This Is How A Domestic Violence Victim Falls Through The Cracks

[doxydad]

Berryville, Arkansas — Two days before she died, Laura Aceves stood on the side of the road and frantically dialed the police for the last time.

It was early afternoon and the 21-year-old had finished her shift at the Berryville Tyson Foods plant, where she worked on an assembly line deboning chicken. Moments after pulling out of the parking lot, her car broke down. At the nearest service station, a mechanic identified the problem: Someone had poured bleach in her gas tank.

Laura knew who was responsible. Her abusive ex-boyfriend, Victor Acuna-Sanchez, was out on bail and had a history of destroying her stuff. “No one else would have done this,” she told police.

1. The "Good Old Boy" sheriff is part of the problem.

Without any evidence, he blames her death on destruction of the traditional family and the victim:
When asked how Carroll County could improve its handling of domestic violence cases, Grudek said he was unconvinced that a more proactive response — like setting high bail for serial abusers, or requiring GPS tracking for offenders who violate restraining orders — would make a substantial difference.

“The question you’re asking me is what’s wrong with the courts,” he said. “I’m asking you, what’s wrong with the women?”

He's too stupid to admit to all the reasons why women can't leave. He is too stupid to understand that she shouldn't have to give up her life to get away from her abuser.

And only three counties in Arkansas are using the GPS tracker on these serial abusers awaiting trial.

2. Oh my god...

Grudek said he couldn’t comment on Acuna-Sanchez's case specifically. But he shared his perspective on the problem of domestic violence, which he said he formulated by watching Dr. Phil.

“This is a very serious social problem,” he said, speculating that the crime was related to the breakdown of the traditional family structure. “Maybe if our culture goes back to when we had different values ... I don’t remember when I was a kid hearing about any domestic violence.”

5. If he didn't hear about it

It's those godless liberals.

3. You couldn't sneeze without hitting all the failures in this tragedy.

I'm starting to severely dislike my gender. We're in serious need of correction before this planet goes up in flames as a result of our actions.

4. If this guy has never "heard" of violence to women he hasnt been listening.

6. But every "good ol' boy" thinks women lie about domestic violence
