Or even legal, for that matter. I can't imagine why real estate interests haven't challenged this in court. Corporate and property-owning types usually don't take kindly to gummint telling them who they can and cannot do business with.

This is ridiculous Drale Apr 2013 #1

It doesn't sound like they were together, except in abuso-jerk's mind. politicat Apr 2013 #4

Did she press charges? FarCenter Apr 2013 #7

Easy questions for us to ask Kelvin Mace Apr 2013 #9

How true. Lady Freedom Returns Apr 2013 #73

Very few men know what it is like to be genuinely Kelvin Mace Apr 2013 #75

And that is one of the things that worry me about this law. Lady Freedom Returns Apr 2013 #78

I guess that's what the first two strikes were for kudzu22 Apr 2013 #2

And even before she called police the first time, R B Garr Apr 2013 #5

There are always signs. lapislzi Apr 2013 #10

What I was commenting on was the police response and their policy R B Garr Apr 2013 #70

blame the victim of domestic violence on the person getting hit/punched/killed CreekDog Apr 2013 #34

K&R Solly Mack Apr 2013 #3

Saddened and dismayed by the responses on this thread. lapislzi Apr 2013 #6

You speak soothly Kelvin Mace Apr 2013 #8

I would suspect... MoonchildCA Apr 2013 #45

In addition to "Think...." I'd add "Listen. Empathize." Gormy Cuss Apr 2013 #49

One of the things I always say to people: lapislzi Apr 2013 #52

If the police are at the same place.... NCTraveler Apr 2013 #11

Go where? Kelvin Mace Apr 2013 #12

I fully agree with this part. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #16

what you're saying is if the perp gets in trouble, his victims need to be evicted CreekDog Apr 2013 #35

I never said such a thing. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #37

so you're saying you don't want to kick them out but want them evicted CreekDog Apr 2013 #39

I think you are confused. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #41

this is your position, quoted verbatim, it sounds like you don't want to take responsibility for it: CreekDog Apr 2013 #44

Once again, you are confused. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #47

I am going to step to the defense of NCTraveler. lapislzi Apr 2013 #50

You defend someone who took a position you call amoral? Dumb. CreekDog Apr 2013 #59

Wut? lapislzi Apr 2013 #64

You're bending over backwards to defend someone who is calling for these people to be evicted CreekDog Apr 2013 #71

DV is a community issue lapislzi Apr 2013 #74

You're missing one subtle but critical point. KamaAina Apr 2013 #72

Oh, I get it. lapislzi Apr 2013 #77

go where? she doesn't care, not one bit. well, she cares about the landlord and neighbors CreekDog Apr 2013 #69

Yeah, let's just make the children forced to witness said violence homeless. strategery blunder Apr 2013 #14

I am not talking about the children in the home. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #18

The threat of eviction deters victims from seeking help. strategery blunder Apr 2013 #19

I do grasp what you are saying. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #24

It's generally going to be the abuser who is breaking the terms of the lease... strategery blunder Apr 2013 #29

Think about what you just said. lapislzi Apr 2013 #15

Incorrect. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #17

The biggest effect is on the victim lapislzi Apr 2013 #20

I like everything that you have posted here. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #30

Points taken, all. lapislzi Apr 2013 #33

these laws are an abomination noiretextatique Apr 2013 #22

The first amendment has nothing to do with her renting a piece of private land. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #25

Redress of grievances. lapislzi Apr 2013 #27

Ummm, "...and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." TheMadMonk Apr 2013 #38

You hear domestic violence and your top worry is $$$ and private property CreekDog Apr 2013 #61

Once again, you are not understanding. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #65

WTF? here's the 1st amendment issue...from the article that you did not read noiretextatique Apr 2013 #79

Read it and understand it. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #80

Oooh, that looks like fun. Can I put the boot to the defenceless too? TheMadMonk Apr 2013 #21

I know your question is rhetorical, but there are possible answers. lapislzi Apr 2013 #23

Why shouldn't it be? Cops don't require that corpse lodge a complaint. TheMadMonk Apr 2013 #32

No argument, but sometimes that's the way it goes down. lapislzi Apr 2013 #36

Ignoring the rest of you post, this is spot on. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #26

I'm sure they are. lapislzi Apr 2013 #28

You've pretty much made the cops case for them by illustrating the decisions they face themselves R B Garr Apr 2013 #51

Now if only we had a safety net. lapislzi Apr 2013 #53

I am and have been talking about the way that things are today. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #57

You're giving me an idea =) lapislzi Apr 2013 #60

It is a very good idea. And one I believe many legislators would get behind in many states. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #62

^^^why I love DU^^^ lapislzi Apr 2013 #67

You make a good point about a safety net and this seems like an extreme case R B Garr Apr 2013 #68

So the ofspring of such a woman should be deemed lost... TheMadMonk Apr 2013 #54

I don't feel it should be that way. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #55

How about just the violent tenant? KamaAina Apr 2013 #40

The people on the lease are evicted. All parties. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #42

Yes, but that doesn't make it right. KamaAina Apr 2013 #43

No. It is not right. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #46

You say it's not right but you argue for it here CreekDog Apr 2013 #63

You continue to be dishonest about my position. NCTraveler Apr 2013 #66

Of course it isn't right. lapislzi Apr 2013 #58

because nothing solves a person's problems quite like evicting them 0rganism Apr 2013 #13

I have read all the comments. Kalidurga Apr 2013 #31

Domestic violence calls are the most dangerous for zeeland Apr 2013 #48

That is their job. Lady Freedom Returns Apr 2013 #76
