Why Does It HAPPEN?!?
I dunno … is it just me, or is anybody else out there sick and tired of the abusive perps in our community gettin’ away with their crimes?
Obviously, I’m talkin’ about the Observer article, where another impulsive idiot (who thought himself the “owner” of his girlfriend) shot her and her sister. Fortunately, and as of this writing, it looks as if the two ladies will pull through.
But it brings up three questions:
- Why was this jerk released from jail in the first place? If he was in there for DV, wouldn’t it have at least made sense to have him monitored when he left?
- Why are abusers (especially male, though there are female abusers, too! Trust me … I’ve been through that …) let off with a slap on the wrist? Don’t the courts realize that abuse isn’t just a “one-time thing”? It becomes an enjoyable habit with these perps … they love the feeling of power — especially over an innocent victim. Hey … IT’S ASSAULT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE!! ASSAULT THAT CAN LEAD TO MURDER! They’ve gotta treat it as such …
- Why is it so easy for abusers to hide from police when they’ve committed the crime? These idiots are yellow-bellied COWARDS who only want to control whatever is weak. They can’t handle the strong … they can’t handle the responsibility of facing up to what they did, especially in front of anyone bigger or smarter than them!
It’s a true shame … and it doesn’t just happen in the Queen City, either! It’s across-the-board, coast-to-coast … and, sadly, often the courts are just as responsible for the outcome as the perps themselves!
Okay … so what are the signs of abuse? Listen …
If YOU’RE in a questionable relationship; if YOUR partner is exhibiting any of the following signs; if HE or SHE won’t seek partners counseling with you … then you’d better think twice about stayin’ with that person!
Study this wheel closely:
If ya wanna make a copy of it, go to http://crisis-support.org/images/whatdom.gif. For more information on abuse, PLEASE go to this page, okay?? It’s a tremendous help …Let’s hope they catch the jerk who shot the two sisters. And, this time, maybe park him behind bars for GOOD!
