Do it. Start a foundation. More people feel this way. You have the experience (your own and your friend’s), get this show on the road. This shit is important.

And I wish the NRA would side with DV and murder victims and say “You know, we want to stop crime too. 2nd Amendment rights are for responsible citizens and we just cannot have this bloodshed continue.” But I wallow in a pipe dream world.

I am so sorry you went through that and I am so happy you got away. And I agree with you that we need more funding and a better support system and resources. Off to Google I go.

Yep. I was super lucky like this, too. I had a pretty decently paying job. I secretly found another apartment to rent and pretended I was interested in fixing things (told him he had to come up with some ways he would actively work to change and he had 3 weeks to figure it out. He actually made it even easier for me…

Yes... And Why aren’t more domestic violence calls ending in psych holds? It’s something that is legally viable, no one’s rights are abused, an abused partner is given that 72 hours to determine if she/he wants to leave. It also gets them away from the guns. If we won’t take the guns away from them.

Sure, cause a man who breaks the law multiple times murdering his own children would be stopped by the magic piece of paper that is a restraining order. Good of you to blame her for his actions though. Violent men should always be shielded from personal responsibility, right?

We’d have the sentence “violated protective order” added into the story. She likely declined the order as she thought it would further aggravate the spouse.

It will never happen, but when the police are called to a domestic dispute, they should remove any and all firearms from the house, every time, regardless of whether someone is arrested. You should have to apply to get them back, and have your spouse sign that application.

So a man with a history of “domestic disputes” severe enough to warrant the police having to attend was legally able to obtain a gun with which to kill his wife. That’s an odd interpretation of a well regulated militia.

Who could blame her? He’s FINE!

Proceed then!

Pedroso came back to their hotel room and found Oliveira there with another Olympic hard body, canoeist Pedro Goncalves.

More because he cracks me up

Boyfriend does this, tampered down from his original line “How you doin’?” Which I quickly killed. I sent him this post this ensued.

Yeah, I know. If Anna or Kara or Maddie or.......anybody else goes, I'ma lose my shit.

feels like when my parents divorced but told us kids that everything would essentially stay the same

I also suspect that some writers might have to take a pay cut? I think Jezebel will be fine all in all but we might have to say goodbye to a lot of our faves... If Bobby or Anna leave... Or Kara... No no no no no....

Oh goddammit.

Good luck and congrats on the baby.

I want to crowdsource a question I have about chelsea’s “process.”
