He said that he took her phone so she couldn’t call for help. I’m absolutely sure he was going to kill her.

She shot what was available. I’m sure if she could see the nads, she’d have aimed for ‘em.

I read this story several years ago about a woman who came home to find her dog choking/not acting well at all, she rushed it to the vet and an x-ray showed human fingers inside the dog...she called the cops and they found the intruder still hiding in a closet in fear missing a few fingers the dog had bitten off.…

I have smaller dogs, but you’d be surprised at their tenacity. My younger dog is a rescue and was abused as a pup by the scumbags who owned him (who happily gave him up at 9 mos). He is truly an anxious guy, but sweet as can be. He is afraid of men. I had a guy come in to fix my window and forgot to put him in the…

Possibly, it was only his foot sticking out from under the bed.

True! Great security + endless source of amusement and affection = perfect roommates.

And they’re likely sweet to you because they care about you. If you were in danger they would act accordingly. My sisters dog probably weighs five pounds and loves me to death, but even he snapped at me when I jokingly hit her. Shocked everyone.

I concur. A woman who can prove she’s being stalked by an ex with a history of being a shithead seems a pretty cut-and-dried example of somebody who, if she can pass the checks herself, has use for a gun. She even used it to non-fatally wound and then hold him until backup arrived, which is more than many…

Big dogs are great security. It could be the sweetest, dopiest dog in the world but just the sight of a big dog will deter a lot of garden variety scumbags.

Yep. “Hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries” seems like he got off easy, even with all the other charges filed.

Normally stories like these end so badly.

If we had stricter gun laws this woman would still have been able to get a gun to protect herself. The point of gun control isn’t to take away guns. It’s to make it much more difficult for people who shouldn’t have them to get them. Gun control would also put limits on the types of guns that are available. No one…

If this were a just world, she would be able to sue her ex to pay for the security system she needs thanks to her ex.

Really? His involvement is what makes me think it’s pretty legit.

Another horrible logic I could see from the Trump campaign is their effort to paint Bill Clinton as a sexual predator rather than just the philanderer we all know he’s been. No one has ever been able to show that Bill’s done anything other than have consensual sex outside his marriage, but there have been repeated…

But the thing is, saying, “Well, even if it isn’t true it’s the sort of thing they’d do” is what Hillary has had to put up with for twenty-five years. Benghazi, Vince Foster, crackpipe Christmas decorations, flinging heavy objects at Secret Service people, secret email servers that leaked information to China,…

Honestly, what jumped out to me the most in this whole story is that the lawyer that eventually took her case is a patent lawyer. That’s like...getting a gynecologist to do your spine surgery. I mean, yeah, they’re both doctors, but the level of specialization is pretty intense. It’s the same with attorneys.

Feelings breakdown:

Even if this story isn’t true, this man (a man who on several occasions waxed lyrical about how much he wants to bed his daughter, repeatedly expresses bigoted views about minorities, talks and acts like a neanderthal, among a host of other things) has garnered mass support from Americans. I mean completely setting…

I tend to just wish people would realise that this racist orange asshole would make an awful president.
