…..Well if that ain’t the dumbest law in the world.….she was 23 years into her marriage…..when her husband swung a hammer at her head….and missed….she said…..“Oh hell no!“…..he was later convicted of a felony…..and then she left his ass.….and he had the nerve to ask the court for spousal support.….and won…..in 2011 she had to support the family because he had major back surgery and was at home collecting disability.….one night everything changed…..he nailed shut the windows and doors in the bedroom.….crushed her cellphone, home phone and laptop to eliminate any means of communication and threaten to kill anyone who would come by with a loaded shotgun…..he trapped her in the bedroom….forced her to go for a ride with him…..and told her we are going to die tonight….he pulled onto dirt road..…got out, swung a hammer at her and missed…..their divorce was final in 2013..…HB 2105 was a bill presented which says…..“courts shall not award support to a spouse if that person was convicted of a rape or a felony assault on his or her partner”…..the bill was assigned to the Civil Law Subcommittee of the House Courts of Justice..…on January 21, the subcommittee recommended that the bill be tabled….and no action was taken on it….it was declared dead on February 10…..Virginia…..you need to re-open that bill!
SO…..yesterday I posted some weird laws existing around the world.….and they ticked a few of you off..…later a very good friend of mine wrote back and asked…..how about some crazy laws..…which still exist..…back home…..yeah,.…fair is fair since I’ve been raggin’ on a few places across the globe…..okay….sure….why not…..I cracked open a beer…..made sure the chicken wasn’t burning on the stove..…and took a look-see….it’s nice to know some states have evolved.….but some of y’all???…….this is what‘s still on the books..…so Cynthia….here you go……give your hubby a big kiss from across the pond..…and say hi to Seattle for me….
