Guys behind on their child support shoot at the police all the time?

I don't know the exact statistics because they won't tell us. In the early 1990s, we were getting regular news coverage of men barracaded in their houses surrounded by police, sometimes killed because they refused to surrender. We got regular reports of fathers killing lawyers and shooting judges. One lawyer in Dallas, for example, representing himself in his own case, pulled a sub-machine gun out of his brief case during a hearing and opened fire. General permission to shoot men who owe child support if they resist has been issued in various places because of the perception of danger.

I don't know if you recall that back in that period courts around the country asked for federal aid to beef up court house security. I haven't surveyed court houses around the country to see what they look like today, but there were plenty of newspaper reports about the new airport type security in court houses. That happened as a response to the response to new domestic relations laws. The rate of violence in court houses increased as a result of the new laws. (I mentioned that at least once in congressional testimony.)

As for the news coverage: The National Organization for Women and other feminazi groups stepped right in and argued that news coverage, which sometimes involved interviewing men barracaded in their homes via telephone was "negotiating with terrorists." (Divorced men are "terrorists" according to NOW -- NOW isn't a terrorist organization for politically supporting the creation of the system that created the problem.) After that, there was a news blackout. It still happens, but you don't see it covered until a guy takes a gun to a day-care center, tells a reporter that he's just trying to make a point, and is immediately blow into small pieces by a SWAT team.

Local prosecutors have on more than one occassion stated that they are more afraid of men in domestic relations cases (which for a prosecutor would mostly be child support) than they are of people who have been arrested for serious crimes such as murder, drug-dealing, etc. When it comes to prosecuting men for the crime of being abandoned by their wives, having their children taken from them, and being ruined financially by the system (in a way from which they can never recover), they're dealing with men who have nothing more to lose -- and they're pissed.

Couple having to file personal bankruptcy because the cards and bills are all in your name, the prospect of getting a second job is idiotic and foolish. Too bad the pendulum hasn't obeyed the law of physics and swung backwards.
