re: #3 teleskiguy

South Carolina has more than double the homicide rate for women than the rest of the country. I hope Todd’s wife isn’t near him.

If you haven’t read the Charleston Post & Courier’s Pulitzer Prize-winning series Till Death Do Us Part, set aside some time to read it. Be warned, it’s heartbreaking as all hell.

nice huh

Guns were the weapon of choice in nearly seven out of every 10 domestic killings of women over the past decade, but South Carolina lawmakers have blocked efforts to keep firearms out of the hands of abusers. Unlike South Carolina, more than two-thirds of all states bar batterers facing restraining orders from having firearms, and about half of those allow or require police to seize guns when they respond to domestic violence complaints.
