Edward Furlong is Finally Going to Prison

It would be nice if Furlong were going to prison for one of his numerous arrests for domestic violence but, instead, he's received a 6 month sentence for violating his parole. Technically, this prison sentence is in response to Furlong's violation of a 3 year probation order he received after violating his restraining order against his ex-wife. 

Oddly, Furlong wasn't actually going to receive a jail sentence for the multiple counts of domestic violence he has committed in the last 6 months. His attorney had managed to convince the City Attorney to allow Furlong to enter rehab instead of going to jail for violating his parole and two counts of assault; that whole a-different-set-of-rules-for-rich-white-dudes thing. 

Furlong has multiple arrests for domestic violence. He's has at least two restraining orders taken out on him. He's been sent to rehab several times. He has lost unsupervised access to his son due to his drug addiction but instead of taking his history of violence seriously, Furlong's been allowed to continue to live free and keep assaulting women.

He may need treatment for drug addiction but his ex-partners deserve to live without fear of him violating their restraining orders. Again. Or, assaulting them again.

When, precisely are we going to start taking domestic violence serious as a crime?
