So. Carolina – An Horry County police detective was jailed early Monday on charges of criminal domestic violence after he argued with his girlfriend about their plans for a Super Bowl party, according to authorities. John David Gonska, 39, of Myrtle Beach, was booked into J. Reuben Long Detention Center at 12:12 a.m. Monday on a charge of first-offense criminal domestic violence… Horry County police were called to Gonska’s home about 10:30 p.m. Sunday for a domestic violence complaint. A 31-year-old woman, who is Gonska’s girlfriend, told officers that they were watching a football game on television when they started to argue about Super Bowl party plans. The woman, in a relationship with Gonska for 11 months, told officers that Gonska got aggressive with her when she tried to grab a beer from his hand, according to the police report. The woman said Gonska hurt her thumb when he grabbed her. The victim said Gonska walked into a nearby bathroom and they continued to argue when she followed him, according to the report. The woman said Gonska charged toward her, choked her and hit her in the face… Gonska told officers the woman scratched his arm. Both refused medical treatment.

As I’ve said before, I don’t get the whole domestic violence thing.  I didn’t grow up around it, never witnessed it, never even been tempted to do it.  I’ve always been a firm believer that no one should ever hit a girl unless it’s another girl, and even then only if it turns into playful sexual hijinks.

So with that disclaimer out of the way, John David Gonska’s girlfriend was 150% at fault in this one.  If ever there was a case of someone asking for it, this was it.  What further proof do you need than that she couldn’t even wait until the Championship Games were over before she had to throw out the first pitch of  Super Bowl-Related Argument Season?  Most women usually wait until at 3-4 days before Super Sunday before they start complaining about where you’re watching the game or saying your friends are jerks or reminding you how you got too drunk the year before.  And proper etiquette says that should at least wait until the ride home from your friend’s house before the nagging begins.  And besides, there’s no faster way to ask for a slap in the head than to rip a beer out of a guy’s hand on NFL Sunday.  It’s like trying to drag a seal carcass away from a polar bear.  But the real issue here is women getting involved in making Super Bowl party plans in the first place.  Is is too much to ask that we get one friggin day out of the year where we don’t have to be answerable to the wives?  Is it just not possible for the Gonska girlfriends of the world to just stay home and watch the Puppy Bowl or the made-for-TV cheating husband movie marathon on Lifetime?  For once I’d have to say this is one domestic violence story where the chick got what was coming to her. @jerrythornton1
