Watch them cash in on Mary Catherine White

Shawn Roe, hell holds a special place for you…

I was a little busy when the story broke on Mary Catherine White losing her job as a teacher at Nisqually Middle School for packing a gun for protection, so I didn’t get a chance to blog on it.

She was right and she did exactly the right thing.

Question: Where was the DV industry on helping Mary protect herself?

Answer: Nowhere, because it didn’t involve extorting money or kids with a protection order or creating 11 new positions in L&I to go and fine the school for not giving Mary paid leave. With the exception of her parents, Mary White was on her own.

Mary realized how worthless the DV industry and the courts are at protecting actual victims and took matters into her own hands. Notice how Mary chose to stop being a victim subject to Roe’s terror?

Bet your ass the DV industry will be front and center at the next hearing for Shared Parenting in the legislature equating EVERY father in divorce and custody battle to be Shawn Roe. They will argue that every woman claiming to be Mary should get de facto full custody of the kids and the alleged Roe should be forever wiped out of their kids lives- no proof required; sort of how things already operate here in Thurston’s courts. The DV industry does this in spite of the fact that Shared Parenting legislation has a ton of safeguards accounting for abuse and neglect.

Shawn Roe wasn’t a criminal for DV - he was a perpetrator of violence to anyone in his path.

After the tragedy of the murders of Kristine Fairbanks and Richard Ziegler have faded from the public eye- proponents of Shared Parenting will be hearing the DV industry using Mary’s situation as a case study of how women in trouble cannot get help and are abused for ages with no hope for escape. Every year they trot out some victim who turns on the water works in front of the legislature- and every year the bill dies in committee. Republican Val Stevens seems to be one of the buyers of this dog and pony show- yet the DV industry is currently stabbing her in the back for a hand puppet named Wasler.

I have to note the irony that Mary’s story was largely ignored by police and the courts. That’s because when every woman they talk to claims to be Mary, nobody gets to be Mary.*

That doesn’t make the Roe’s go away- it just means a lot of hapless and innocent guys get the same handling as Roe while the real Roes still go on to kill.

Why? Because the Domestic Violence industry is not about protection or prevention, it’s about the racket of fleecing broken families and activist therapy for a bunch of mentally unstable men-haters claiming to speak for all women. It’s about next year’s grant money to Thurston County for slinging 20% more protection or creating an even bigger “special DV court” for handing out even MORE worthless protection orders. In the end, everyone gets screwed but the guys and gals collecting the money. But hey- maybe someone will give Ed, Chris and Paula some more artwork to hang in Thurston’s courthouse depicting all men as Shawn Roe.




*Coincidentally, Representative Geoff Simpson’s wife claims to be a Mary on every 3rd 911 call.
