@RajunCajun : They might be alright if the person is just annoying. But like my ex said, it will take awhile for the cops to get there.
Say they actually arrest them, they get out even more **** off. My coworker was attacked with a knife by her ex, he was in jail for 3 months. It's a whole lot of he said, she said and unless you can get an emergency one you have to make an appointment, go downtown, prove yourself to a case worker.
Bottom line, if you get caught up with someone like that you're screwed. If they don't kill you they make your life hell.
