The entire incident is flat out bizarre
“the entire incident is flat out bizarre”
You have to work in a hospital ER and OR to appreciate the fact that members of the knife and gun clubs perform their best on Christmas and New years Eve.
Unfortunately it’s just a variation on a common theme. Turns out this guy is the ‘estranged husband of someone who may have been at the party’. I can’t fault a single woman for trying to get away from someone capable of this, and yet it is not that uncommon.
NYC just announced that the majority of women murdered there last year were victims of a ‘partner, parent, or some other relation’. I know a lot of male Freepers get upset with the sense that the law goes too far in issuing restraining orders against men in such situations, but to more deadly effect it often doesn’t go far enough.
