The woman made an error in judgement.
I applaude her for packing though, since here in Maine, woman who have taken out protection for abuse orders are OFTEN killed by the cretins they're trying to get away from.
A couple years back, one women who had returned to her former home with TWO POLICE ESCORTS was shot to death by the man she'd been trying to escape.
Yeah, that's right.
While these so-called cops stood around good old boying in sympathy with the guy that the woman had taken a court order out because he'd been beating her, that woman was SHOT right in front of their eyes.
So can you really BLAME that woman for taking steps NOT to victimized?
I can't.
Cops are often worthless when it comes to domestic violence.
They're often WORSE than worthless, since they're often are sympathetic to the men involved and assume that the woman is just being hysterical.
That attitude is changing, but not rapidly enough to suit me.
We don't even have cops in my town after dark....i suppose they are on call???
state troopers do night duty i suppose, but they never make it around here that i know of....
In other words, she really would not have much protection without packing herself...again, i would not have brought it in to the school, not exposed like that, the car would have been a better spot, while picking up the kids, but FEAR played a role in her not thinking straight.
Hopefully the court will have mercy on her, with her circumstances taken in to consideration.
Ed and Divecon,
Did you hear about the woman last week in Belfast that killed her husband, who supposedly was abusing her?
TURNS OUT he was a neonazi, white supremecist who had all kinds of chemicals to make bombs and in vials he had nuclear waste, radio active nuclear waste.
I MISSED THIS ALTOGETHER on any local news....caught it on one of the 24/7 news channels 2 days ago!!! no one else has reported on it that i know of....?
Did EITHER YOU or Divecon hear anything about this home grown terrorist, amongst us in Belfast? The guy was a transplant from California, did not work, lived off of a huge inheritance from his father, who was also murdered....supposedly not related to the sons murder...but still!!!
He probably came here because we are a "mind your own business" type state....
This guy could have been the next timothy mcveigh and i DOUBT he was working alone!
Full blooded, American grown, terrorist, right among us!
care
Yes, I heard of it the following day.
The question I keep asking myself, given that he already had low level radioactive material, is has he already spread any of it about?
The stuff he had DOES cause lung cancer if you get it into your lungs.
Of course, it might that cancer take a few years to manifest, but apparently its inevitable that you will get it.
If he was a NAZI, I could very easily see at least a few public targets for this sort of covert poisoning. The Belfast Coop, for example, might be just the kind of place since it is overrun with aging boomers who imagine themselves to be of the hip tribe.
I say ,imagine themselves, because most of the are really check chashing trustifarians and about as different from true hipdom as I think one can get.
But to the eye of the uniformed about what hipdom really is, those people would make ideal targets for covert poisoning by radioactive agents like he had in his possession.
I wonder if anyone is investigating whether or not the man has already been spreading his poison?
Frankly, I doubt it.
That would require imagination that I think our local posses do not have in great abundance.
We'll know, I suppose, a few years from now when there's an inexplicable epidemic of lung cancer around these parts.
I don't know this guy, but then I maintain an extremely low profile, nowadays, so I know less and less people
in real life every year.
The better I know people, the more I like my dog.
