Usher on "Media Matters"

Essay here. Excerpt:

'Wiehl’s dangerous position explicitly reveals the in-vivo tragedy of VAWA: Where one’s subjective state of “fear” is the legal standard justifying most any action by a woman (as opposed to a “real threat” standard), there is no telling what women will do (and try get away with). Civil Rights advocates need to wake up on this issue: racist white women can throw high-tech war parties too.

The problem with tasers as a “standard female accessory” is the unconstitutionally-low standard for female behavior established by the Violence Against Women Act. In the VAWA environment, use of a taser to prevent a rape is no different than abuse of a taser for an entirely scurrilous reason. VAWA makes it impossible to discern the difference between the two.'
