I was quite young when I realized that the police CANNOT be there for you 24/7/365
Maybe a gun would not have helped save her feom this monster…but maybe one would have. Carry a small gun with a magazine of hollowpoints. For in home protection, especially in your bedroom…a short, double barreled shot gun
Note to all….close, lock and block your bedroom door every night. You are most vulnerable then. Yes, men, too.
The St. Louis Bail Project SHOULD discriminate by charge, i.e., not bailing out VIOLENT OFFENDERS, when there are SO MANY NON-VIOLENT OFFENDERS that need their help!
