this is great,but i have to say if the laws were more strict on these creaps that do the violence i think there wouldn't be as much. I saw a woman who was beaten by the dude 2 times and she wouldn't testify so he walks. The law need to put these creaps away especially when they have other witnesses and evidence to prove it.
