This just creeps me out.

Does that smell like Stockholm Syndrome to you, too?

1. Being in violation of a restraining order.
2. Being in possession of a firearm while subject to a restraining order.
3. Shooting your wife in the chest.
4. Is "being a douche" a crime? I need a ruling.

So we have three quite obvious crimes here; and the wife wants me to believe that this guy scored an accidental bullseye center-of-mass on her?; 8:15 AM, December 10, 2008

Well, not this, exactly....; 8:54 AM, December 10, 2008

I think the saddest part is that everyone around them is pretty much helpless to stop the inevitable train-wreck.; 9:15 AM, December 10, 2008
Divemedic said...: To be fair, we don't know that she IS an abused spouse. I was accused of abuse by an ex g/f once, and she got a restraining order. Her reason? When we broke up, I quit paying for her cell phone. The judge, in the preliminary hearing ruled that depriving her of communication with her family was domestic violence, because I was using "economic force."

We (my attorney and I) got the judge recused, and I eventually won. It took months and thousands of $$$.

There are many women who use our very strict domestic violence laws as leverage in divorce proceedings and to get revenge on ex-lovers.; 9:23 AM, December 10, 2008

Tam said...: I gotta say that a sucking chest wound counts as "abuse" in my book.; 10:29 AM, December 10, 2008

And one point and time this used to be handled by fathers and brothers...what happened?; 10:48 AM, December 10, 2008

The police can handle this wihtout her cooperation. He was in violation of a protective order and the fact she invited him over don't mean squat. He was in possession of a firearm while under a protective order. This is a Federal crime. Most times I'm for the police minding their own business but this time they can do good.
