Noor Al-Sibai 03 JUL 2018 AT 12:17 ET
A judge in Ardmore, Alabama twice denied Debra Ann Rivera protective orders against her ex-husband, Darwin Brazier including requests that his firearms be taken away from him due to alleged stalking. On Sunday, Brazier killed Rivera, two other people and himself.
The Decatur Daily reported Tuesday that Brazier on Sunday killed his ex-wife and her husband Radex Rivera, along with the couples roommate James Hayward-Boger.
Rivera had most recently filed for a protective order on March 1, 2018 after her ex allegedly called her so much that she had to change her phone number. Limestone County Circuit Judge Chad Wise granted the order on a temporary basis, but on April 10 declined to make the order permanent.
In March of 2017, Rivera petitioned Judge Wise to issue a protection-from-abuse order against Brazier and asked that his firearms be surrendered. The judge denied the request.

It shouldn't be a discretionary decision. You abuse your spouse, partner, kids or animals, fuck you no guns.

What kind of POS judge would sympathize with this monster? Or think that terrorizing his wife is "no big deal"? We see this time and time again. It's sickening. We need LAWS on the BOOKS to stop abusers from owning guns, period.

Note that his bio says he loves to spend time with his family. Too bad he did not care as much about other folks' families. Be sure to call and left him know what you think. Answering machine is on, so you will have to leave a message.
