Sometimes prison is the only answer
James Morton, National Post
Published: Monday, February 01, 2010

Holly Ann Peters and a woman, whose name we don't know, were acquaintances. They had had a fight in the past, but seemed to have reconciled their differences until they ran across each other, along with the unnamed woman's boyfriend, at a bar on Mar. 8, 2008. Holly Ann had been drinking and took offence at something the unnamed woman said. Holly Ann pushed her. The scuffle escalated and the boyfriend intervened to attempt to separate the pair. While he was doing so, Holly Ann lunged past him and swung the beer bottle she was holding at the woman's head, breaking the bottle with the blow. She then followed through on her swing in a downward motion with the broken bottle, causing lacerations to the woman's face that required 21 stitches.

So? Just another, common, bar fight. Sounds more like rehab or anger management might be more appropriate than prison. Possible alocoholism involved here.

yes penlan.Another thing to note amonsgst women who fight women is that they have often been abused by men, but couldn't possibly take it out on the men, but chose another female, or, their kids....
Jail always helps in those instances.

This article was very one-sided and lacking in many important details. There must be a larger issue here, especially if she was charged with assault against her mom. This woman deserves to be punished but perhaps a better place to start would be rehabilitation, counselling, and healing in traditional Aboriginal ways. You didn't mention which nation she is from. Aboriginals had their own ways of dealing with justice before being colonized and many nations are trying to restore these systems. Maybe if she could get back to these ways, her community may inspire her to become whole again. Prison is not always the answer.

To be a upright charitable being is to be enduring a kind of openness to the far-out, an gift to group undeterminable things beyond your own control, that can govern you to be shattered in uncommonly extreme circumstances on which you were not to blame. That says something uncommonly important with the get of the righteous compulsion: that it is based on a trustworthiness in the fitful and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a weed than like a sparkler, something fairly fragile, but whose mere particular attractiveness is inseparable from that fragility.

I don't like the sound of all those lists he's making - it's like taking too innumerable notes at high school; you sense you've achieved something when you haven't.
