Tom Leykis on domestic violence

I haven't done a video in a while so I thought I'd phone one on in and release this interesting monologue from shock jock Tom Leykis. Some are going to complain but I don't relate to most of what Tom says. Occasionally he has an interesting topic like this.

I agree with a lot of what Tom has to say here, there is a limit of how much a person can be completely absolved from a situation. But to even voice thoughts of this kind is called "blaming the victim". Sometimes the victim deserves a portion of the blame. That is reality.

Say I was murdered for walking the docks at night. The person who murdered me should be caught and held to account for the crime. But I played a part in the fate that befell me. The same way that a person accepts the chances of cancer if they were to smoke. Don't cry afterwards because you decided to smoke and then got cancer.

A person who has committed domestic violence has committed violence -- that is illegal. In caring societies we should have laws against violence, and we do. In the past much of DV was ignored and the feminists changed attitude. We should also help people who have nowhere to go, like a housewife with no job skills.

We should help people but we should not capitulate to their helplessness. De-politicise DV, and realise that like all crimes, you cannot completely stamp it out. A lot of it stems from a state of mind.

I am not a fan of MRA's becoming victim mongerers. But I have two problems with DV as it stands in the modern zeitgeist:

1) The services provided are for women only. This is oppressive against men and violates the constitution of the U.S.

2) There are lies spread by the feminists to increase confusion and anti-male sentiment. Their way lies not in the truth.

@karlsmith00 Man-haters like karlsmith fit hand-in-glove into Marxism (karlsmith has identified herself as a Marxist on this thread) because it erases the distinctions between violent men and peaceful men, distinctions that Marxism doesn't want revealed.

@karlsmith00 Your provocativeness is another source of violence.

[lordandreaix]

Actually, there was never a time in U.S. history when it was acceptable to beat your wife.

@MrROTD evidence look at this earth, read the bible, especially 2 timothy chapter 3 verse 1 through 9. KING JAMES VERSION.

@TheElectronicaman where's the evidence? I desparately want there to be a god but there' is no indication whatsoever. I want to see some real proof otherwise shuut up, we aren't buying your BS

@karlsmith00 Lie no. 1: You’re UGLY!

THE TRUTH: The Lord shall beautify the meek with salvation (Psalms 149:4).

Let the Beauty of the Lord our God be upon us (Psalms 90:17).

Guys, please just don't respond to this karlsmith character. They only want attention. If people simply ignored their comments, they'd move on. It's like magic I assure you all.
