Original incident: November 17, 2023. A domestic abuser with a no-contact order makes contact and starts to abuse her. The Great Equalizer ended the abuse.
We had neighbors once who were like this -- he was an abuser and she finally moved out, across town, got a restraining order. Sadly, he found her new home and -- since criminals do so well at obeying the law -- entered it and shot her to death. I wish she'd had her own protection . . . Good for this woman for taking care of herself.
Yes, it is. I think restraining orders should be given, so someone can be prosecuted if they are merely harassing another person. But in instances of domestic abuse, they are useless. Why do we expect someone who is willing to beat a woman up to leave her alone because of a piece of paper? Someone in that situation needs _real_ protection.

I'm sorry for your neighbor.
There are probably 20 instances of women (or others -- relatives, bystanders, whatever) defending themselves in the calendar. It's a real problem.
