Trust me, when I say that the first Battered Women's Shelter didn't open in my area until a full year after my husband tried to kill me.

And, all the years before that? Cops called because he was beating me so bad the neighbors could hear it, I was bloody, black and blue, broken bones, black eyes, broken nose. And, you know what the cops told him?

"Settle down, buddy. The neighbors are complaining."

And they left.

If not for Joe Biden and his kind, the cops would STILL be telling them to settle down.
