Message: <blockquote data-quote="soberups" data-source="post: 1446298" data-attributes="member: 14668"><p>Due to budget cuts, the sheriff of Josephine County Oregon advises all women in his jurisdiction who take out restraining orders to (a) buy a gun and (b) move to a city or county with adequate police resources. There is no jail space available to house anyone who has not been convicted of a crime, and during the night time hours there is one deputy patrolling over 1000 square miles so the response to a 911 call might be measured in hours rather than minutes. Fortunately, the law-abiding women and men of Oregon do not have their Constitutional rights withheld for an arbitrary 3-day waiting period, so those who make the decision to take personal responsibility for their own safety have the means to do so immediately.</p></blockquote><p></p>
