Don’t hit your wife, girlfriend, mom or dad. Probably better not to hit your kid. Presumably we all know this but someone I thought knew it didn’t know it. His wife hit him with a belt, he hit her back. He left a mark, she didn’t. He went to jail, she didn’t. Two years later and $10K poorer from legal fees relating to the battery he found out that it is not all behind him. He plead to simple battery which is not domestic battery. He was assured he would retain his rights to own firearms. Wrong. The Feds regard simple battery as domestic battery if the victim was a family member. Now he has to sell an autosear to get another $10K to try to get this cleared up. One hell of a mess for sure.
Worst one I ever saw was when I worked security clearance for the county school board.
Mr Applicant had to bring a court ordered notarized letter from his ex wife where she admitted she filed a false police report of domestic battery on the advice of a friend in order to get a more favorable divorce settlement and custody.
The letter was extremely candid about how she made the entire thing up and that he never once laid a hand on her. Of course that letter only existed because she got caught lying, and rest assured that doesn’t always happen.
But what is the cherry on the sundae? I send Mr. Applicants file over to arbitration (SOP for anyone with a arrest record of any kind regardless of disposition) which includes the court ordered admission of guilt on the part of his ex wife and dismissal of all charges and the 80% female arbitration committee decides “where there is smoke, there is fire” and concludes he probably just “got away with it.”
The only silver lining is when he was informed that another applicant was hired for the position he applied for he had already gotten a job somewhere else.
I saw some truly vile and disgusting decisions when I worked there.
I’d run out of the house screaming like a little girl before hitting any family member, for this exact reason. No way I’d let a stupid mistake bar me from defensive arms for life.
It is for this very reason that I hope Frank Lautenberg gets his in the end. :mad:
This. I had an Ex get drunk and lose it on me once. I got out the door with a few knots and a bloody nose but didn’t lay a finger on her. Haven’t seen her since, and am living happily ever after. I’ve known way too many girls that can get bruised up bad while we’re both laughing and horsing around having fun. Unless my life is in danger I am hands off with aggressive females.
My sister fuckin’ fights like a man. That shouldn’t even count.
Who “assured” him? Hopefully not his lawyer. I could have told him that would not be the case and I’m not a lawyer. If you’re involved in anything relating to a domestic violence case, do not plead guilty to anything if you plan to retain your right to own firearms.
And you of course reported this to the state agency, yes?
Reported what, that a bunch of dumb bitches made some stupid bitch decisions? What makes you think the state agency isn’t also run by dumb bitches?
In the grand scheme of things the only thing that really didn’t fit was my job where I took the time to research the background on these people and present findings. The file I submitted seemed to factor about 5% of the decision and the other 95% seemed to be subjective to what those stupid bitches “believe” is the actual situation.
Applicants would have had a much fairer chance going up against a Magic 8 ball.
I learned early on that fairness and justice mean jack shit to the county, people are hired and paid primarily according to who they know and / or what they can do for the person hiring them.
While I was thankful to get and have the job at a time when I needed a good job, I saw a lot of appalling things for the first time in my life and I really wish I could have gotten a similar job in a more human environment.
Ok. A simple “no” would have sufficed.
Did you punch the bitches out?
All of this.
The fucked up thing is that it gets you no matter WHO gets hit. For instance, if your BIL the drunk gets in your face at Thanksgiving dinner and you knock him on his ass, YOU get screwed even if the prick hit you first.
del for opsec
edit…
You can still throw a punch in Oz without going to jail.
Nevermind.
Seen it, don’t care much for the entire situation or the “festivities” that were present in that area.
quick google found me this…
panem et circenses unfortunately.
He does need to learn how to throw a left hook correctly however.
Didn’t care for the festivities either. And as you may know I don’t care much for the minorities fucking up the city and it’s surroundings. What that has to do with the prankster woman assaulted by that idiot I have no idea. As an officer, would you punch a woman in the face if she squirted you with water?
That aside, you should never make such a statement here as a public servant. If I need to tell you why, maybe run it by your shift commander and see what he thinks.
I’ve been burned by the mother of my son worse than any words I could offer here. She was vicious, scarred me for life. I know what a bitch is and don’t appreciate them much these days. Ain’t sticking up for the bad ones by any means, but we can safely assume the officer in that clip has thoughts fairly similar to yours, can we not? Now he is justifiably done, pension and all.
I agree about the statement, but I go to great lengths to make sure things online are anon.
Now that is damn funny.
