Re: Father's rights

I do feel people should be able to expect to be protected by the law, especially when they've done nothing wrong. I am sure that the woman (or the man) who is the victim often contributes to the escalation of violence, but there are also cases of people being stalked by complete strangers, who have done nothing except exist to merit the unwanted attention. The law expects me to abide by it; in return I do not think i t is unreasonable to expect protection.

Yes, but that is little comfort to the victims.


My point was that you seem to put so much responsibility for people's personal safety on the police and they are somehow deficient if a crime is committed. There is plenty of blame to go around when a history of domestic violence results in someone's death, but unless the police have been truly negligent - i.e., not answering emergency calls and the like - none of it can reasonably be assigned to them.
