Domestic Abuse in Red Hook Turns Deadly
A Red Hook man is hospitalized with serious stab wounds after his wife was found strangled to death in their Brooklyn home. It's a domestic abuse case that reportedly tilts in the opposite direction of most. Patrick Sculley (aged 60) and his wife (aged 50) had what neighbors described as a combative marriage, with frequent public fights. Neighbors told WNBC News that they saw Pamela hit her husband repeatedly with a baseball bat and kick him recently.
Patrick Scully is currently in critical condition at Lutheran Medical Center with stab wounds to his arms and chest. Police say that the wounds were self inflicted, and there are conflicting accounts over whether Pamela Scully was stabbed in the neck or strangled. NY1 reports that cops think Patrick stabbed Pamela in the neck before trying to take his own life.
"I heard not too long ago that she hit him in the back of the head with a bat, she kicks him in the street, she called him names," one neighbor told NY1. Despite the homicide, no arrests have been made in Pamela Scully's death. The Mayor's Office to Combat Domestic Violence has information on preventing and escaping it here. It's directory of services is available here.

love hurts
i'm sorry i can't resist
Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds, and mars any heart
Not tough or stong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud, holds a lot of rain
Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts
Im young , I know, but even so
I know a thing or two, and I learned from you
I really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a flame, it burns you when its hot
Love hurts......ooh, ooh love hurts
Some fools think of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
Theyre not foolin me
I know it isnt true ,i know it isnt true
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue
Love hurts......
Ooh, ooh love hurts,ooh, ooh love hurts
I know it isnt true, I know it isnt true
Love is just a lie,made to make you blue
Love hurts......
Ooh, ooh love hurts, ooh, ooh love hurts
You're cartoon is wildly inappropriate. These are human beings your talking about, correct?
That's not really a cartoon, which connotes a humorous depiction. That illustration was taken from a domestic abuse web site.
