Baltimore County police are currently probing a homicide in the Parkville vicinity following a shooting incident involving a woman on Sunday afternoon.

Video at link.

Before she is shot, she's yelling at him that she has a restraining order against him.

“Forget it Jake, it’s Baltimore”.

Too bad there wasn’t Kevlar coated restraining order. 🤔

[gundog]

So..., the guy’s hard-of-hearing, obviously.

Restraining orders only protect you from people who have no intention of hurting you; otherwise, a restraining order provides as much protection against someone who wants to physically hurt you as a mask does against any respiratory virus (my favorite example of delusion over reality ... although the men-believing-they’re-a-woman-because-they-announce-they’re-a-woman delusion caused by a serious mental illness is coming on fast.)

She should have told him in Baltimore it’s illegal to have a gun.

Or...
With the proper accessories ( such as a reliable handgun) ...
The Restraining Order becomes a “ Hunting License” with a certified abusive spouse stamp.
Unfortunately, there is a specified bag limit.

LOL- Well done!

[Freeleesy]

So sad.

Nothing gets by these guys.

I wonder if this dirt bag will be let out with no bail?

Exactly.

It's not going to stop you from getting killed by somebody who wants to kill you, granted. However, it does provide a means to add on additional charges, resulting in higher penalties, for those who might still violate the order.

It can make things like stalking, harassment, even text messaging unlawful and provide law enforcement with a reason to arrest and charge.

Let's say a person is charged with domestic violence and out on bail awaiting trial (or plea bargain). Dude starts texting, following, harassing victim with a restraining order while out. These violations could be used to add additional charges, enhance penalties or reduce leverage and leniency in the plea process.

It can also turn a "this is my kid too and I'm takin' him for the weekend" from a simple civil-domestic argument to a criminal kidnapping. Cops have documentation and clarity on how to act, rather than getting mixed up in a "he said she said" argument.

So I concede that it won't prevent a murderer from murdering, and may not prevent a black eye or broken arm, it does serve as a tool against those who are trying not to be locked up and may prevent one black eye from becoming many black eyes.

I'd encourage victims of domestic violence to get protection orders as a way to punch back.

Parkville never used to be Baltimore... i grew up there.

evil spreads.

[glennaro]

Excellent points; not in conflict with my own that are, I agree, far more cynical from another perspective. Cheers!

[oil_dude]

Do I even need to look?

[DPMD]

the big killer: Response time.

The big question: Why weren’t social drones from Family Services sent?

Agreed...and I have my own level of cynicism towards how things ACTUALLY work as opposed to how they are SUPPOSED to work.
