| ... By the way, how stupid do you have to be in order to say "This song is a glorification of domestic violence."? Seriously, I'd like to know, because "domestic violence" is what the MAN was doing. If you hadn't thought your comment out so poorly, you'd say it was "glorifying murder" since it's -discouraging- domestic violence by encouraging victims to DEFEND THEMSELVES. | |

*sigh* No, it's not. You're an idiot and a self-righteous, pompous jackass. Ignoring the fact that you obviously have no experience or real knowledge about these kinds of situations (or that you may just be that stupid and honestly think that, in spite of your experience, that this is the way to respond...) I'm going to address your ridiculously asinine interpretation of this song: "That there implies that she has already done acts" ... No, you dolt. Listen again and try -thinking- this time. "He wants a fight, well, now he's got one" implies that she hasn't fought back at all up until this point. "He ain't seen me crazy yet" implies the same thing. The reason why she's going to fight back? The reason she's gone "crazy" (with fear)? She believes he's about to come home to kill her. That's implied in the fourth line of the song. Now, she's already tried to get the authorities to handle it for her. She's proven to the police that he is an abuser, as evidenced by the fact that he was locked up in jail ... however, as in most abuse cases, he was only put away for a short amount of time and rather than convincing him to stop, it only made him angrier. Again, reinforcing the fact that he's going to KILL HER. So. She's decided that, if he's going to come back to get rid of her and if the law is going to just let him go to do it, then no one's going to save her and she has to save herself. That is exactly what her plan is: Self-defense. Understand this, she is not hunting him down. This is not premeditated murder. She is waiting for him to come attack _her_. If I knew someone was coming to attack me and I knew the police weren't going to stop them, it would be well within my rights to arm myself and be prepared. You're probably also assuming that these two are married ... but one of the lines in the song implies this place, where she is, is her own home and that this is her boyfriend, not her husband. So, by that logic: He's breaking into her home when she clearly does not want him there and he does not have permission to be there... and he's doing it with the intent to do her bodily harm. Once again: Self-defense. |
