Domestic Violence Rarely Ends with the Abuser Dead

I wish more of the stories I read ended with the abused protecting themselves. Authorities: Saltville man’s shooting death was self-defense.

Police determined the domestic violence survivor fired a single shot from a handgun after McCloud had become physical, killing McCloud. An investigation revealed McCloud’s blood-alcohol content had been nearly three times the legal limit, and authorities noted a history of domestic violence in Alabama.

This all took place in the middle of January. Two months is not bad for a DA's office to make a determination of self-defense. And when you consider that the police had to finish their investigation, and the medical examiner had to finish the autopsy.

Compare this story to the self-defense story from yesterday, in which the DA doesn't care about Justice.

Self-defense is a human-right.
