The TurkeyBlog hates these people too:In NZ, a 16 year-old girl was dragged out of her house by her 19 year-old boyfriend who preceeded to beat her with a ballbat. Fortunately, she had managed to hang on to the knife she had slept with since he started threatening her and she stabbed him.
The kicker. They're contemplating prosecution because she took the law into her own hands:
But police were still undecided whether to charge the girl, who suffered minor head injuries and bruises.Here's the New Zealand Herald story. I got it from Natalie Solent, who has the blogosphere link trail.
"We'll obviously look at the self-defence aspect ... She's been fearful of this guy because of his violent history towards her in the past."
But police were also conscious of the need to deter people from carrying weapons for protection because of the risks.
"If they fear someone, they should call the police."
