Domestic violence isn't limited to any particular ethinc group, it's alcohol that often sets it into motion. I doubt this is the 1st time the poor woman has been hit by this partner of her "longtime relationship". Hopefully, she will leave and realize she doesn't deserve violence.

I just pray the victim leaves this jerk for good and realizes that NOTHING she did or said warrants this violence.

I grew up in a midwest state with VERY, very, few minorities, and guess what? The prisons and jails weren't empty, and neither was the welfare line. They were full of caucasians, instead of minorities like they are here. Crime and poverty aren't limited to minorities, and neither is domestic violence. The secondary tragedy to the domestic violence is the misinformation and the assumptions about the victim or the culture of said victim or perpetrator. This is evidenced right here in the comments on this board, (ie. what the victim may have done to instigate or deserve the attack) that victimize that person all over again.

Maybe use this case for healthcare funded contraception and pro choice ad's?

Yes, in fact he is from Santa Barbara. Born to unwed mother in 1979.

Yes, stereotypes are invented to justify the abuse of minorities, broadly defined.

This guy is pretty lame. He's definitely not from here. I don't recognize him and I know everyone. It's true that very few guys that grew up here would do this to their girlfriend. Beating on girls is NOT part of local culture. Not sure how to fix this guy. To me he's like a dog that bites.

601 - Thank you for the great insight - I have witnessed countless crimes and violence against women in my lifetime - Some have been friends, family, and strangers. Not once will I say say it has anything to do with the "skew of Mexicans" and domestic violence. I appreciate your comments but I do feel we all need to be very careful when we make statements that teeter on the edge of stereotypes. Domestic Violence is Domestic Violence - It has no color - I am a 5th generation Santa Barbara native & I am native american - I'm sure you could come up with a slew of sterotypes for that too -

What does the Red Jump Suit mean?

601: "THEIR women"?! That mindset is part of the problem. You've just identified a person as belonging to someone.

ES, WS, Cito Brats, Skins, Northside, they're all losers and so are you if you hang out with them. Period.

Mr. or Mrs. 315601 - When you say you grew up with Cito Rats, Skins, Northside, what exactly are you saying? Also, Mexican culture does not promote or accept any violence upon a woman. I think some of the other references you make about others (ES, WS) are a bit skewed and reckless.. It may be best to stop making reckless statements - Edhat is not the place for this type of conversation. I myself like others consider the situation very unfortunate and sad - Hope the victim can recover from her injuries and able to move on to safer relationships.

What she did to cause this is hook up with thee abuser, this handsome and strong guy..

"machismo" = disgusting scumbag(s). And keep in mind you daddies out there...if you do it to mommy, chances are your son will do it when he's older too.

FIVE police plus a few security guys to catch him?

Still, glad they got him.

And honey? Who ever you are, you can do better. He's no prize. And if you go back to him. He will do it again. I'd bet anything on it.
