Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Oct. 19. Alderman Edward Burke, of Pittston, showed that he
is a two-fisted dispenser of justice when he treated Anthony Azakas, charged
with wife beating, to a dose of his own medicine.
Azakas had been
brought before the magistrate for blackening the eyes of his wife. Mrs. Azakas
had told only part of her story, when Alderman Burke shouted: “Wait a minute. I
am getting tired of this. I am going to see how he likes it.” With these
remarks the magistrate jumped over the top of his desk, ordered Azakas to stand
up and, as he did so, rapped him a hard one over the left eye.
The defendant went
down, but the Alderman ordered him to his feet. Azakas came up meekly and
penitent, but a blow just above the other optic sent him to the floor again.
Sobbingly, Azakas begged for mercy. He came slowly to his feet when a couple of
stinging slaps to the soles of his feet when a couple of stinging slaps to the
sides of his face gave him the sudden desire to see how fast the alderman could
run. Azakas did not get very far, for Magistrate Burke seized him by the coat
collar, shook him up a bit and then sat him down harder than he ever had been
seated before.
Up went thje hands
of Azakas for mercy, and when he promised time and again that he never would
raise a hand against his wife ther alderman decided to stop the rough stuff.
Azakas thought it was all over and was ready to take the arm of his wife and
leave. “Just a second,” said the alderman, “there is a little matter of fine
and costs here. It will require $10 to get your freedom.” Azakas paid up and
left the office with his eye almost
swollen shut. He was glad for his wife’s arm to lead him.

►• You have been told that before the rise of feminism in the 1960s that domestic violence against women was tolerated by society as acceptable behavior and was not taken seriously by police and the courts.
You have been lied to. The people who told you these
lies were paid to tell them you. In most cases you paid your own money (taxes
and tuition fees) to be lied to.
Here is one of countless pieces of evidence that demonstrate
the truth.
►•►• To see more eloquent, vivid
evidence proving the lie and giving you the truth, see:
►19th Century Intolerance Towards Domestic Violence
► Treatment of Domestic Violence Against Women Before 1960 – this post collects cases classified by the form of punishment or sentencing (whether judicial or through community action)
No, the claim that laws created by males were for the benefit of males is false. Yes, the "Rule of Thumb" myth has been proven to be a marxist-feminist hoax, taking an ancient English common historical notation published in the 18th century and extrapolating it into unsupported claims that 18th and 20th century United States communities, courts and legislatures (laws on the books) were in agreement with the18th century historical notation (Blackstone).

“[O]nly since the 1970s has the criminal justice system
begun to treat domestic violence as a serious crime, not as a private family
matter.”
From the entry: “Domestic Violence” on encyclopedia.com
This claim has been proven to be false.

ReplyDeleteBut in the 1920s, it was, in practice, legal (due to the values of male jurors) for women to murder their husbands. See: "Woman and her right to kill."
DeleteThe teachers lie when they tell us that "society approved of domestic violence against women" before 1960s feminism came along and changed things. The media and the teachers who repeat fraudulent historical claims are involved in a hoax.
