The headlines are as hard to read as they are to believe. A mom, a model both victims of horrific homicides at the hands of “loved ones.”
Effie Ratley, 29, killed in 2007 by her husband Michael Ratley, when he beat her in the head with a hammer as she rested in bed. He was sentenced this week to life in prison for her murder. According to CNN, “Man goes from heroic husband to hammer-wielding wife killer.“
The former swimsuit model Jasmine Fiore, 28, was found Saturday stuffed into a suitcase inside a Dumpster. Her teeth and fingers had been removed. Her ex-husband, Ryan Alexander Jenkins, now wanted for the crime.
In an update to the story, CNN is reporting “Model’s breast implants prove key to identifying body.” According to police investigators, the victim’s Breast implants’ serial number helped identify the body.
As for Return 2 Vendor candidates, hard to overlook these two.
Reading stories like this, it’s hard not to quickly picture the “horrific” injures pop singer Rihanna suffered at the hands, fists actually, of convicted felon Chris Brown.
When will we as a country, a court system and a community stand up and aggressively pursue and prosecute (NO PLEA BARGAINING) those who abuse woman and children?
We are all victimized when we ignore, therefore permit, these types of assaults and homicides to continue.

That is not the writers intent. Defensive, misguided comments such as yours would only lead me to believe you, yourself are either an abuser or have been abused and have not dealt with it yet. What we in civilized society want is for all horrible and unnecessary crimes to stop And for the criminals, whatever gender they may be, who committ them, to be properly punished! There are an abundance of women doing life in prison for unspeakable crimes they've committed against men! So before you shoot off another hot aired comment without thinking first, maybe you should look deep inside of yourself and discover where and why you have such unresolved anger and gender issues.

I could not agree with you more!
Our general disrespect for others is the greatest disease known to humankind!

As a victim of domestic abuse, I applaud your raising awareness of these tragedies and the issue of domestic abuse. I am not naive enough to believe that women do not also abuse men but statistics, reports and prisons attest to the fact that the scale tips drastically towards male on female violence. How about this? Let's work towards eradicating violence as a whole? No one hurting anyone? No one lifting hands against another? Step one: respect others.
Hey yeah, let's blame the men and make the law biased against them, that'll fix everything!
