In response to "I can't think of the thing that she could have done that would justify a beating. [nm]" by Mel Profit

See, that's the thing that gets me.

I probably didn't word or paraphrase my earlier post as well as I should have, but my coworker is saying she must have done *something* to justify this.

"I'm not saying that domestic violence is a good thing, but..." is not a good way to start. Did she do something that set him off? Oh yeah, she did. Was it something that justified getting scratched/punched/bit? Hell no. Never.

maybe she did something to cause it but not justify it. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 10, 10:21 4
- saying she *caused* it is still dicey. there could have been a catalyst (which is what i morbidly wondered about) - kare Feb 10, 10:22 2
  - I'm thinking that's what he meant. -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 10:25 1
    - i guess my thinking was that the word *cause* seems to exonerate him in some way - kare Feb 10, 10:28
- Exactly. -- nm - kelly Feb 10, 10:22
