Most loving couples have friction

The San Fran sheriff story continues. A letter to the editor says:
Come to conclusion on Mirkarimi case

I sure feel sorry for San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi. His wife, Iliana Lopez, returning from her hometown where she was caring for her sick father, is now back in the States, supposedly to defend her husband. Actually she seems to be tightening the noose around his neck by showing the bruise on her arm, over and over again.

How many wives have had their husbands lovingly grab their arms and leave fingerprint bruises? The most loving couples have friction now and then but they manage to kiss and make up. Once it goes public, it is blown so out of proportion, a reconciliation seems impossible.

Such a pity that a moment of lost temper could cause him to lose his job and she has to leave the country with their child.

The media and lawyers are not being any help. They seem to enjoy keeping this story in the limelight. Is there nothing better to do? Come to some conclusion.

Doris Rilling, Martinez
The leftists justify pursuing this case because they say that domestic violence is never a private matter.

The San Fran Examiner reports:
Eventually, the board will have to decide whether to uphold Lee’s suspension of Mirkarimi or allow him to resume his post as sheriff. It would take at least nine votes from the 11 supervisors to oust him.

Lee suspended Mirkarimi without pay on March 21 after Mirkarimi pleaded guilty to domestic violence against his wife, Eliana Lopez.
Mirkarimi actually pleaded guilty to "misdemeanor false imprisonment", and not guilty to the domestic violence charge.

San Francisco is dominated by leftist kooks who are ideologically committed to using govt to intervene in peoples' lives and bust up families. But I will be surprised if they get 9 out of 11 votes to destroy the sheriff for a trivial incident that is nobody's business.

Update: While taking a shower this morning, I noticed a bruise on my leg about the size of that on Mirkarimi's wife's arm. I don't know how I got it. It does hurt if I put pressure on it, so I must have injured it somehow. If I were married to a San Fran politician, this might occupy the govt for about 6 months. That is, if busybody neighbors, cops, prosecutors, judges, politicians, and feminist voters all conspired to over-dramatize a trivial and inconsequential bruise, as they did with Mirkarimi.

Your bruise was self inflicted. The sheriff admitted to causing someone else's bruise. Do you understand the difference ?

Probably, none. doing things "lovingly"
doesn't cause bruises.

No, you do not know that my bruise was self-inflicted. I am not sure that the sheriff has admitted to causing the bruise. His wife said that she contributed to the bruise.

I'm not sure that he admitted to causing the bruise either. It's probably b.s., it was written by you in your post of July 1. See below.

"Mirkarimi admitted to bruising her arm with an overly firm grip."

Maybe the Gays or Jews, or some leftists caused your bruise ?

It has been reported in the newspaper that Murkarimi admitted gripping his wife's arm hard enough to bruise it. "He admits he grabbed his wife's arm hard enough to leave a bruise and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of false imprisonment." The leftists are responsible for making a big deal out of a trivial incident.

So what's he responsible for ?

Didn't you have a problem with the family court Judge suggesting that you lacked empathy ?

George said...

Yes, I do have a problem with that. I will post a more complete answer in the next few days.

Zero. Loving acts don't leave bruises, unless maybe, it's consentual.

How would you feel if your daughters ended up with bruises like this ? Would you consider it some guy's or woman's right to grip and bruise their arm ?
Would you suggest that he challenge someone to a duel if they tried to deny his right to do so ?

My daughters play sports where they sometimes get bruises. It is not a big deal. If someday one is married and dissatisfied with how she is being treated, then she has a legal remedy. She can get a divorce. Lopez (Murkarimi's wife) is not asking for a divorce, or any other remedy.

How about an answer ?

I do believe that Murkarimi and Lopez have a right to their private marriage, and should not be accountable to anyone else for a bruise. What they do is their business.

Dueling is illegal in the USA, and I do not advocate breaking the law. But if there were ever a good reason for a duel, it would be telling a man that he cannot see his wife.

It is of course the leftist-feminist-LGBT officials who are intervening in their marriage.

Did you post the following.

"The honorable thing to do would have been to cancel his leftist-feminist memberships, repudiate his anti-family ideology, defend his right to grip his wife, and challenge Lee to a duel."
