re: #82 tradewind

Yet not codified. Slight distinction there. In most of the West, it’s still breaking the law, not practicing it.

It’s pretty thin ice to be making grandstanding claims upon, don’t you think? We just had an expos in Sweden about the crimes our police are involved in. The most common is beating women. Most cases never make it to trial, of course, just like a great deal of the “civilian” cases.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen enough Cops to conclude that there are subcultures in the US that have a high tolerance for “domestic violence” as well.

Like I said, this does not mean we should not fight it at every turn. But I think it’s a bit much to use it as a moral superiority stick.
