MILWAUKEE
Early in October, Zina Haughton filed a request for a restraining order. Both she and her husband appeared at the Milwaukee County Courthouse on Thursday.
On Oct. 4, witnesses saw Radcliffe Haughton slash his wife's tires in the parking lot of Azana Salon and Spa. That's when she requested a restraining order.
"My husband thinks I'm cheating on him. He woke up really angry that morning. He was screaming. He told me I wasn't going to work that day unless I gave him all the pass codes to my phone, unless I showed him my bank statements online for the day of May 29 -- the evening that he thinks I cheated on him," Zina Haughton said.
That day, the commissioner ordered Haughton to have no contact with his wife for four years and ordered him to surrender any guns.
Radcliffe Haughton bought a gun Saturday, the day before the shooting at the spa. Currently, no one follows up to see if people like Haughton ever surrender their guns. It's effectively the honor system.
Milwaukee County's chief judge said in coming months, courts across the state will be implementing a new follow up program.
"We're in the process of setting this new protocol that will say you have to come back to court to show you surrendered your firearms, but if they come back and say, 'I don't have any. I threw them away,' now what?" Milwaukee County Chief Judge Jeffrey Kremers said. "At the end of the day, we are still in the same position. I don't know that court procedures are going to stop that."

(3,182 posts)Trust me, when I say that the first Battered Women's Shelter didn't open in my area until a full year after my husband tried to kill me.
And, all the years before that? Cops called because he was beating me so bad the neighbors could hear it, I was bloody, black and blue, broken bones, black eyes, broken nose. And, you know what the cops told him?
"Settle down, buddy. The neighbors are complaining."
And they left.
If not for Joe Biden and his kind, the cops would STILL be telling them to settle down.

"She should have had a gun to protect herself" is the most likely answer,
along with "why do you want to take away my right to protect myself."
No really deep answers.
