Man jailed with a gunshot wound after harassing ex-wife NY

A 47-year-old man is in the Greene County jail with a gunshot wound after State Police say he showed up drunk at his estranged wife's home and harassed her and her sister.

Troopers got a call around 5:30 Monday evening from a 49-year-old woman who said she had just shot her sister's ex-husband.

Police say Geraldine Finelli armed herself with a 20-gauge shotgun after Donald Case Jr. showed up making threats. When Case refused to leave, she fired one round toward the ground, striking Case in the lower leg.

He took off, but was stopped by Catskill village police and taken to the hospital for treatment of the wound. When he was released, State Police charged him with second-degree burglary.

He was arraigned and jailed on $50,000 cash bail or $100,000 bond.

1. Geraldine Finelli did the correct thing because SCOTUS says govt. is not obligated to protect her.

SCOTUS said in TOWN OF CASTLE ROCK, COLORADO v. GONZALES, individually and a next best friend of her deceased minor children, GONZALES et al.

Held: Respondent did not, for Due Process Clause purposes, have a property interest in police enforcement of the restraining order against her husband. Pp. 6—19.

When attacked by a criminal and seconds count, police are only minutes away!

5. My wife likes to say

"No woman has ever shot a man while he was doing the dishes."
Words to live by.

2. Funny how an abusive male

doesn't do so well when the female has a gun to protect herself. I wonder if this was going to end with the ex-husband killing somebody.

Responsible ownership is the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones, period.
