BERKELEY, NJ — The family slain by an estranged family member had a restraining order against him at one point after experiencing his abuse for years, according to a report.

*** and *** 

Court records show Vaughn Stewart’s criminal history dating back to 2017, according to NJ.com. He was found not guilty of eight crimes, including aggravated assault with a knife and endangering the welfare of a child via a sex act. The details of that case are unknown.

Well, score another one for the complete ineffectiveness of the Gooferment politicians and bureaucrats to prevent criminals from violating a protective order.

I’ve ranted on this before; many times.   Back in 2006, I wrote about the uselessness of restraining orders.

I won’t repeat myself; you can read it if you want:

If the politicians and bureaucrats would pull their heads out of their <synonym for donkeys>, obeyed the Constitution, this woman might be alive today.

Argh!

I’d hand out “hunting licenses” to protect yourself with the Restraining Order!  The victim should be free to “stand their ground” and the perpetrator needs to stay far away.  

If need be, the Sheriff should have loaners and lessons at the time the order is issued.

No excuses. No recriminations.  Keep the criminals in jail if you’re worried about them as “targets”.

Argh!

Hopefully, that troubled individual is at peace now.  So sad.  I don’t know why they did that, but I hope someone finds out.

Nothing could be that bad.
