Fox News host Dana Perino engaged in some victim blaming on Wednesday when she declared that women who had suffered from violence should “make better decisions.”
The conservative hosts of Fox News’ The Five on Wednesday continued their week-long effort to defend gun culture in the wake of a murder/suicide involving NFL football player Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, by claiming that “bedding” and vehicles were more deadly than guns.
“This isn’t an issue about gun control,” co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle insisted. “This is an issue about domestic violence and a man who had a troubled past; had a history documented of being, unfortunately, sadly, abusive to women; an inability to be able to control his temper and his emotions; a lack of impulse control.”

Important post. I can’t believe that someone especially a woman excuse his behavior. It’s troubling that mindset.
Well it IS Dana Perino…not the brightest person. but they will go to hell and back to defend guns and I’m for gun rights but not all this senseless killing… thanks for stopping by.
Your welcome thanks for posting something so important. I survived physical abuse and I can say that My mother would not leave but I did. I understand if she is commenting on that point. I wish these women would leave but no matter what it is not there fault they are assaulted. It worsens the crime of the abuser is even more egregious because the person who they are abusing love them so much they endure this treatment. right or wrong. To blame the victim at ANY point is so sick and twisted it makes me feel physically Ill. I don’t know how you could say something like that and not feel sick with your self afterward.
Good post!
