Pre-ONT seriously? WTF?!?

Mother beats baby in womb with hammer to show how tough the kid is

...Heather Thorpe, 24, was filmed by her former partner, Sean Hanlon, striking herself with the claw hammer around a month before giving birth to her son, Jonathon.
But when Mr Hanlon, 26, showed the video to police, officers refused to press charges, insisting no offence had been committed.
Yesterday Mr Hanlon said he was appalled at the decision, adding: "If there was a film of someone hitting a baby with a hammer they would be in handcuffs in 10 seconds flat." Mr Hanlon shot the five-second video in the couple's living room in October last year, just weeks before Miss Thorpe's due date...

I'm sure the tyke will come out like a freaking Spartan now, right?

4 "If there was a film of someone hitting a baby with a hammer they would be in handcuffs in 10 seconds flat."

Or hitting a baby dog. Or a pregnant dog. Or a pregnant cat, even.

7 May I ask why he was filming her with the hammer instead of preventing it?

8 Gotta be honest, if it's legal for a woman to choose to have an abortion, I'm not sure how it should be any less legal for her to hit her pregnant self in the stomach...

19 I once had a friend that took a hammer to his scrotum to show how "tough" he was. He turned his life around and now sings soprano in the Church Choir, and saves bundles on razor blades as he no longer needs to shave.

I'm hoping it comes out like the Alien. Right through her chest.

21 This takes Beta Male to new lows. Doesn't stop 'partner' from hitting 'his' unborn git with claw hammer. Films it instead. Runs to cops with film, asks THEM to arrest 'partner'/baby mama. Cops refuse. Baby Mama is now 'former' partner. Beta Male puts out his humiliating story (Twitter?Facebook?), makes the blogosphere sneer with contempt. And women wonder where all the Good Men have gone. Claw Hammer Baby eligible to vote for Chelsea Clinton's 2nd Term just 17.5 years from now.

22 If he had tried to stop her he would have gotten a massive jail term for "assaulting" a pregnant woman. Probably a much worse jail term than if he had assaulted her with the hammer himself just for kicks.
