The police arrested me, and then threw me in jail, if only for a half hour. I was charged with battery. The criminal court threw the case out as my wife took two days to tell the police. The state reasoned that, if she was felt afraid, then she would contact the police sooner, however, the charge stayed on my record for 2½ years. Later in family (civil) court, though my wife testified that I never hit or pushed her, the family judge issued a two year Order of Protection against me. My attorney ($350/hr, 25 yrs experience) said that, with this document, if my wife felt threatened and I was in another state speaking on the telephone, then she could have me arrested. He added that I would serve time in jail. Being a heterosexual white conservative male citizen is not secure and safe. Violence Against Women Act works in congress too: protecting women while ignoring the innocent. On May 2002 my wife told the police that it looked like I was going to hit her.

As with the Duke rape case, what really goes on is the fact that the law is applied precisely on the basis of who a person is rather than the facts and equal application of the law for all. The fact that one of the nations lawmakers gets special treatment for what she is, namely, a Black female member of Congress tells us that even Congress does not believe in equality under the law. Certainly if a white male member of Congress slapped a black female officer he would be forced to resign, thrown in jail, and face a future civil case taking as much from him as possible. In the Duke rape case the evidence is stacking up against the accuser. This never should have made it to a grand jury, and the case should have been dropped a long time ago. The accused are upper middle class white guys. Add to this that everyday men are screwed in family courts, employment, harrassment charges and other lawsuits, and are discriminated almost everywhere in society. Why on earth white heterosexual men have not delared war on this country by now is a mystery to me. The idea of “equal in the eyes of the law” is seen for what it really is: a joke.
