Yup, read it. And after reading all the comments on this thread, it is clear that police cannot possibly protect everyone from criminals. In this case, since the murderer had a restrainng order against him which he repeatedly violated, and threatened violence, it seems reasonable to think the cops could have done something.
The cops cars around Souter's house is disgusting example of "them" and "us" different treatments.
One reason the cops can't protect people is the (I'm shouting now) EFFING COURTS AND THE ACLU ARE SCREWING US EVERY WHICH WAY AND EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK. Criminals' have more rights than the victims they plunder, torment and kill. The death penalty needs to be brought back, public caning should be implemented, and the crime rate would plummet.
And, concealed and open carry in every state.
Not in this country. If that's your style, there are plenty of countries in Asia and the Indian sub-continent that would be more to your liking.
