NY - Panic button couldn’t protect woman

Panic button couldn’t protect woman

Merline Port-Louis knew she was a woman in danger.

In the weeks before she was shot to death early Saturday morning, her estranged boyfriend, Marlon Fann, called and threatened to kill her and her family three times, Nassau police said.

Port-Louis took the appropriate measures: She made copies of the threats, filed charges with police and got a panic button to press in case of emergency.

But neither her efforts nor those of police were enough to stop Fann from pulling out a gun and shooting Port-Louis in the driveway of her New Cassel home, and then calling her mother and threatening to do the same to her and police if they tried to arrest him, police said.

*FW Note:

How sad that some people just don't "get it".  When the wolves come scratching at the door, THE POLICE WON'T BE THERE.

There's a high price to pay while waiting for the cavalry.

They may talk of a "New Order" in the  world, but what they have in mind is only a revival of the oldest and worst tyranny.   No liberty, no religion, no hope.   It is an unholy alliance of power and pelf to dominate and to enslave the human race.

Panic button couldn’t protect woman - of course not, panic buttons don't shoot bullets.  Mikey.

I will be tried by 12 of my peers, not carried by 6 of my friends.
