Why heal the criminals let em die. I eas in hospital other day and the guy yelling was a a guy who stabbed someone and he was handcuffed to the bed.
We have to have harsher laws and penalties for domestic violence. Obviously, probation, short incarceration and orders of protection do not do it. RIP Iris.
There are really bad hombres in this area. It needs gentrification.
This was a crazy husband that didn’t want to get a divorce and was a stalker. Sadly there are crazy douche bag men in all races in society dumbass. Don’t believe me watch Live PD dudes be beating , stabbing and shooting their wives/GF all the time. There is a mental health issue in America we need to address . Oh but we can’t pay for it .
I don’t know about gentrification… I’ll pass on white people mass shootings.
