Sam1911 challenges each of us to look in the mirror and examine ourselves by asking
When I am called to answer that question before a Judge in a Court of Law and ultimate almighty Judge I will say I did all I could do;
Because I was raised in the Christian faith and believe in the Bible teaching that “I am my brother’s keeper.”
Because as a American citizen I believe in the principles of fair play and that I have a duty as a citizen, as a person of strong moral faith, as a person that has the ability, as person who has the means to help and protect the elderly, the sick, the disabled, the poor, the children and those who are in danger.
Because I spent 23 years working daily with the worst, most violent felons in my State. I heard over and over many times from them how the woman they murdered or beat up deserved everything she got and show no remorse for their actions.
Because these same felons reenter relationships and repeat the cycle of violence when they get out of prison,
Because I know what it is like to lose a parent at a young age and grow up without them.
Because I believe all people have the right to not live in fear.
Because I have the tool(s) at hand to give someone the security to not live in constant free.
Because I have the tool(s) at hand to give someone a advantage over someone that is stronger and bigger than they are.
Because I know the Police can not do anything to prevent someone from hurting or killing you.
Because I know that pieces of paper such as restraining orders are worthless.
Because I don’t believe anyone on THR can honestly say that they will be able to pull the on another human being until they are actually placed in that situation.
Most of all because I believe that the 4,000 women that are killed each year in domestic violence had the right to live.
Some of THR members have reexamined the facts and have the courage to say they changed their minds. I salute each of them.
But I have to join with Sam1911 when he says;
Who the HELL are we to say, "your psychology is inadequate ... take your beating and your rape and hope that'll satisfy him..."?

This is a little horrifying to read here. I'm very, very saddened
