I just can't get over the Waukesha parade massacre

41. Too bad law enforcement agencies just chalk up a "domestic" episode

To "meh" because, well women can't be trusted and possibly, most likely in their minds, are the agent provocateurs.

It's time to start beating the drum that is fully supported by Years of research. Intimate Partner Violence, IPV, is almost ALWAYS a precursor to mass murder, mass casualty events.

As soon as any history of so called "domestic" violence is evident that guilty party should be flagged as at high risk of initiating a mass casualty event. It's science!!

I'm sick to death of the ancient presupposition that allows these lowlifes to escape scrutiny and subsequently leads to these IPV offenders never being accountable for their actions.

IPV crosses gender lines.

It's a harbinger of serious, societal violence.

The evidence speaks for itself. It's been researched to the moon and back!

IPV it's a definite warning sign (and should be the first trigger) for LE to get serious about the risks these offenders are to the community at large.

There is also plenty of evidence that victim blaming is SOP.

The antiquated, misogynistic notion that "wiminfolk" are somehow culpable for these episodes of domestic assault needs to be squashed like a bug.

How many women (trans women and even men) do you think there are in prison because they were forced to use self defense against their abusers? Too many!!

Blame is a broad notion and until we stop playing the blame game and follow the science on IPV, all of us, especially our progeny will constantly be targets open to attack.

The primary sorrow of my life is that we, primarily females are not full citizens under the law in the United States of America and that I will die before I see a time when women, all gender identifying females, worldwide, will be elevated to the equal status in life, and all that goes with it, that we deserve.

To borrow a turn of phrase, "It's the IPV, Stupid."
