Lawful provocation?
Proof that provocation should remain part of the law. A woman is charged after stabbing her partner with scissors because....
was it the studio version or the live in Las Vegas version? was it through really crappy speakers? was the Volume an issue? was the Victim using the song's theme to press a point on the Defendant? was the Victim singing along with the rekkid? Should the journalist have attributed the Composer of the song? Until we know all the facts, we cannot possibly judge this.
Well I live with a person who has spent his annual leave making mashups, this involves playing back the same fragment of something intensely annoying (Plastic Bertrand, Beastie Boys, Mariah Carey, Dr Hook etc) at high volume, over and over, for several days.
Sheesh. Love that song, and been known to hit the repeat button.
ReplyDeleteHope cs doesn't find this or predictable mayhem will ensue.
Excellent journalism, also. Fill up half the article with the lyrics of the song. As if it was really relevant.
ReplyDeleteSounds like she has a reasonable defence in my opinion.

ReplyDeleteBest go hide the scissors now
Every New Year's Eve for nearly 30 years, the Blight played his bagpipe records and watched the Edinburgh Tattoo.
ReplyDeleteThe first year he left, I stabbed them with a geologist's pick but I know some are still hiding in the dark somewhere.
'The Blight'... if you have written a post on why he is called this, feel free to leave a link here, i'm curious.
ReplyDeleteWill go dig through your archive when I get a free moment...
A play on words, he was the (B)light of my life.
ReplyDeleteHe played bagpipe records on New Year's Eve.
ReplyDeleteJanteh, that is very funny. And I mean it.
