Why do you hate women so much?
Bow and arrow incident. Now that I have read the prostitute story, this makes me wonder if this is another incident of a woman making up a story to gain power over a man. No one was hurt. Just another she said and her girlfriend witness said story. If there is no victim then there is no crime. Words are not enough to prove a crime.
