But it wasn’t over, at least to Brown. He used access to his son to repeatedly threaten her, taking her phone, credit cards and money. He beat her up in her home, causing Baldwin, who is eight inches shorter than Brown, to call the cops twice. After his last conviction in early May 2013 for breach of the peace, a reduced charge, Baldwin wanted to help him get anger management counseling. But the most she could do was get a court order barring more threats, harassment or assaults against her when visiting the boy
On June 18, he started again at 6:36 AM, accusing her of lying. After 12 texts, she wrote, “Leave me alone!!!!” He replied, “N u will see how crazy # will get today.”
She stated her boyfriend attempted to kill her,” the police’s affidavit said, recounting her remarks to the officers. “He climbed through her window, requested his identification, she told him where it was, he began fighting and choking her. Then he pulled a knife and choked her with his belt. Then she ran outside got in the car to attempt to flee. He managed to get in the car and proceeded to choke her again. Then she got out and fell as she did and the car ran over her leg and that he also got out to chase her[,] and the rest happen[ed] too fast and she wasn’t sure how he ended up in front of the Car.”

this is a tough one.
if we lived in a world based on my rules, she would not have spent a night in jail, assuming everything posted here is true. you push a person so much, you get what's coming.

it sucks, but that is all there is to it.

its not murder when you are defending your own life.
I am a big proponent of woman being trained to shoot a gun for just this type of reason. Men who don't know how to take "no" for an answer make all men look bad, and I am fully behind culling the herd of such animals.
. Deadly physical force can only be used if you reasonably believe that (1) the assailant is using or imminently going to use deadly physical force, or (2) the attacker is inflicting or going to imminently inflict substantial bodily harm to you or another person.

All I'm saying is its becoming the norm. The legal system is protecting outright illegal acts by law enforcement especially, who are supposed to be the beacon and example of blind justice.
It's becoming so contorted that people are losing faith in a system that's premise is too protect and serve the public, not protect and serve themselves.
Its in everything. From prisons, to the way we treat our poor and mentally afflicted. The entire legal system is becoming a quasi system used to rule instead of serving.
