Lock Her Up

I hope she didn't think she would get a break by doing her dirt down in Memphis. She might be right though, since she was charged with aggravated assault and not attempted murder. Nashville is in Tennessee, but it's a red county. Shelby is a blue county in a red state. Thus the difference. Women seem to get away with shooting their men in this area. All they have to do is claim physical abuse. Monique Williams shot her man and hid him in a trunk. Her son helped her hide the body and they both got off. Even though the murder victim had restraining orders on her. Mary Winkler shot her husband in the back of the head, while he was asleep. They caught up with her later in another state. Much to my surprise the other day, she got custody of her children. Those are not the only examples, just some of the more noted ones.

The one thing all of these domestic situations seem to have in common, is the shooters ability to walk away. If someone is beating you and forcing you to do things against your will. If you possess the means and opportunity to leave. Why would you stay? I just don't buy that excuse about them not being able to walk away. I watched a movie the other night and it best described what I think is par the course. These people are gambling. Betting the beatings won't outweigh the benefits. For one reason or another, the supposed victims don't want to leave. All that being said. That's the price that you pay. Lock her up.
