have a terminal disease, we hear little
discussion of our collective future.
Society is victim to an insidious
campaign of elite social engineering and political persecution. It's
time we told our Lucifer-loving financial elite, "Enough."
