ORIGINAL: Hillwilliam Where did I say he was in jail for a violent act against her? FFS, it's only one sentence. There are dozens of reasons someone might wish to kill another person upon release. As for restraining orders, I hope you're aware they're not worth the paper they're witten on when it comes to saving lives. Police response? Gimme a freaking break. I once had a bullet come thru my front window in miami. I killed the inside lights, hit the outside spots loaded up and called 911. FORTY-FIVE MINUTES LATER, someone shows up that isn't even fucking armed. I was going to show her the bullet hole and she freaked out and refused to go near because there was a spider web. Yeah, that'll protect me. Yes, there are dozens of reasons, however, it's very rare that the person who isn't incarcerated is unaware of the threat against them, so they have more than enough time to prepare, and that was my point. I am well aware of the use of restraining orders, although they are taken a bit more seriously up north apparently, but they also are doled out to every domestic incident in the trailer park either. I knew I hated Miami for a reason. Here, we get a police response in less than 5 minutes, and to be honest, that's one of the reasons I prefer living in the country as opposed to in the city.
