When there’s domestic violence and it’s committed by a woman, it’s not domestic violence. Here a woman allegedly hit her husband with her car, drove a 1/2 mile with him on the roof, fractured his leg, and drove off–and she says she’s the victim. She is being charged with some appropriate crimes–at least until her “I was afraid” shtick gets some traction and the prosecutors cave–but there’s no mention of “domestic violence.”
Woman Allegedly Drives With Hubby on Car
Associated Press, September 27, 2007
HASTINGS, Minn. - A Farmington woman accused of driving for half a mile with her husband on the hood of her car and her 9-year-old child in the front passenger seat now faces criminal charges.
The Dakota County Attorney’s office filed a felony criminal complaint this week charging Jill Ann Miller-Cooper, 34, with two counts of criminal vehicular operation resulting in substantial bodily harm and one count of child endangerment.
Miller-Cooper is accused of hitting her husband on Aug. 15 in the parking lot of the restaurant he owns. The complaint said the impact tossed Randall Cooper onto the car’s hood and Miller-Cooper drove off. The complaint said she eventually stopped and her husband fell off the car, then she drove away.
However, Miller-Cooper told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that her husband climbed on the car while it was parked.
“He was very threatening, and I wanted to leave,” she said. “I stopped two times. He put his leg down, and I slammed on the brakes. … It’s been an ugly situation.”
Cooper suffered a fractured knee.

…… which means that after she invokes her get-out-of-jail-for-free card (the vagina clause), the court will just have to IGNORE Randall Cooper’s testimony.
Another poor sap that thought that he ought to marry in America…….
Doesn’t he understand that he’s a fourth-class citizen?

1) should a man ever trust a women who desires 2 last names?
2) what did it take to finally break the shakels of tyranny from english rule?
3) does a good father engage his son in meaningful dialogue or just keep his mouth shut to appease the women in the family and protect his own security and perceived position?
