I read a story about a San Diego man who shot his wife 150 times with a stun gun. I never thought of that purpose for a stun gun. The next time my wife messes up a meal or refuses to give me a foot massage. Sting ! Sting!
The husband pleaded out and received (3) years probation and ordered to take domestic violence classes. What a joke? Another example of justice system giving a slap of the wrist to the abuser. Domestic violence classes; no kidding..
:
One of the first things I thought of with the 150 times:. Is what type of batteries was he using? It turns out he had
(4) stun guns.
So you women: Be nice to your husbands. You hear!
I don’t know. I live in Cleveland, Ohio. I am sure Cleveland will vote heavily for Obama
but I doubt if Columbus or Cincinnati will. How about the rest of the country?
There is still a lot of prejudice in this country but I remember when it was a lot worse. I grew up in a small town in Pa. where there were no blacks. When blacks came through, the residents would get nervous. Some times they stopped in a bar and had a drink. After they left, the bartender would break their glasses in front of the other patrons. Of course, the young people have change this type of attitude. The young kids in school don’t even think of black/white issues.
Will it depend on his running mate? I think that will make a difference. If he chooses an
older white man with foreign relations experience, I think that will definitely help. I know
that will make a difference to me.
If he does win, some people suggest he will need a “food taster”. I think that’s a little
harse.
Will the police need a taser to handle the protest crowds? I hope not.
An interesting choice: a young black man or a 72 year old man. When Reagan was asked about the age issue in his race, he said he would not hold his opponents age or lack of experience against him.
I just hope these candidates will not keep people from the polls. It should be an interesting
November.
According to FBI statistics, every 15 seconds a house, apartment or condominium is burglarized. It is usually during the day when homes are more often vacant. One of the best strategies is to make your home appear occupied:
—-Lower the volume of your telephone ringer so it can’t be heard outside
—Refrain from posting notes on your front door
–Forward calls when you are leaving for an extended period
-Have a trusted neighbor pick up your newspapers and mail
-Use automatic timers to turn the lights on at night
-If you’ll be away for more than a week, make plans to have the grass mowed or snow shoveled.
Also you can have one of the many home alarms installed.
Many are inexpensive ( $15-$40) alarms and can be installed in minutes.
I was working in a tax preparation office when I saw our window washer drop his squizee and run out to the strip mall parking lot. He saw a mugger trying to rob an elderly couple and he came to their rescue. He and another man grabbed the mugger and held him down until the police came. The mugger was hollering about his civil rights. ( Can you believe that? ) This was about 2:00 in the afternoon. The mugger tried to grab the elderly lady’s handbag but she wouldn’t let go. He pushed her husband ( who was trying to help) down to the ground. The elderly gentlemen ( both were in their 80’s ) was taken in the ambulance for precautionary reasons.
I praised the men who got involved. I don’t even know if it was a good thing to do. But sometime you just react and don’t think. The window washer said it was like watching someone robbing his parents.
This is one of the safest areas in the Cleveland area but that doesn’t matter any more. This seems to be happening.everywhere. Here is where I usually get on my bandwagon and say you must practice self defense. But I am not sure a Stunmaster Stun Gun or or a pepper spray
would be a good thing for this couple. Maybe a a personal
alarm might help.
Are we at the point when the elderly have to stay in their home behind locked doors? I hope not. If you have elderly parents
or friends, try to help them go shopping etc. This is the only thing I can think of. If you have any ideas please enter them
