I was told about this incident the other day and have to ask the people who were witnesses to this horrific crime in front of Medgar Evers College where is their outrage?
A video of the occurrence and a transcript of what happened to a woman who was attacked and shot by her husband in broad daylight can be found here. If this woman had been attacked by a man in uniform, then we would see equal rights groups pounding the pavement screaming for justice. But this is a domestic violence dispute, so there lies the quagmire. Did she ask for this? She is married to the perp so did she deserve this? Why is it that whenever this happens to a woman who is in a relationship with the perp that it is just swept under the rug or ignored completely by society. When this woman's husband was threatening her, those within her reach turned a blind eye...didn't want to get involved or help her. It wasn't until she was bleeding on the pavement with bullets in her back did someone call 911 and stay by her side.
Why can't there be outrage? Especially outrage from the men in their community.

I agree there should be more of an outrage when a woman is the victim of domestic violence. The Outrage needs to start before a woman loses her life.
