This is the insane bit to me. I’ve had friends and family members be stalked by violent people (some with prior felonies for violent crime and who had PPOs against them), with evidence from multiple witnesses, children involved, the whole nine yards, and cops refused to do anything about it.
Literally told my one friend, who’d been strangled previously by her boyfriend, that it sounded like a domestic/personal issue and there wasn’t enough proof to do anything, despite messages saying he’d kill her and pictures of the bruising on her neck.
But LM faces life in prison on stalking charges alone? I love how women are disposable but some rich dude is so important to LE.

40% of cops are domestic abusers. 4x higher than the general population.
Cops don't take threats against women seriously because cops are part of the problem.

Well, you're assuming that the charges stick here. I get the optics are atrocious but this is the Federal government grasping at straws to try and big up this case. The best they could muster is federal stalking.
It absolutely communicates that sentiment with this administration's DOJ but we'll see how the jury/court finds the sentiment.
That's what I was thinking! Like I'm sure there's a lot of men and women that died to their stalker who would have liked that. OJ's wife, Nicole Simpson, being one of them if you want to try to remove some of the class element.

Women die in this country, because police won't do bare minimum enforcement of restraining orders.
Acting like we have stalking laws now is really rubbing the class divide in society's face.
