Does Everyone Have The Nerve To Shoot a Gun?

Because he conveniently is gone every time I am in town. Because my sister won't give up the address of where she lives.

I forgot about your sister. I apologize for my comments to you on the other thread on this subject. I would not have made them had I recalled this.

Maybe someday you will recall something you know, and some insensitive comments you made.

Never there when you are in town...

Uh-HUH...how...what's the word...CONVENIENT.

Then why don't you just wait until he comes back?

Don't you care about your niece?

And didn't you JUST say you didn't know your niece's address?

How do you know he's "conveniently gone" if you don't know their address?
 
howey if you aren't going to drag her out of her house I suggest

1) talking to her everyday convincing her to leave. Make her hear it as often as possible.
2) Get others to do the same. She needs to know there are a lot of people out there telling her she needs to break free
3) I would give her a key to your place. Just be like "if at anytime for any reason you need to get away, come to my place at any hour you dont even have to knock"

Finally, you've decided to be the friend you are and not an internet asshole.

I've done all that. More in a minute.
 
Ladies and Gentlemen: I present you the JPP Macho Man Squad!



All of whom share one interesting characteristic.

No respect for women.

Now, Racists X needs to be run off the board for bitch slapping an already abused women.
 
Ok. Now that all the replies are out of the way...

There is a small group of people on this forum who deserve respect for their intelligence and insight into domestic violence, Darla, Rana, Winterborn, Cawacko, Zappa, and Grind in a moment of honesty...

Congratulations. You know the dangers of domestic violence and are mature enough to know that all I can do is help and be there for my friend. I've cajoled the police, State Attorney's Office, and others to do something. She knows we are here for her 24/7. I've offered my home to her (she's had a key), I've offered her money to get out, I've cried with her, I've prayed with her, I've got drunk with her, and above all - I'VE LISTENED TO HER. I've let her know she's not a bad person, I've let her know there's options out there and I've given her phone numbers for those options.

There are literally millions of women in this country in the same situation. And yes, for some reason, they still love the man. I'm not going to judge them, and nobody should. Love is a strange thing. It's hard for a woman to pack up everything and just go...ending a life they've known for years, often having to live in a group home with counseling.

They're just as scared of the future as they are the past; and the present.

We can all say we'll do this or that or kick his ass, or kidnap her, or a million other things out of stupidity, or rage; but none of that is a reasonable, adult, mature response. Trust me...every time this happens I have to hold jb back.

I've spoken to the Police again, and while their hands are tied, they know the situation and I'm confident the asshole will be jailed soon. All I can do until then is pray and care.

For those of you who've provided support, thanks. The others? Get help. And education. Your ignorance is as scary as a dangerous man.

Here's a start.

Best of luck to her and you, it is not easy. It is as frustrating as a mentally ill friend or family member who needs help.

No worries. As for my recalling something, I am man... I no apologize. ;)
 
damn I just made the cut of howeys list of good posters in the nick of time. quite the accomplishment since he groaned me at least 4+ times in this thread as well :)
 
Howey... If you want people to treat you with respect, you should not begin a conversation with an attack. Second, I have been n your shoes. You in turn mocked me and continue to do so because I disagree with you completely on how far a friend or family member should go.

Yes, I came out too hard in my initial post, for that I apologize. I should not have called you a coward simply because I think differently. That said... If you do fear for her life, there is obviously cause... Get her out of there.

Apology accepted.

UPDATE

Apparently I handled this the right way. He was arrested this afternoon. 2nd degree felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

This is amazingly condescending and patronizing toward women. And amazingly the so called feminists on this board think this is just "the tops"

Basically what Howey is saying is that millions of women are helpless and dependent on men. How sexist.

One last note, Howey has basically highlighted how putting your trust in the state is dangerous to your health.

If Howey were half a man, he would exact country justice.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

whereas ILA would be in a jail cell right now. Liberalism wins again. I should be a liberal.
