Sounds like a healthy response to me
Nov. 11th, 2008 11:04 am"I'm angry," [Jane] Currie said. "Why does he even care? Is his existence so pathetic that he needs to single me out for how I live my life?"
Jane Currie and Anji Dimitriou were outside their children's school in Oshawa Ontario when another parent, 43-year-old Mark Scott, attacked them.
In a crowd of other parents and small children. Including their 6-year-old. Two other parents intervened and Scott has been charged with assault. Reportedly he called them dykes, "men", and lesbians, asking which one had spoken to his kid, while hitting them.
Which leads to wondering why? If he actually has a legitimate problem with something one of them had said to his kid, why not talk with Currie and Dimitriou, or - surprise, surprise - with his kid's teacher or the principal?
By hitting the women he's
Which comes back to this quote: "I'm angry," Currie said. "Why does he even care? Is his existence so pathetic that he needs to single me out for how I live my life?"
His choices. His actions. Lesbians going about their day are not "asking to be beat up". Currie's putting the blame where it belongs.

- Gotten arrested.
- Facing assault charges and possibly hate crimes charges.
- Been issued a “no trespass” order from the school.
- Screwed up his reputation with other parents & teachers.
- Ensured his kid is seen as "the kid with the scary dad".
