But, But, That's What We Do Back Home


This story is too weird and has irony written all over it. In the United States, if your spouse is driving you crazy and you just can't take it any more, you get a divorce. Some evil personages resort to violence, beating their wives into submission and if that doesn't work, shooting or stabbing them to death. You'd almost understand that if the behavior was coming from a sociopath, but not a guy who runs a radion station. It gets better. He runs a radio station aimed at getting rid of Muslim stereotypes and he beheaded his wife. Way to meet your goals, asshole.

Muzzammil Hassan's wife Aasiya filed for divorce in January in Orchard Park, a nice suburb of Buffalo, and when he couldn't beat any sense into her he chopped her head off and silenced her permanently. They have two children, ages 4 and 6. He turned himself into authorities immediately and I'm sure that police had no trouble recognizing him since they'd been called to his house for domestic violence several times.

This happens all the time. Not the beheading part, which is freaking me out, I mean, you have to get pretty damn close and personal to do that, right? No, the violence against women. I hope that having Biden as Vice President will get more done for these women since he's been advocating on our behalf for years. Before someone cuts their head off.
