Christ, go back to /pol/ if you can't discuss anything without making it a political issue.

>>153620
/pol/ is -> way
/b/ is <- way

Unfortunately (and I mean that) if you look to the causes, things become often enough political issues. And on that note, I'm outta here.

Because murder is illegal and immoral?

If you won't greentext at least the important parts, kill yourself.

You could have done it.

>In 2009, Joseph Wills asked Helen Pearson on a date.

>She declined.

>Then the stalking began. Wills called Pearson over and over again. He sent her threatening letters (sample text: “I want to play a game … I want to see how you would cope if you were attacked … Would you fight back? Scream? Let the game begin.”) He wrote “Die Helen Die” outside her home in Exeter, England, in big white letters. Another time, he slashed her tires. Once, he even left a dead cat on her doorstep.

>Pearson was shaken. So she reported the threats to the police. She reached out to them 125 times over five years to report this unrelenting harassment campaign. The abuse got so bad, Pearson said, that she considered suicide. “Every night you go to bed and you don’t know what is going to happen and you constantly live in fear,” she told the BBC. “You see that there’s no way the stalking is ever going to end.”

>At the time, Pearson said she thought, “This is going to go on until I am dead.”

>>153865

>That horrifying reality almost came to pass on Oct. 21, 2013. That night, Wills attacked Pearson with a pair of scissors in a nearby graveyard as she walked to the gym. Onlookers said they saw Wills drag Pearson into the cemetery by the hood of her coat. Pearson was stabbed eight times in her back, face and neck. She was saved by a witness, who jumped out of his car and shoved Wills away.

>Wills was arrested, tried and found guilty of attempted murder and sentenced to life in prison.

>In a report released this week, police have apologized for their behavior, admitting personal and organizational failings. A report on the department’s response says that the three officers involved in the investigation face misconduct charges.

>Pearson, though, says the just-released report is too little, too late.

>>153867

>“It doesn’t do anything for me. I am still suffering every day because of what happened to me,” she said.

>In the U.K., 20 percent of women and 10 percent of men say they’ve been stalked at least once in their lifetime. Researchers have also shown that stalking very often escalates to murder or attempted murder. One 1999 study found that three-quarters of all femicide victims were stalked by their killer first. And more than half of those killed had reported their stalkers’ behavior to the police.

>Alexis Bowater, a former chief executive of Network for Surviving Stalking, says she’s not sure much has changed since 2013. Police still don’t take this seriously enough, she told the BBC.

>“They call it murder in slow motion,” she said. “Taking stalking seriously is murder prevention.”

If I was being stalked and especially knowing no one is going to help I would definetely be armed at all times. Better to be prepared than wished you had been.

you shouldn't have to 'protect' yourself with drastic means that could get you or some bystander injured/killed.... that's what we have police for... at least I think that's what 'protect and serve' mean....

After making 125 complaints (even less for that matter), she should have bought herself a gun and carried it anyway...better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

The H unted should have become the Hunter. After five years she has no one else to blame but herself. Where are her men? Where is her family? Don't ever rely on the police for anything. They are so jaded and worn out that they must be the last resort for protection. How can they help when it takes so long for the help to arrive. Do not get ready, be ready. After five years she shoud have at least been ready. After one year she should have gone on the offensive.

Wait, so how did the guy end up killing her, if he was sitting in prison?

(Also; please don’t greentext the entire article, the pale green text on a pale blue background is hard on the eyes and should only be used for quoting other posters.)

>is hard on the eyes

Things very well should be hard for you since you're too retarded to read correctly anyway.
