Dana Perino: Female Victims Of Violence Should 'Make Better Decisions'

[ballscout1]

Appearing on Fox News Wednesday evening, Dana Perino suggested female victims of violence should "make better decisions" in order to escape harm.

The comment came during a discussion about the murder of 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, who was killed by her boyfriend, NFL player Jovan Belcher. On Saturday, Belcher shot his girlfriend repeatedly, and then drove to the Kansas City Chiefs' facility, where he killed himself.

The couple was reportedly having problems for months. According to the police, Kansas City Chiefs officials were aware of the ongoing strife and even provided the couple with counseling.

In the aftermath of the murder-suicide, NBC Sports' Bob Costas took the opportunity to advocate for better gun control. "If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today," he said, quoting another columnist during a halftime segment on NBC's "Sunday Night Football."

On Fox News' "The Five," the hosts argued the opposite, suggesting that if women in domestic violence situations were armed, they'd be able to protect themselves better.

Perino, the former White House press secretary, offered a slightly different approach.

"I think it skirts the issue," she said. "Women are victims of violence all the time."




Co-host Greg Gutfeld repeated that they should have guns.

"Well, maybe, or make better decisions," Perino said.

Perkins' funeral is being held on Thursday.

How does a woman get her ass beat more than once? After the 1st thrashing the dumb bitch should have left!

Exactly.

The truth that isn't be spoken is that some women like to get their heads bashed in.

Exactly. My wife has made it clear....the first time I hit her would be the last time I hit her. She'd bounce with a quickness.

My brother and I had to tune up some dude that hit our sister and she told us she wanted to try to work it out with the dude. Man we took that decision right out of her hands cause she wasn't thinking straight.

I have to agree with her. Its hard to feel sorry for a woman that keeps asking for abuse. Dumb bitch needs to start "thinking" first and "feeling" second.

cool.

save a female only ONCE.

but if she continues to return to the same dude, or others like him, wash your hands completely of her.

are people saying that Perino's statement is controversial?

i still don't understand why people are so hell bent on disarming law abiding citizens.

Yep,

Told my sister you get involved with a dude who slaps you around the 1st time I'll move heaven and earth to help you...

The second time he slaps you around I'm mailing you boxing gloves and a book on the sweet science of boxing cause apparently you leaving your chin exposed when you come over the top with the one-two.

"Love" is a fucked up thing. It's important to have a close friend in your life that will hit you with a dose of reality when needed...or hit someone else in your case.
