The man was already prepared to commit murder. Do you think an additional weapons charge would have prevented him from buying a pistol unlawfully?

On its own,an order of protection is useful only in dealing with a fairly rational person. As protection, it is merely a tool for prosecution, after a crime has been committed. I filed to establish a case for self defense, in the event one of us was brought up on charges. My ex is now serving 80 yrs, but it does not bring back my sweetheart.

Oh, on the topic, the law is completely unconstitutional, as is much of “family law”.

A piece of paper won’t protect anyone.

You mean he had the sense not to be in posession of stolen property.

Sounds like someone doing the best they can under difficult circumstances.

To see how this works: imagine that a law is passed that a man could apply to have his wife’s car impounded, on the grounds that she’s likely (in his opinion) to drive drunk, endangering his kids. And then she has to prove she won’t.

Think the Women’s Lobby would just shrug and let that pass?

Maybe the reason for the upswing in domestic violence is due to the amount of damage one party can deal to the other without anything resembling proof, due to what sexual organs the respective parties possesses.

When one party in a dispute has zero protection under the law… and indeed the courts can be conscripted into being the chief tormenter… then is it any surprise that the party that is powerless under the law does not then rely on the law to resolve disputes?

Respect for the law, like all forms of respect is earned not given. And if your response to people not respecting the law is to make it even more one-sided, then you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

After he threatened to kill me and our infant son, I I took my soon-to-be-ex husband’s gun and bullets, and gave them to my father for safekeeping. And, my father was so stupid as to return them to my ex a few months later, when we were still in very great danger. My own father did not have sense enough to believe me.

I am well aware of the injustice that can come from false accusations, but I most respectfully submit that false accusations do not discharge bullets.

Regards,
Pol
