I like how they don't want to exclude the possibility of informing on current partners.  :facepalm:

Y'all just think it's funny because you don't have any exes that might. I sure do.

I don't think it's all that funny. This is the government promoting doxxing, and when somebody gets killed, it won't be the government going to jail.

Fortunately I should be far enough removed from my ex wife that she wouldn't do something like this.

It was an amicable enough break up, but she was still a bit on the crazy side.

No, it's not doxing. It might be swatting, or it might be informing or snitching, but it's not doxing.

Sorry, meant swatting. From the posting time it looks like I was only on my first cup of coffee.  =D

You should have downed the second cup, instead of throwing it at Millcreek's receptionist.

By the way buddy, can you post my bail?

Would it be fair to say that these tactics sound very similar to what the East German Stazi was doing years ago?  [barf]

Would be willing to be a lot of tips to the BATFE and police in general come from disgruntled romantic partners.

Oh hell yeah.

My brother was going to a doctor who was going through a really messy divorce.

She upped the ante and reported him to a variety of enforcement agencies. DEA, IRS, etc.

IIC he'll be eligible for parole sometime around 2040.

Yep
And most of the red flag laws being proposed would mean just one phone call by them and you lose your 2A rights automatically, possibly forever

Y'know, the more I think of it, the more I'm coming to the conclusion that governments don't like the idea of their people having guns.

When I split with Jen, I just LEFT. What I could put in a van and a 6x12 enclosed trailer.
 
Let me put it this way - I left my copy of Unintended Consequences.
 
I was never around her after that without MY witnesses being present.

I think Heinlein had something in one of his books about not owning anything more than you could carry in both hands at a dead run.


Divorce: The Court ordered that an adult had to be present when a bud visited with his kid or went anywhere with the child.  He had a hard time finding people who would do this for him, but I agreed.

It was another one of those vengeance things by his old lady, at least to hear him tell it. But I have no real reason to doubt him, given other war stories from other divorces.

He disappeared after a couple of those visiting sessions, no doubt at the aforementioned dead run. I never found out what happened or where he went or anything, and
I sure as hell didn't want to ask his ex.

Sad.
