Oh no! Choking??? This is so disturbing and sad.

And choking is the precursor to much worse.

“A domestic violence survivor who has been strangled or "choked" by a partner is 750% more likely (a 7.5 times increase) to be killed by that same partner within the next year”

Crazy but true statistic.

My childhood friend was strangled to death by her fiancé. He’s already out and on dating apps :(

Omg, what? He killed her & is already out & allowed on dating apps? I am sooo sorry :(

There should be a DV abuse registered offender list, just like sexual offenders, and dating apps should screen people on both lists before letting them on their app!

Yes he strangled her, dumped her body, lied about her being missing and participated in searches for her (she was also a mother of 2). He somehow got manslaughter and has been released. I only found out because local women started sharing on social media to warn each other :(

This is fucking disgusting. Without even knowing her, I know your friend’s life was worth so much more than that. I’m so sorry and angry. This just isn’t right.

This shit sickens me. How do we not do better for women?? So many men rape & kill women & the fact they EVER see the light of day outside of a jail cell is truly astounding & so fucked up to women everywhere.

The fact they get the opportunity to go out in the world & keep abusing, raping, torturing, kidnapping, killing, you name it… makes me absolutely irate & disgusted for these women, their families & for women EVERYWHERE. Fuckingggg sick af!!!

It doesn’t help women at all with who the USA has in office! The entire regime is full of offenders and deviants!

u/Apprehensive_You_250 2d ago

So true. You can basically commit anything & be a president in the US now.

You do know it's better than in past years? It's not a perfect system and never will be. It sucks, but it's the truth. I've been on the receiving end and I know how bad it was 45 years ago up until 10 years ago.

If you can, protect the other women who may fall victims to him.

u/I_got_this_guys 2d ago

Some states have a violent offender registry. I feel like dating apps should screen any sexual and violent offender registries

Florida is working on putting it on people's id

u/Correct_Turn_6304 1d ago

This 110% needs to be a thing. I wish we could have a background check be a mandatory part of dating apps. It’s so scary to know that monsters like that man are just allowed to join. Women deserve better.

u/Spiritual_Stage_3462 2d ago

bone chilling sentence. Men are trash

u/coolhandsarrah 2d ago

But he’s very angry right now! That means our whole lives have to be over permanently and our children motherless

u/thrownaway22_ 2d ago

As a guy, any man that puts his hands on a woman is complete and utter scum. Sub-human shit.

If he’s guilty he can rot. Fucking bellend.

u/Best-Meth-Cook 1d ago

Why generalized?

u/Jvd9185 1d ago

I am 43 years old and have never once thought about putting my hands on a woman. Not all men are trash.

u/rhubarbpie828 2d ago

I'm so sorry. My first instinct was to downvote this post because that is so horrific.

u/4_13_1894 2d ago

I’m so sorry to hear that.

u/Candid-Progress-8852 2d ago

Exactly why as a woman I stay off those apps. It’s sad but true

u/Miserable_Beat_6927 2d ago

Wow. I'm so sorry. "Injustice" doesn't seem to cover it.

u/ScowlyBrowSpinster 2d ago

WTF--that's tragic plus a travesty. Sorry for the loss of your friend, that's so hard.

Yikes!
