CSI New York Airs A Very Touching Episode

A lot of what we see on TV is useless for anything other than temporary entertainment but last nights CSI New York episode touched on a very serious topic. The episode started with a woman committing suicide by jumping out of a window and later moved on to a woman killing a man and staging ‘the perfect’ crime-scene. As the episode moved forward… it was discovered that the person that committed the murder was a stalking victim that was trying to reclaim her freedom because the police couldn’t stop the stalker from stalking her.

After growing up around ‘many’ women that were sexually abused this particular episode really made me feel something. Instead of feeling sympathy for the victim it made me feel sympathy for the murderer because she was a victim as well.

This young lady had changed her identity more than once and moved to a new area in an attempt to get away from her stalker. Her efforts weren’t enough as the stalker continued to follow her everywhere that she went, which caused her to take the law into her own hand.

The episode ends with the police catching and arresting the stalking victim… but did she really do anything wrong?

Her stalker took away her life, took away her identity and took away her home. I consider what she did to be self defense and can’t agree with a woman being jailed for having murdered someone that was stalking her.

Everyone deserves a chance at life and stalkers take away peoples right to live. No one should have to live in fear… and a person should have the right to defend themselves against anything that truly makes them terrified.

I’m not saying that a woman should have the right to murder someone that stalks them without taking proper measures to get away from the stalker. In extreme cases though, were a woman tries to get away from a stalker and the stalker still manages to find them and follow them… anything a woman does from that point forward is what I would consider ‘self-defense’.

Dallas Police Officer Resigns After Traffic Stop With NFL Player

On March 18, 2009 Ryan Moats attempted to evade a peace officer by ignoring the lights and sirens of the police cruiser for more than 45 seconds. After Moats finally stopped at the hospital, Robert Powell pulled his service weapon and aimed it at passengers as they flooded out of the vehicle, which is a perfectly normal and rational police response after a reckless driver attempts to evade a peace officer.

Ryan Moats had run a red light and refused to stop when the police officer attempted to stop him. Once the police officer finally caught up with him, Ryan Moats initially refused to give the police officer his drivers’ license or proof of insurance, which cause the police officer to react and a more provocative manner.

This incident was being investigated by the Dallas Police but Robert Powell has decided to resign instead of waiting for the investigation to get completed.

I certainly disagree with a few of the things that Robert Powell did but I also agree with some of the things that he did. The only reason Ryan Moats missed being at the side of his mother-in-law when she died was because he refused to stop for a peace officer and then gave Robert Powell a serious attitude once he finally did stop by refusing to hand over his license or proof of insurance.
