source: http://MediaMatters.org
Fox News 'The Five' co-host Dana Perino said that women who suffered from domestic violence should “make better decisions” on Wednesday (video below).
'The Five' co-hosts were discussing the murder-suicide NFL football player Jovan Belcher and his girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, reports MediaMatters.org.
Co-host Bob Beckel asked: “Can you name me one person you know that saved their lives by a handgun?”
Perino answered: “Bob, I think that skirts the issue that women are victims of violence all the time."
Co-host Greg Gutfeld added: “Should have guns."
Perino then said: “Or maybe make better decisions."

Wait until you have been there before you spout !
I was the recipient of the male violence syndrome - what do you do when you have 4 small children and nowhere to go ? - you try and work thru it and hope things will improve - eventually I did get out, but it is NOT easy to make a break - wait until you know what you are talking about before you pass judgement ! - 5 months ago

Something they do very well over at Fox News. This was a callous comment, but almost expected as in consider the source.
