I feel that laws are strongly aimed at protecting the rights of the criminal. I am dealing with an ex-male friend who I believe has become a violent sociopath. He began to depracate me and other women, calls women filthy names, makes statements that we are out to destroy him, he is manipulative, impulsive & charismatic. I left him & my car was vandalized that night(convertible top was cut to shreds)but no one saw it done so I was told I could not have him arrested. I had my car repaired. I had enough evidence to get a restraining order as he has threatened to "get me for leaving". After the restraining order was served my car top was cut up again. This time he cut up a cat and shoved it through the cut up car top, slashed both rear tires & scratched up the paint. Again this was done at night, he was not seen & I was told I could not press charges on him. I know its him. I will go further to say that about 1 week later a woman was stabbed to death less than a mile from my home. Again no one saw it. I am afraid! I guess the laws tie the hands of the police & leave the victim open for the kill. I believe this man is very dangerous.
