Man Kills Wife Over Internet Porn

from the maybe-it-is-dangerous... dept

For all of the stories about how "dangerous" internet pornography is, here's the first story I can remember hearing about that directly links the two... It seems that an Army lieutenant colonel killed his wife after she became angry at him for looking at internet porn. While clearly I'm joking a bit about this being a "link" between online porn and violence, I wouldn't be surprised to see anti-porn crusaders use this as an example of the dangers of porn.

  • More to do with War than Porn

    This fine example of America's modern military official throttled his wife with a computer cable and beat her to death. And he's not the first. I've heard of numerous murders over the past three months when military men who served on the front lines have returned to the US and killed their wives. It sounds like the more appropriate protesting should come from the anti-military lobbyists.
