A disturbing video showed a couple in a heated fight, where the woman attempted to force her husband out of the house and eventually picked up a knife to threaten him. While many rightfully condemned her action, one comment tried to justify it, saying: “He is recording what she did wrong. Let him record what he did to her too. You can’t tell a person when to react when you hurt them.”
Comments like this are dangerous. No matter the argument, introducing a weapon is never an acceptable “reaction.” Normalizing violent retaliation under the excuse of being “triggered” only fuels more harm. Accountability doesn’t disappear because emotions are high. If someone feels hurt, the healthy response is to walk away, not escalate to life-threatening behavior.
Violence is not a coping mechanism.
