Is wife-beating back in fashion?

In Topeka, Kansas, protestors hit the streets after the city decriminalised misdemeanor spousal abuse. The move angered victim’s rights advocates in Colorado and now the advocates are learning about proposed changes to Colorado’s domestic violence laws. Colorado is one of 23 states requiring police to arrest all domestic violence offenders when someone calls 911, and they should just keep it that way. An act can look like a minor incident but domestic violence is a pattern. On average, the survivors that the Safehouse Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence in Boulder work with have been assaulted 16 times or more before law enforcement is ever involved. In other news, peanut butter (NOT penis butter) lovers could be in for a shock because consumer experts say the price of a jar of peanut butter could soar by 30-percent as soon as the end of this month because of recent dry weather in Georgia and other states which produce peanuts.
