Remember, when a victim is ready to leave, they’re in the most danger. Be careful out there.
They should have left 2 years ago when they first felt unsafe. I get wanting to stay together for the kids, but if they are a threat to you, they are a threat to the kids as well. Getting the kids away from the abuser and getting restraining orders would have been a good course of action at that point.
We need more resources available for people in her position, so they don’t feel forced to stay with an abuser for the sake of the kids. Those resources need to keep the victims safe, help care for the victims, provide a safe place for victims, and maybe even provide safe ways to get the victims away from abusers.

You are expecting this from a government that is unwilling provide adequate housing stock to the population overall.
While I agree that these resources must be provided to victims we are ruled by people who hate us and refuse to run proper socio economic policy. This is just one example of this disdain for the common people.
The crook murdered the only decent parent those poor 3 kids had.
Police said Kaminski legally owned at least one firearm, with his brother-in-law saying he owned a .22-calibre firearm.
We need to ban guns completely from civilians and the police in Canada.
I half agree.
This is Canada. Our (national) cops are actually trained.
LOL. ok buddy. Trained in what exactly, being fucking assholes to everyone they meet?
Mostly just brown and black people 'cause they’re easier pickings.
I mean, I lived in Canada long enough to realize the RCMP just hate everyone. You see that chart the other day that listed how white every province was 20 years ago, and it was all above 95 percent, and now it’s like 50 percent except some of the Maritimes? I’m more than old enough to remember when the RCMP’s favourite target was poor whites (and treaty indians if they could find them)
I’m over 65 and have lived all over Canada. What I’ve seen is Black and Brown people get treated a LOT worse than white people are.
Yes, poor white people get treated like shit too, but they aren’t gunned down or jailed at the astronomical rate POCs are.
lie some more.
oh man, you two agree that the RCMP are assholes, why die on this hill
Poor you, thinking that because you disagree with me that makes me a liar.
Too young to be wise I guess.
Ah yes, ban guns right as governments and corporations are going full fascist again. What could ever go wrong? That would stop all crime. It’s not like someone could drive a truck into a crowd of people in New Orleans on NYE and kill 15 people in half a second. That’s just impossible.
government and corporations have been going full fascist for decades and you haven’t done shit. You don’t need your gun, because if you did you would have already used it.
You just like to indulge in your little killing fantasy while bobbing on the boot.
Legal gun owner violence is incredibly rare in Canada. I’d rather focus more resources on illegal firearms.
In a case like this with domestic abuse, the abuser would have been able to assault them just as easily with a kitchen knife. The gun isn’t the problem here, the abuser is the problem.
Edit: many firearms traning courses instruct firearm owners to notify police of potential violent or abusive firearm owners. The police can then do a follow up to check in on the gun owners and determine if they are safe enough to continue owning firearms. Many training courses also recomend both partners aquire training and a lisence even if just 1 intends on owning firearms. This increases safety for both partners as they are both aware of the laws and safe handling of firearms.
The family had been worried for years about the abuse and behavior of the abuser. We need more awareness that you can ask the police to check in on someone who you believe to be a danger with firearms.
the abuser would have been able to assault them just as easily
That is not true as shooting at someone is just the pull of a trigger where assaulting with a knife is much more involved and difficult to do.
Edit: That the checkup clearly failed here and the best you can do to prevent the murders is by restricting guns further.
The gun owners are always quick to be in damage control trying to downplay the consequences of having guns in society.
People drink and drive killing innocent people as well. We haven’t banned all cars and alcohol. It is impossible to stop all deaths but villifying the gun as the worst part of this is disingenuous. This victim was scared for years but never left or searched for help. We need more resources to protect the victims and make help available to them. We can ban guns all we want, it wont stop abusers from being violent. More resources for victims will save more lives and prevent more abuse than just banning guns.
We haven’t banned all cars and alcohol.
We should move away from cars and alcohol by building up the public transit and active transport while also informing people about the effects of drinking.
A lot of people from the bars drive home drunk because they cannot easily catch a bus or walk home with the car infrastructure we have here.
Banning guns will make murder much more difficult and force the potential perpetrators to reconsider their actions before acting out on them.
A person could just grab their legally acquired gun and shoot anyone they don’t like without a struggle.
I mean…sometimes city people need to stop staring at their crotch and being useless. Go outside, get out in the country, drive to the fucking NW Territories and think about what you just said.
angry at the idea of not drinking and catching the bus… lol damn these useless city people, subsidizing fuel for everyone
god you’re a clown
Any competent redneck/welder/machinist(especially him, his isn’t ever gonna jam and will be more accurate)/mechanic/plumber can build a functioning AK 47 in an afternoon. It’s not hard. basic welding skills, knowing how to rivet, and also very few moving parts. They’re literally folded sheet metal and rivets plus a barrel. I am not exaggerating. https://imgur.com/gallery/old-gold-build-own-ak-47-from-shovel-TspVw here’s how
Unless it’s a 22LR you could get shot by it and still take it from him. I’m only half kidding.
I’d feel better trying that if he had .22 short
People who say shit like that think guns are some magical mystery technology that no one understands. I built my first gun when I was 12, a single shot .22 bolt action. My dad was quite impressed and then cut it up. That was 20 years ago, at this point I can build anything I want, and so can anyone knows how to weld and do simple fabrication. (And personally i don’t think anyone that ill informed should be allowed to vote)
