Paging Amanda Marcotte. Paging the Feminazis. Dangerous Domestic Violence caused by the Patriarchy

Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner and her fiancee, fellow WNBA player Glory Johnson, were arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct after an argument in the home they recently purchased together became physical.

The two 24-year-olds were each arrested Wednesday on counts of assault by recklessly causing physical injuries and disorderly conduct for fighting. They were booked into the Maricopa County Jail in downtown Phoenix and later released.

Agents for the players did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday.

Griner told police that she and Johnson had been arguing every day and got into each other's faces Wednesday afternoon in the home they had bought two days earlier after Johnson said Griner "disrespected" her, according to a police report.

Johnson told police Griner had gotten too close, so she pushed her back to get some separation and began talking to her sister, Judy Johnson, when she was pushed in the back of the head by Griner. Glory Johnson turned around and the physical altercation began, with both fighting on the floor for 4 to 6 minutes. The entire episode lasted about 20 minutes, according to the report.

Griner had a laceration on her right wrist and a tooth mark on the middle finger of her right hand after it ended up in Johnson's mouth, according to the police report.

Johnson, who plays for the Tulsa Shock, had a cut on her lip and Julio Trejo, a friend of Griner's, had a cut on his neck after trying to break up the fight. All three declined medical attention.

Griner also said she broke a dog bowl after throwing it against a wall during the argument.

...
Griner told police the fight was caused be weeks of stress, including buying a house, planning a wedding and their relationship. The pair announced their engagement late last summer and expected to get married next month.

You mean girls will be girls, right? You probably knew that, but I think thunderlips11 was being too subtle (as always :)) in letting the reader figure out the irony of two women both being carted off to jail, for domestic violence perpetrated on each other.

Just goes to show that when there is not a man involved (or if there are two men involved), the police does not have an easy time deciding who to blame and arrest for domestic violence. And observing that particular fact will be one of the greatest benefits of same-sex marriage, for men contemplating opposite-sex marriages. Just make sure you marry a woman that is the same height and weight as you.

Brittney Griner

Griner, 31, faces up to 10 years in prison under the charge.

According to CNN, “Griner’s plea came on the second day of her trial, which began last week, when a prosecutor accused her of smuggling less than a gram of cannabis oil in her luggage.

“According to state media agency TASS, prosecutors argue Griner intended to import the drugs into Russia’s territory and put the prohibited substances into a backpack and a suitcase.”

I have to admit that is a bullshit charge against her. A little bit of cannabis oil is far less dangerous than say, a bottle of vodka. You can kill yourself with the vodka, but not with the cannabis oil.

She should try it in Indonesia next time.
