Washington County, MD Judge murdered in his driveway

[Anonymous]

Figures authorities, even in MD, would let a domestic abuser keep his gun.

He does not look like stereotypes of killers or wife abusers / mundane face of evil if he is guilty …

The poor family of the judge - what a nightmare for them.

I'm a former domestic violence advocate and later prosecutor. He looks VERY much like the typical wife abuser/domestic violence killer to me. The notion that such people look like ??? or behave like ??? is so antiquated. Most violently abusive men look like your doctor or dentist or pharmacist or whatever and not so much like the ??? of your biased imaginings.

So your stereotype is more accurate than another poster's stereotype ?

The very obvious meaning of PP's statement is that domestic abusers look like a cross section of everyone and not anyone in particular. I'm coming at this from the opposite angle (I used to do criminal defense, including for domestic abusers) and I agree. There's no one thing that "domestic abusers" look like.

True. But there is one very noticeable physical characteristic that 98% of abusers share.

+1. Family annihilators and mass shooters share the same characteristic.

There will never be peace in this world until we solve the problem of testosterone and the violence it compels.

Forgot to add his domestic violence case:
https://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/casesearch/inquiryDetail.jis?caseId=D112FM22000322&loc=39&detailLoc=DV

So why did he still have a gun.

NO ONE protects women in this country.

They protect men's supposed right to have a gun.

SO SICK of this.

The right to have a gun is not specific to men.

But men are MUCH likely to be murderers.

Especially of their domestic partners.

Women should not have to resort to violence to stay alive. We pay people to protect to protect us, with our taxes.

But if every Macho idiot with a fragile ego is allowed to own guns, we are doomed.

23% of women report commiting intimate partner violence. This is similar to the numbers for men, but even if every man in the country was an abuser, they wouldn't be 98%.

Stop making up nonsense.

He was ordered to surrender the firearm. When the abuse claim was withdrawn by the complainant he would have been permitted to retrieve it. He was never adjudicated a “domestic abuser” until perhaps the day the judge ruled in the custody case.

No. They're just lawyers in robes bc they happened to win an election or get appointed.

It's a reminder of what risks judges routinely incur when dealing with unstable, dangerous people.

My FIL was a judge and my DH remembers answering the phone to death threats as a kid.

I was wrong. The number is actually 28% of women based on the analysis I was thinking of: https://connect.springerpub.com/content/sgrpa/3/2/170. Women report being perpetrators at higher rates than men, actually. Men are less likely to be victims of physical IPV, but only slightly: https://connect.springerpub.com/content/sgrpa/3/2/140.

That's the reality of domestic abuse, not "it's always the men!"
