I hope you weren't justifying such acts on the part of a woman. It's one thing to [legitimately IMO of course) vilify the abuser but quite another to try and justify capital punishment at the hands of the spouse. There are helplines (which can only offer little comfort admittedly) and shelters, which can be a halfway place. The solution you seem to think is 'understandable' (?!), cannot be so.

I wasn't justifying anything. I said that I found this statement ignorant because it reflects a complete lack of understanding of the dynamics of an abusive relationship,
i.e., it implies that leaving is easy:
Also . .. If its bad, leave. If you don't leave, I am not going to sympathize with you if you kill your husband or contract his death, it takes less effort to leave.
I said that it is often not easy to leave an abusive relationship, not that killing anyone is understandable. Where exactly did you get that from what I said?
