Violent femme gets noticed under "Entertainment"

	posted by Matt on 05:53 PM June 9th, 2004
	Not unlike men getting murdered by women showing up under "Oddly Enough", I have come to expect this sort of thing from Yahoo! News. The (in)famous Courtney Love, high on coke and who knows what else, attacks another woman with a deadly weapon, and it is reported as "Entertainment". You know, I can't help but think that if the victim were male, it would not even have made it into the paper much less get the attention of the law.

	Get this from the piece: Love was not in custody, and it was unclear whether she had been served with the warrant. She has been charged in three additional cases, including two that occurred hours apart in October. Those other cases, the article notes, included an attempted break-in into a former boyfriend's house. Yet, she remains out of jail and out on bail, as they say. Doubt she'll do real time for any of this.

Previous incidents (Score:0) by Anonymous User on 08:23 PM June 9th, 2004 EST (#1) In one previous incident, Love threw a microphone into a crowd during a performance and a 24-year-old man was injured. Although Love was charged, it is not said that she was actually punished. The action was not deliberate, but that does not mean it was sensible either. The Web site thesmokinggun.com has documents describing a domestic violence incident with Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain. It sounds like there was an argument (see the second page) and that Love threw juice in Cobain's face before they both ended up attacking each other. Love's arms were scratched and she claimed that Cobain had done this. However, she instead claimed that she injured her own arms once Cobain was obviously going to be arrested. Not surprisingly, perhaps, Cobain was arrested as the "primary aggressor" in the incident. Eventually, no charges were filed.

(Did investigators even BOTHER to look at Love as a POSSIBLE suspect?)   Thundercloud.   "Hoka hey!" A member of the outlaw gender.
