'He Cried And Begged His Father, "Don't Do It, Daddy. Don't Shoot Mommy." My Son Said That.'

[Playinghardball]

Kate Ranta's ex-husband was released from a restraining order and immediately went out and purchased a gun. Then he came to her apartment, where her father and her 4-year-old son were with her. Hear her story. There's a million more Kates in the world, and each one of them has a similar and unacceptable story to tell.

1. There needs to be more videos like this to wake up our society

and teaching girls and women the warning signs that a male might be dangerous (I'm not sure even the "shinks" would be 100%accurate in knowing who is dangerous, but knowledge of the warning signs should be free federal information via TV. It won't be perfect but it would cut some of this down.

4. I agree with your sentiment...though I have a slightly different view on it...

There needs to be no more videos like ... as in there should be no need for them ever again!

That and I'd advocate teaching girls and women how to disarm and dismantle any man (or woman) who is stupid enough to attack them in the first place... along with recognizing warning signs.

2. They had to disable comments for this video....

I wonder how many death threats she's gotten for speaking out.

5. One death threat would be too many.

6. Just the thought of that infuriates me.

I would love to kick the ass of anyone who would even consider it. If only I could read minds...
