If it happened to your daughter, your sister, or yourself, would the
perpetrator be merely a "naughty boy?"
Well, in actuality, John did not "choke" Annie. He did not physically hurt
her. He stopped himself in the midst of his anger. In comparison, I have seen
women with black eyes, multiple bruises and broken bones. There is a big
difference here IMO.
KB seemed to be quoting from the actual autobiography, and since
nobody's shown me where he's told an actual lie, I assume the book says
Denver choked the woman.
When did Denver "stopped himself?"
Ten seconds before bruises would have formed?
Twenty seconds?
Half a minute?
For how long may a man lay hands on a woman before you have a problem
with the assault?
Did he threaten her with a "power saw?"
And the absence of a black eye or two, bruises and broken bones means
nothing of import happened?
"Big difference" indeed.

What KB posted about this incident was not a direct quote from the book. Maybe
you should go read the book before you start making comments about what was or
wasn't done or said.
I intend to. Especially since you seem to think threatening someone
with a saw, destroying her furniture and physically assaulting her is
presented in a fashion such that it's just a "naughty boy" sort of
prank. That'd be a good read...
Only I'm waiting for it to show up on the remaindered table at the
local bookstore.

And the food was real good
We had turkey and pistols
Carved out of wood.

I do hope this queer has died since 98.
