Wife Attacks Husband After Finding Porn

Wife Attacks Husband After Finding Copies of The Onion in Car
Victim tells police his wife considers the papers "pornography" and it has caused issues in their marriage.

he Shepherd Express and The Onion are iconic Wisconsin publications well known for their alternative views and humor.

However, when one man's wife found issues of those two papers in his trunk, it incited an incident that could very well be mistaken for a headline in The Onion.

A 56-year-old Menomonee Falls woman is facing charges after she allegedly attacked her husband for having copies of the Shepherd Express and The Onion in the trunk of his car.

Lynne M. Rasbornik was charged in Waukesha County Circuit Court Monday with one count of disorderly conduct domestic abuse. If convicted, she faces up to 90 days in jail and $1,000 in fines.

According to the criminal complaint:

On May 19, the victim’s car was parked in their driveway in the N5100 block of Dolphin Drive and Rasbornik was going through the trunk when she found copies of the newspapers. She came into the house and confronted her husband about the papers then attacking him.

I guess porn really is dangerous.

[lumberjack_jeff]

1. I stand corrected.

I guess there is a correlation between porn and domestic violence.

[Enrique]

2. I love both of those publications

but not in that way

[immoderate]

5. Are they porn?

Thought The Onion is satire. Don't know the other.

3. Wisconsin Conservative Behavior anything liberal KILL IT WITH FIRE!!....lol nt

[WilliamPitt]

4. Gasoline ---> Fire

[slackmaster]

6. The Onion? Really?

[surrealAmerican]

8. That seems like an awfully light sentence for domestic abuse.

Is that typical? I hope the man gets some help, and a restraining order.

[4th law of robotics]

10. Pretty common when the abuser is female

and the abusee is male.

Switch that around and it may very well be years behind jail.

[unreadierLizard]

13. Police generally ignore female abusers

because they can't take it seriously.

And so many male victims of domestic abuse suffer in silence.

[lumberjack_jeff]

22. Until the abuser becomes a victim.

Of all domestic violence, 15% is unilateral violence by men, 35% is unilateral violence by women and 50% is reciprocal. Also, 89% of the women who report being in abusive relationships say that they perpetrate violence themselves. It also indicates that reciprocal violence is the more likely to be associated with injury, of which women get the more severe.

14. You think the man needs help with his Onion problem?

[PotatoChip]

11. And this is news how?

Really, how does this differ from the umpteen *brazillion* occurrences happening everywhere, everyday in this country? And what does the 'reason' the aggressor used to attack this man have to do with it? If it wasn't porn, it could have been that her dinner was not hot enough when she arrived home, or that he hadn't cleaned the house properly, or he just didn't have an appropriately subservient 'look' on his face.

Far be it from me to tell professional writers how to frame this story. But the fact that the victim is still alive to tell it leads me to believe that this must be a slow news day in Menomonee Falls.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Wow. Making light of domestic abuse. A new low. I get that some people are very interested in carrying on the porn wars, but this man was in no danger. He restrained his abusive wife easily. Some of the comments in this thread are disgusting as well.

Domestic violence is not a lighthearted subject. Women die every day at the hands of their boyfriends and husbands.

15. Hah . . . wow.

6 sensible people out of 7 though, not bad.

[PotatoChip]

16. Many thanks to the alerter... (And no, it was not me)

To the jury... no comment.

[4th law of robotics]

21. This is inappropriate

but the hundreds of comments equating anyone who looks at porn (ie most men and more than a few women if they're being honest) with being rapists and abusers, that all is ok?

[PotatoChip]

23. I have not been following the porn threads.

Therefore I have no idea what you are talking about.

But I do think it's a bit ironic that you feel the need to opine about what is, or is not appropriate.

[4th law of robotics]

24. I don't think you know what "ironic" means

[PotatoChip]

25. LOL (nt)

[lumberjack_jeff]

17. That's awesome.

It's the most succinct yet oxymoronic example of our problem I think I've ever read.

"Wow. Making light of domestic abuse... this man was in no danger. He restrained his abusive wife easily."

[ohiosmith]

19. Precisely!

[4th law of robotics]

20. I must have completely skipped over that

hah, wow.

I can't imagine anyone posting something along the lines of "Stop making light of domestic abuse. She was in no danger, he barely even hit her".

[mythology]

18. Wow

I can't believe that somebody would actually alert on this.
