For example. One of my good friends is in a domestic situation right now where he hasn't been able to see his kids all weekend due to his wife calling the cops on him last thursday. She said that he threw boiling water at her... I know this guy very, very well and he would never, ever do that.. he tells me that they were fighting at the dinner table and he got up and threw his plate in the sink. His 5 year old son tells it the same way.
Yet he was unable talk to his kids or sleep in his bed all weekend even though he was not charged with anything. I'm not saying that he didn't do anything wrong, they fight all the time and you shouldn't lose your temper like that... but it did not go down like she said and when all this shakes out who knows how this will look on his record.

Gee whiz, what a shock. I’m sorry that sound so cruel but your constant defense of such behavior must be routed in something personal.
Yes, I am very critical of bad behavior. But behavior (unless you are psychotic) is a choice and times I have had a overwhelming feelings of rage but the only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to know that ACTING on our emotions in this way is wrong and should not be tolerated.
The constant rationalization of criminal behavior may not explain why it happens but it certainly explains why it happens so often.
I know you will ignore this or worse, turn it in to some sort of justification for your position, but maybe someday the light will go on for you, good luck.
