Apparently, Topeka is looking to celebrate Domestic Violence Awareness Month by decriminalizing it.

Jezebel:

One county in Kansas has decided to... close a budgetary hole by opening a legal loophole that would pass domestic battery prosecution off to another municipality. In doing so, they've initiated a budgetary standoff that may lead to the city of Topeka completely decriminalizing domestic violence.

That's messed-up enough that I thought it could maybe be some sort of rumor gone awry. But here's the Topeka Capital-Journal reporting on it, and here's a press release from the Kansas Coalition Against Sexual & Domestic Violence. Just, wow. Stay classy, Kansas.
