Bjorn Svenson
Hardworking thirty-four-year-old Bjorn Svenson had a tough day on the job. His back hurt, his head hurt, and his exhausted legs felt like wet spaghetti. So he was expecting sympathy when he told his wife that he was just too tired to attend a rally with her later that evening. Being the long-suffering male martyr that he was, he insisted she go on by herself. “Just don’t worry about me.”
“She must’ve hit me twenty times before I finally blacked out,” Svenson said later, after regaining consciousness. “I had just finished telling her that I wasn’t going and sat down to take my shoes off. That's when she came up behind me, throwing lefts and rights.” He probably wishes that he had gone to the rally with his wife that night. Badly battered Bjorn suffered multiple injuries from the salvo of fists that rained on him during that surprise assault – a broken nose, a fractured skull, a fractured cheekbone, damage to his cornea, and severe cuts and bruises. The subject of the rally that night was the problem of domestic violence. 1
