Topeka, Kansas, gets it right!!

[HTannor]

The truly inspired city council of Topeka, Kansas, has finally recognized that the bible has it right by decriminalizing "spousal" abuse.

We all know what that means: "Spousal" means women, and the Godly husbands in that community can now inflict proper punishment on their wives when the women get uppity, refuse to bake pies, clean the toilets in a Godly Fashion, or just, in general, get out of line.

I salute Topeka for "Getting it Right!"

While this is a step toward our living our lives as the Bible dictates one small thing bothered me.

On Tuesday night, the city council of Topeka repealed the local law that lists domestic violence as a crime, in turn making any actions that would have previously necessitated police involvement a matter of the state of Kansas, who the council says must rely on the county to enforce the charges. The county district attorney, however, has already stopped prosecuting would-be criminals citing budget shortfalls of their own......

Should the county go back to prosecuting cases on behalf of the city, it would cost around $800,000 a year to hire the staff and rent jail space for only the newest caseload, Councilwoman Karen Hiller says. Dan Stanley, interim city manager of Topeka, says it would cost the city around $1 million to pay for the prosecutions itself.

Will the City of Freehold lose this same State revenue if we were to be able to follow Topeka's lead? And if so, whose budget would it affect?

A valid question, Brother BAD, and somewhat troubling.

I have previously posted about how Mayor Hold's budget cutting plan has impacted the Court.

I, myself, prefer leniency when charges are brought against True Christian™ brothers when they administer discipline against recalcitrant spouses, however these budget cuts could force a change of venue and the cases could end up in the socio-commie courts in Des Moines.

I believe the Good Brothers should petition the Mayor to restore funding so I could properly adjudicate the cases.

I would hate to see an "Occupy Freehold" insurrection take hold in our fair city. Just saying..............

This was an interesting development in a town that hosts one of the more genetically challenged churches in the country.

I would not be surprised, actually, to find out that the majority of the city council actively participates in said church. For the best perhaps since their severely inbred genetic lines will eventually die out from the ensuing severe mutations.
