Local court docket is full of men violating restraining orders granted

It isn't something you see every day but frequently. Judges admonish the perp who often has a "whatever look" on his face.

Often, these are frequent offenders in and out of the system. They don't take any consequence seriously.

Or they swear they will change, it was the alcohol or drugs. This time they are really sorry.

 It isn't always the case, but it is often. The consequence for the victim is often fatal.

Humboldt needs to hold these frequent offenders; these men and in some cases, women, accountable for their actions and send a strong message that abuse is never okay and breaking the law will not be tolerated.
