"No win situation"?
Survival when somebody is trying to kill you is a win. Some wins are better than others, but it sure beats the crap out of losing, especially when you are playing for keeps like that. Quote:

When you need help, the police are only minutes away ...... or they might be right outside ......and their help may still minutes away..... I can't say as I blame them, as their job is not to rush in and risk their lives to protect you: You are the only one who can or will protect you. Police officers are there to uphold the law and arrest folk that break it ..... |

As far as the Justice of the Peace is concerned. Elections are held for removing those who make stupid decisions.
A restraining order against a husband is pro forma in divorce cases. Little thought is given to the wife as a threat. The whole thing is a tragic epsode. |

Some states have no elected judicial posts. Remember that Attorney Generals and Sheriffs are executive branch posts |
