You’ve never gone to the cops with a problem before, have you?

"Thanks. We'll send extra patrols. Sorry that happened. Have a good day!"

"Look, what do you expect us to do about it? We're really busy and your complaint isn't going to boost our revenue at all."

About12 hours ago as I'm posting this I was driving home from work with my parents a few minutes behind me, were gonna do Xmas this weekend. It's raining hard.

Someone with no lights on is barreling down my lane, I almost don't see him in time to swerve and honk. As I do so he very clearly swerves out and then back in (like he's trying to PIT me) and then returns to my lane once he misses me

I immediately dial 911 and after being on hold for 6 minutes all they said was "well get someone to that intersection"

Like, did you not fucking hear me? The guys doing 70, he's not at this intersection anymore!

"Well tell patrol, good night"

Parents confirmed he was still trying to kill people as he went down the road

If you’re lucky. If you’re not, you get Jeffery Dahmer’d.

You're right, the solution was murder

Sadly yes, when the law fails. See Jeffery Dahmer for when someone in need tried to rely on the police for help.

Recently a domestic abuse victim was shot by the cops. Maybe the person you're replying to is just suggesting this victim just fucking dies instead?

She was 24. I'm suggesting she fuckin leaves instead. He could have picked her up and cut contact while they sorted it out. They could have contacted an abuse center or a women's shelter. But no, they had to kill her I guess.

She had a psychologically abusive childhood so I gave her a pass but he didn't. He has no excuse for thinking first degree murder was the only option. You're all crazy for defending him.

Her decision to have Dee Dee killed came after she'd tried to run away ahead of yet another needless procedure, this time on her larynx. "I just wasn't having it," says Gypsy, who claims she fled her home, only to be tracked down within hours. "She found me, brought me back and put in place paperwork saying I was incompetent and she had power of attorney over me."

I see you didn't read the article

I did read the article. Hence why I said her boyfriend should pick her up. Her mom found her within HOURS. Teenagers successfully runaway without help all the time.

I'm referring to 'abuse center or woman's shelter'. How, exactly, is she going to be able to stay anywhere or obtain any help when the mum already managed to get her declared witless and rightless? And that's setting aside the question of whether she had the physical freedom and ability to escape again. Given the circumstances it's not unreasonable to think she might be locked up.
