During last week the public at large viewed a shocking video of a young woman being viciously abused. She was slapped, kicked, slammed into a clothing rack and even stomped. The man in the video is her father and the matter is now before the court and sub judice, meaning it is under judicial consideration and therefore prohibited from public discussion elsewhere.
However, without commenting specifically on the incident I want to highlight the equally horrific public comments by many, mostly women, who from all appearances have found ways of justifying the act.
