Bad deal all over
Saw this story on CNN. This seems to be a situation that kept dominoing.

Now there's a good example of a guy who should have been in jail long before this event. "Order of protection", please, the only purpose of those is to add an additional charge after someone gets killed.

* That hundreds of similar cases play out every year? * That Anderson ignored that "protective order" like so many others? * That police actually arrived while the crime was in progress? * That the police couldn't save her (like the over 13,000 other murder victims every year?) * Or that it happened in their back yard?

This is a good example of why you should never just assume that an intruder in your home is just there to steal stuff, or wait until he actually threatens you before talking action.

once again a gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone, this is sad

Murder in the second degree? Breaking into her house with a knife doesn't demonstrate premeditation? Or did the autopsy result get the assailant a lesser charge?

I'm sorry, folks - this is terrible but how is it a tactics and training issue?
Protective orders or missed shots without some real knowledge of the tactical process in this one aren't making the mark. No offense but crime of the week isn't our purpose. If a later threat can make some specific T and T issue, let us know. BTW, Pax asked the rest of the us to look in here - so that's why I'm being such a busybody. GEM
