I guess this a$$hole did not know what a protection order is.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/10/robert-vann-marshall-shot-killed-wife-after-leaving-jail_n_3573778.html



Robert Vann Marshall, 34, allegedly broke an order of protection Saturday barring him from going anywhere near his wife. Earlier that day, he was thrown in the slammer and given the order because he allegedly threatened to kill his wife and children, WBIR reported.

At 1:27 p.m., he was released from jail. At 1:38 p.m., officers received a call from Marshall's wife at their McMinn County home, during which she claimed her husband was forcing his way inside the home. Police said he was irate, suicidal and possibly armed.
"His wife called 911 and was telling our dispatchers that he was trying to break into the residence," McMinn County Sheriff Joe Guy told WRCB. "She retreated into the back bedroom, and at some point fired a shot and he was killed."

Guy told reporters that an order of protection is "just a piece of paper," but said it's rare that the process ends in more violence.

Glad she put an end to that shit; he clearly wasn't going to be stopped otherwise.

3. In this instance, I'm glad that she was able to protect herself and can now truly live in peace.

I can't imagine anyone wanting to have left her helpless against her abusive former mate.
