Has anyone thought of emailing this article to all the City Councillors, the State legislators and all the local hospital administrators? Oh, and the Police Chief whose troops have wasted their time arresting these women on this long list of offenses only to see them rewarded with taxpayers money. Maybe even the local newspapers and TV stations.

A nice pile of reprints of this article sitting on the sales desk of the local gun shop might give some purchacers some target ideas too.

I agree with Virtue. For years, DV shelters have been turning away men and telling them to go to a motel or homeless shelter. Since they have found this acceptable for such a large portion of DV victims, the entire shelter industry should be de-funded and replaced with a few motel vouchers that the local law enformcement agency/DV hotline could distribute to women and men fleeing violence. Goose- meet gander. Could I get a group hug for equality?

But, this is easily fixed.
1. find the name of the person who hired them.
2. fired, barred from future employment.
3. find any employee who recommended or promoted them.
4. fired, barred from future employment.
5. total their gross salary over their entire work history, include (as per IRS requirements) any privileges (parking space, meals, use of vehicles).
6. deduct it from the shelter’s budget allocation for executive’s salaries.

Trusted employees? Oh, I get it. She means employees she can trust to tow the party line!
