'He's Mad...He's Got The Gun': GOP OH State Sen's Wife Calls Cops On Her Husband

[RamboLiberal]

-----

"Just please get somebody here ... My husband, please."

"This is the first time I've called," she said. "He's done this a lot. I can't put up with this anymore."

"He's had some drinks," she said. "He was pushing me around, throwing stuff. Because I called you, he wants - he says it's over."

Melissa Jordan told the dispatcher that there were guns in the home and that one had been taken from its usual spot but was in a separate room.

"He's mad; he's got the gun," she whispered. "I don't want anybody here."

1. Woah that had to be scary. What a doosh.

[The Magistrate]

2. How Much Lee-Way Do Police Have In Ohio, Ma'am?

In many states, police would be required to arrest the man in this situation.

4. In these situations someone needs to go to jail overnight

But then the Repuke gov calls cops "idiots".

5. I don't think they are required to arrest someone just because they

were called, like they are in some states. But this was Delaware County. John Kasich's home county. The richest county in the state. I'm sure the sheriff's deputies WOULD have arrested someone if they were black.

6. Probably would've arrested a poor white too

But in fear for their job if they arrested the senator.

[The Big Vetolski]

7. Delaware County? Yeah, definitely. nt

3. welcome to Ohio

8. Hooray alcohol!

She needs to get out of there before he gets drunk and mad and shoots her (or, just as likely, beats her to death).

[petronius]

9. She really needs to get out of there; I hope she can find the will and support

to get out of this abusive relationship. Even if it doesn't end in mayhem or death, it's got to be miserable... :(
