Can you believe his crap. If only the piece of paper was on the streets.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is wrong with these people? Are we so caught up on blaming objects and other people that we can't see when a person is doing evil deeds?

Funny, considering what happened to Jessica Gonzales in the lawsuit Castle Rock v Gonzales. The police refused/ignored her requests to enforce an existing restraining order to not approach her or her four children. This resulted in the murder of 3 of her children, and a "suicide by police" of the husband.

The US Supreme Court ruled, basically, the police have no duty to enforce the restraining order, and thus no duty protect her. The court found that state law did not entitle the holder of a restraining order to any specific mandatory action by the police. Instead, restraining orders only provide grounds for arresting the subject of the order.

You can find lots of other sources, but here is the Wiki article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_of_Castle_Rock_v._Gonzales

If you need to get a restraining order against someone then you better go get a gun and some training to go along with it.

A piece of paper doesn't protect anything other then you going to jail for shooting the person breaking the restraining order.

Because we know murders and criminal lowlifes follow the law.

At least we know that there is someone in Mass. with a little sense......

Even if the order had been served on Gonzalez, several advocates for domestic violence victims said the attack on Santos may have still happened.

"Even if he was served, it doesn't mean he was going to stay away," said Jon Tiplady, a former Danvers police lieutenant who educates officers about domestic violence. "When somebody is set on doing something, they're going to do it."
