A self-described “conservative” man, who is “obsessed with Fox News and the Republican party” was arrested in Florida after trying to strangle his girlfriend. The police report states “he was very conservative and (his girlfriend) was a liberal,” and adds, ”he felt that he was going to have to kill her,” and noted it was his third attempt.
“David A. Kappheim, 60, is being held at the Palm Beach County Jail without bail,” the Palm Berach Post reports:
He was arrested Tuesday and the arresting Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputy placed Kappheim under a Baker Act. Kappheim is facing charges of domestic battery, aggravated assault and criminal mischief.
…
On Saturday, Kappheim showed up at her friend’s house uninvited and “stark naked,” she said, according to the arrest report.
She said he tried strangling her the next day.
The couple lived together but she asked him to move out. On Tuesday, Kappheim asked to borrow her car so he could move his belongings out. The woman said she agreed but asked him to drive her to work first.
Throughout the ride, the woman said Kappheim drove “recklessly.” When she asked him not to kill her, he allegedly responded by laughing out loud. On Wednesday, she called the sheriff’s office for help.

The are some domestic violence offenders among Democrats, we can be sure of that. This victim either did not understand how to escape earlier, or there simply was no means for her to escape. I'm glad he's being held without bail, something I don't say lightly.
There had to have been a way for her to get away from him. She apparently had a car and a [temporary] place to live at the time. I don't know why it took 3 times for her to finally say "Uhh…this probably isn't the BEST relationship!"
You shouldn't make any assumptions or judgments until you know for sure exactly what the victim was being subjected to. Many perpetrators use the tactic of telling victims that if they tell people what's going on, and/or if they try to escape, they will kill them. And in fact, most domestic violence murders happen after the victim has told the perpetrator that the relationship is over.
Because shaming victims of abuse and potential homicide totally makes the rate of abuse and homicide go down. Get it together, victims!
Heterosexual men are so violent and have dirty habits. Do you think a gay man would have this kind of filth in his back yard? http://name-of-the-law.blogspot.com/
