In my case, getting an Order of Protection finally got it through to an ex-boyfriend that what he was doing was serious and needed to stop. So he stopped. But I had a gun and eyes on the back of my head to reinforce that piece of paper.
I feel terribly sorry for that woman and her boyfriend. Some people are just nuts and no court order will stop them. Sometimes a gun won't even deter them because they're so nuts, especially if they're not afraid of dying in the end.
It's ludicrous my ex kept harrassing me and making threats when he knew I was armed!
An ambush is truly a scary thing. There's a chance of fighting back if you see it coming, but that chance gets diminished when someone stalks you and waits for when you're in a weak moment. If he was waiting in the woods with rifle and scope, we'd all be in deep trouble.
