Question ...

Why is it, when a woman gets an order of protection against a man, it's like signing her death warrant?

We had another woman on Long Island killed by a former lover yesterday. Somehow, our authorities are misunderstanding a key word in the phrase "order of protection". It's become painfully obvious the only thing the cops will do is put up yellow tape around the place where they found your body.

Ladies, if you fear for your life after dumping some abusive asshole, buy a gun. Seriously. Take out an order of protection and then buy a gun and learn how to use it, proficiently. If the motherfucker comes back, kill him and deal with the consequences later. It's not worth your life, and the lives of your kids, to wait for the cops to come when your ex shows up with murder on his mind.
