fresh air, mountains, and witness intimidation ๐ฒ๐๐จ
lol
you think colorado
is all mountains and fresh air?
โฐ๏ธ๐ฆ๐ฒ
โ
fucking please.
itโs a literal disaster zone
for anyone trying to report
some violent assholes
for domestic violence.
โญ๏ธ๐ค ๐ซ
because like
โฆ
๐ฅ victims step up,
and what do they get?
a giant
middle finger from the universe
๐ฅ๐๐ฅ
in the form
of witness intimidation.
๐ฅ๐๐จ๐ขโ
โ
approximately
78% of non-prosecuted felony DV cases
in colorado
are dismissed or declined
because victims are too
intimidated to cooperate.
itโs enough to make you
want to throw a brick
through a fucking window.
๐งฑ๐จ๐ช
โ
letโs talk about
the fucking numbersโ
if you can even
call them that,
because
theyโre probably
goddamn low-balling it.
๐ช๏ธ๐ฅ๐ข
one in six
of these DV reports?
straight-up evidence of stalking.
โ
but babe!
between
2018 and 2021,
only 108 people
actually got convicted
for this felonious bullshit.
108?
are you fucking kidding me? ๐ข๐ฅ๐คฏ๐ข
108 convictions
for intimidating a witness
between 2018 and 2021??
in three years for a state
with over five million people?
๐จ๐ง๐๐จ๐ฅ
god fucking dammit.
โ
there were
๐ฅ๏ธ 72 domestic violence-related deaths
๐ฅ๏ธ in colorado
๐ฅ๏ธ in 2024 alone,
+ up from 58 the previous year.
๐ฅ๏ธ 8 goddamn children
๐ฅ๏ธ were killed in 2024โ
๐ฅ๏ธ the highest number of child fatalities
๐ฅ๏ธ ever recorded in colorado
โdue to domestic violence.
jesus christ. ๐ซจ๐ข
โ
yoโ
๐ฅ what the fuck are we doing? ๐ฅ
holy shit.
๐ฅโ๏ธ๐ฅ
in denver,
they filed
60 felony cases
for this in two years,
and meanwhile,
60% of cases nationwide
are getting tossed
because victims areโ
fucking shockerโ
scared out of their goddamn minds.
๐๐๐๐ฅ๐งฑ๐จ๐ช
โ
and don't even
get me goddamn started
on the fucking "tactics."
๐คก๐ฅ๐ฑ
these assholes don't
just stop at hitting;
NAH sweetieโ
they send their
pitiful sidebitches
and "demon squads"
to pressure the victim.
๐ซจ๐ข
โ
"oh, think of the family!"
๐ฃ๏ธ๐ฅ fucking please.
โฆ
homie.
itโs a crime,
and
colorado finally
pulled its head
out of its own ass
๐๏ธโ๏ธโท๏ธ
with SB22-024
to make that a felony.
๐
โ
baby!
then youโve got
"tampering,"
๐ ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐
where these
goddamn idiots
think they can just
ignore a fucking court order.
โฆ
๐๐ช๐ฉธ
and for what?
so it can escalate
to the point where
13% of murders
in this fucking state
are from intimate partners?
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
itโs goddamn disgusting. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฃ๏ธ๐ข
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
yeah,
fucking sure,
the state
claims theyโre
doing something now.
โ
so we got
"lethality assessments"๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
whoo,
some fancy-ass words forโ
"trying to figure out if you're gonna die."
๐๐โจ๐๏ธ
theyโve got the
victim rights act
and some
๐ฅ automated notification system ๐ฅ
so you know when
the jerkoff gets out of jail.
โ๐ฅ๐จ
โ
sick,
great.
about fucking time.
๐๐๐
๐ ๐
๐ ๐
๐ ๐
๐๐๐
damn.
look honey,
if youโre getting harassed
after reporting,
donโt just sit there.
๐ฅ๐
tell them to
(respectfully)
do their jobs. ๐ฅ
because look:
that shit is a fucking felony. ๐คซ๐ค
โ
โ๏ธโ๐
postscript bitchโ
โฆ
i say this,
while alsoโ
truthfully giving
goddamn owed respect
โจ๐โจ
where itโs fucking due.
โ
LISTEN.
๐๏ธ
for me??
i
got
fucking
lucky.
yo.
๐ซท๐ฅบ๐ซธ
i felt believed. โค๏ธโจ
โฆ
nah truly.
maybe hit
the miracle
dreamteam ๐๐ฅโจ
of people
who seemed
to actually give a fuck.
โจ๐งโ๐คโ๐ง๐งโ๐คโ๐ง๐ซ
(i mean that shit)
โ
yo.
not all heroes wear capes.
some of them manage
to sound calm โจ๐๏ธ
while the rest of us are
one goddamn threat away
from becoming
a fucking dateline episode.
โจโ๐ฌ๐ค
โ
so yes,
i can drag
the fucking system ๐
and still say mad respect
to the real ones inside it.
some of yโall
are the reason
victims make it
to the next hearing
without spiritually evaporating.
โ๏ธ๐๏ธ๐ฎ
โ
so god fucking bless
๐ฏ๏ธ the ones who actually read the file.
๐ฏ๏ธ the ones who read the danger
๐ฏ๏ธ the first fucking time.
๐ฏ๏ธ the ones who returned the call,
๐ฏ๏ธ explained the hearing,
๐ฏ๏ธ tracked the intimidation,
and
did
not
act like
my desperation
was a fucking inconvenience.
or that
this was a story
i was telling
for goddamn attention.
