The man should have called the cops and had him arrested for criminal
trespass, assault and harassment.

Criminal charges should be laid against Dunham and Fox should be sued
civilly.

Did any of these Ho's use birth control? Did they take a morning after
pill
if necessary? Did they take an abortion pill if necessary?
If not, then it was their CHOICE to have the kid and is 100% their
responsibilty to sup****t it.

Excellent. Men should not be liable for a female's irresponsibility. And
the
gov't shouldn't be spending tax money (90% paid by men) in sup****ting
****s
and their bastards.

When Dunham gets his face smashed in he won't be so cocky :o)

These *****es get plenty of benefits from the gov't. Let them get a job if
they need more money. They probaly do work "off the books" and not paying
taxes and still get the gov't benefits not to mention money they extort
from
"boyfriends"
Females who get knocked up should be shamed and ostracised as an example
to
the other girls who may follow in her footsteps.

I predict that Dunham will be 6 feet under before long :o)

They can be criminally prosecuted.
