| A Des Moines man went to jail Wednesday afternoon for allegedly throwing an onion at his wife. The police report begins: "(The victim) states her husband had been drinking and they got into an argument." James Izzolena, 54, of 3515 Sheridan Ave., was charged with domestic assault causing injury. Police said he became upset with his wife, Nicole Izzolena, 27, and tossed an onion at her, striking her in the back of the head. She told police it made her head hurt. James Izzolena admitted throwing the onion, police said, but he claimed he did not intend to hit her with it. He was being held without bond pending a court appearance today. |

| #5 Gentlemen, based on the snippet here, you can't really tell if he's been busted for domestic violence (or worse) before. My totally uninformed opinion, since I haven't seen Mr Izzolena's rap sheet, is that he may have been a bad boy in the past and it is now catching up with him. |

| #2 Blame just the cops and DA? How about the torte lawyers who establish precedent that prior failures to restrain domestic violence incidents lead to greater bodily harm and death, therefore the city/county must pay x million dollars to the estate? So what's a bureaucratic government going to do other than cover their butts with non-waiverable procedures? You see the same thing with school discipline. Reasonableness went out the window somewhere before a decade ago. The fundamental problem is that there is no perfect. There are trade offs in life. Those trade off more and more are dictated not by your representatives but by your new aristocracy - the judiciary and the lawyer class. Wonder if the founding fathers ever thought that daily life would be set by a powerful wing of the government owned and operated by a select fraternity? |

| #1 Held without bond? That seems rather extreme. Cops and prosecutors in this country are slowly morphing into the gestapo. I remember the good ol' days when you could throw food at your wife with impunity. |
