Of course. Remember this poll, we will have fun in a few weeks.

Are you going to make a case that cheating in Monopoly is an excuse for domestic abuse?

It is not considered abuse if it self defense.

That’s terrible!

Wow!

That ain't right

seriously?? wow

This is the problem with domestic violence. I always thought it was beating your wife until this happened. There should be a difference between something that could be scary (I expect the intent is to convict someone who throws the VCR at her rather than drops it in frustration), and actually harming someone. If you limit this question to physical harm o agree completely.

For the sake of the poll....I would classify it as physical harm. Going beyond that goes into some grey areas that are harder to define.

I cant find that in any resource on domestic abuse law in the state of oklahoma, and i have looked at several resources, for instance

Oklahoma refers to domestic violence as domestic abuse. It’s also sometimes referred to as domestic assault & battery (A&B). It is defined in 22 O.S. § 60.1 as any act of physical harm, or the threat of imminent physical harm which is committed by an adult, emancipated minor, or minor child 13 years of age or older against another adult, emancipated minor or minor child who are family or household members or who are or were in a dating relationship.
Assault, defined in 21 O.S. § 641, is the willful and unlawful attempt or offer with force, coercion, or violence to do corporal harm to another. Battery, defined in 21 O.S. § 642, is any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another.

no disrespect to your 3rd party information but your friend wasnt being 100% truthful, he either threatened her, hit her or he wasnt charged with domestic abuse, maybe destruction of property, the whole ex-wife who you argue with easily but youre still good enough to help each other move is suspicious already.

Not sure when your source dates from. This incident was early 90s. 93/94 ish would be my guess.

My girlfriend at the time was close friends with his wife. She (wife) supported this version of events. She knew the law and admitted to my then GF that she had been pushing his buttons on purpose in hopes of something like that.

NFL players would say there's no one else to hit at home.
