Reply #98: Your concern for the welfare of domestic abusers is admirable in an abstract way [View All]

but if forced to choose the lesser of two evils, I would hope the abuser is the one carried out
feet first. Whether by means of an evil gun, a baseball bat, or the side of the hand to the
larnyx matters not. I can see no honor being derived from becoming a dead victim, unless one is so
dedicated a pacifist that defending your own life is ethically impossible for you.

That is a choice for the individual to make, not me, you, or anyone else.

Y'know, it *is* possible to both attempt to repair society for the long term and try to keep yourself
alive in the short term.
