5 of the Most Ironic Deaths Ever

I Do DOES NOT mean I Consent
In India, a society deeply rooted in patriarchy, it is not a crime for a man to rape his wife! While campaigners argue time and time against an archaic law that has no place in a modern society, the government has consistently maintained that criminalising marital law could "destabilise" the institution of marriage and that it could be used by women to harass men (Pandey, 2021). Marital rape occurs when the husband believes that he owns his wife's body. Such notion has no place in modern social jurisprudence, yet they still form a fundamental part of it in India.

The Law is a Tricky Thing
I hadn't thought of this case in years. The death occurred in the 1970s and came to light in the early 1990s. I worked for a small law firm that took on filing an Ancillary Probate (a second case filed in another state to dispose of real estate there) for a process server that did work for the firm. The man's name was Doug Foote. We had all seen this man in our corridors, and even spoken with him cordially as he popped in and out of the office either picking up papers to go serve, or bringing back affidavits of return of service for papers he had served.

I could tell already that tonight was going to last forever. There was just something about the way the air was that told me, tonight was not going to be our usual night; and by god was that feeling far too right.

Restaurant work usually isn’t difficult per se, but dealing with customers all day and night takes resilience and patience. Customers come into restaurants with a chip on their shoulder, seemingly assuming restaurant workers are their personal assistants who must do as they say, when they say, or ELSE. Some customers are so angry with life that seeing a pickle on their burger when they SAID no pickles is reason enough to spit, stab, fight, shoot, and kill. Therapy, man. Get in tune with your star player.

mental health care is not always a priority in facilities where prisoners are kept. This can manifest itself when security guards and prison officials are not properly trained, staff do not report incidents, or do not take appropriate action when inmates are at risk of injury.
