I know what you guys are sayin and have been there done that as well but, the reality of it all is that while we all admit to our babes acting out with violence who's ever even thought of reporting such acts, much less have done so?

As one charged and convicted of an act of domestic violence I did not commit, having been drug through 3yrs of legal BS over it (and over $7k out of pocket), met many other men who were also in a similar situation in the course of taking the requisite Anger Management course, then the fucking Alcohol and Drug Awareness course I also was required to take (even though neither drugs nor alcohol were part of the case).

The courts/laws/and indeed all facets of the legal system treat white males as plagues upon society whose only redeeming quality is that they have a pocket ready to be picked.

I bet many of us are aware of guys so far behind in their child support that it's truly shameful, and just as surely many of us know how they seemingly get away with this endlessly.

I could go into a long diatribe that could stretch on for pages here but let me just say that as a white working and available father I was drug into court over what was initially a $300 arrearage that was actually paid before the court date and still got a $500 fine + a $1500 "fee" from the other attorney (which I was told if I did not make an agreement for repayment satisfactory to that attorney THAT DAY I would be thrown in jail), 6 months of supervised probation at $50 a month and 100hrs of Community Service, for a crime that did not even exist.

In trying to make my case in court and asking questions of the other attorney the judge stopped me midsentence and asked "Mr. Steele, are you stupid, or just hard of hearing?". My response was "No your honor, I am neither." after which I just shut the fuck up 'cause it was all too obvious what was gonna happen otherwise

The judge did at least have the decency to ask if I had anything to say before passing his judgement on me in this case. I replied "Yes your honor, I do. While I agree there was an arrearage in this case in the amount stated, that amount has been paid in full before todays date. Secondly, if any of the fines, fees and such I am to be held liable for from this courts actions today were to be paid towards anything benefitting my child I would do so willingly, but the fact is not one dime of what I'll be paying will go to her betterment, and that's pretty sad."
