Breakfast Is Served!
By Wyatt Earp | June 22, 2008
Did you ever have one of those days where you knew you should have stayed in bed? I mean, besides the day you wake up next to Dorothy Krysiuk, that is.
Yeah, today is one of those days at the Division.
When we walked into the office, there was an arrest waiting for my co-worker Dom (aka “The Godfather”). It was a domestic assault where the husband threw a steaming hot plate of food onto his wife’s chest. You can’t make this stuff up, kids! The wife suffered bruises and burns to her upper chest, and the officers arrested the offender at the scene.
So, The Godfather brings in the wife, who is Cambodian, and immediately it starts. The wife says that she needs her daughter to sit in on the interview because she doesn’t speak English.
She told him this IN ENGLISH!!!
The daughter was brought in anyway, and before the interview even started, the wife said she did not want her husband go to jail. When asked why she called the police, she stated that she just wanted them separated. Guess what? They were separated. He was going to jail, and she was going home. Her response?
“I DON’T WANT THAT! I DON’T WANT THAT!”
Suffice to say, she left the Division in a huff without giving a statement. Unfortunately for her and her husband, Pennsylvania law mandates a no-tolerance policy for domestic assaults. If there are visible marks, the offender gets arrested. End of story.
I guess Miss I-Don’t-Speak-English will be dining alone today.

Ugh.

Good, this will give her a chance to think about her relationship. Thirty more incidents like this, and she may finally realize it is time to go. Well, if she isn’t dead by then.

Unbelievable.
That guy is really going to mess her up when he gets home.

It doesn’t sound like she gives much thought to the whole “relationship” thing.
A wise friend once told me (in describing the dynamics of repeated domestic violence) that some people like to hit and other like to get hit. While we don’t necessarily understand or subscribe to their way of life, it’s just the way they are.
I’ve never hit, choked, kicked, punched, or shaken a woman. But I have been pushed to the brink (by a woman who I refer to as my first ex wife).
My current relationship has never even broached the threshold of violence. I chose wisely this time.
It could be that these two knuckleheads are made for one another.

You can pretty much look forward to seeing those two again.

If it keeps up, she will castrate him in sleep… Wouldn’t be the first time an Asian female has done that…

Sigh. Some people are totally beyond help. I hope he doesn’t kill her next time.

RT – At least she didn’t say, “Me so horny.”
Marvin – They rarely, if ever learn. That’s the problem.
Admiral – Someone’s getting a caning!
Jason – Oh come on, I smack my wife around all the time! *ducks*
Jennifer – Guaranteed. They’ll be back.
Old NFO – OUCH!!!
Ky person – I hope he doesn’t, either. I really do.

I am in charge when my wife is not around…

Jason – (Hold on, let me check if she’s here . . . nope.)
I’m the boss all the time around here!
