Cracka billies getting more violent


Gun sales reach a record high, advocates also worry incidents of violence will worsen. Last week, a man who lost his job due to COVID-19 shot his girlfriend and killed himself in a Pennsylvania town, under a shelter-in-place order, CNN reported. "Domestic violence is rooted in power and control, and all of us are feeling a loss of power and control right now," Katie Ray-Jones told CNN, the CEO of the National Domestic Violence Hotline. "We're really bracing for a spike post-COVID-19—that's when law enforcement and advocates and courts are going to hear the really, really scary stuff going on behind closed doors.” Twenty metropolitan police departments provided data to CNN with nine reporting a double-digit percentage increase in cases in March compared to previous year data.
