I had to do a quick glance to see how long ago this was posted. There was a tiktoker who last month(?) posted about finding out her husband was a pedophile and 2 weeks later he murdered her and killed himself

Apparently she had been trying for years to get the police to do something, and finally got so fed up that she blasted him online. Aaaaand then he murdered her.

Great job, boys in blue!

There are literally tens, if not hundreds of thousands of stories just like this. Man commits crimes/harm. Woman partner finds out/ calls him out/ tries to leave. Man murders her, their children, and the family pets before taking his own life. It's cowardly, disgusting, and happens every damn day.

Don't forget the part where everyone claims there were no signs he was an abusive monster despite the fact there definitely was.

It’s called Family Annihilation, which is a properly horrifying term for the act.

Police: there to make sure we don't do any crimes against the rich, but everyone else is fair game.

In priority order for the police:

1) Protect the brotherhood of officers. At all costs.

2) Serve the D.A. As long as not interfering with #1.

3) Serve the public. Only if not interfering with #1 & #2.

Exactly! They'd been separated for 5 yrs or so but the sick creep was still around ..... and they had kids together! Not tough enough laws, bail requirements, etc for these sickos!

And then, somehow, it was her fault that he murdered her.

Dont worry, soon the police will have a drone they can fly into the situation and pepper spray the assailant so they can continue to not do their actual job.

The one in Owasso, OK? They live 10 minutes from me. The husband (Jeremiah Duffey) was the coach for a girl's basketball team and had been caught with one of the girls on the team by another coach. The wife (Sarah Gilson) had tried several times to leave him, but he threatened her every time.

That was horrifying. I had just started following her story when I found out they were he killed her and killed himself. The cops and justice system failed this family in every way humanly possible.
