All three had tried to use the system for protection.
Debbie Lynn Bonilla was trying to get her husband into batterer's treatment. Baerbel Roznowski had just gotten an anti-harassment order against her boyfriend.
Tracey Lee Creamer repeatedly called police after her husband bruised and bloodied her, hoping that someone would stop him.
Each woman had sought help from police or courts. But within a span of two weeks, each was slain in King County, allegedly by their partners.

Thought I'd see if I could help out with self-defense information, range training, etc.
They said they don't support that. Their recommendations include:
"At any one time people unconsciously carry many potential weapons. For example, belts may be used as a garrotte or a whip with the buckle, coins may be thrown into the face of an opponent to stun and blind him, clothes may be used to whip, ward off attacks, choke and obscure vision etc.
Most women carry handbags which can also be used to strike or strangle. In addition, these handbags contain an arsenal of potential, legal weapons e.g. a lipstick case to poke into the eyes, a hair brush to scratch across the eyes, perfume to spray into the eyes etc."
Great - coins and lipstick. Their poor clients truly don't stand a chance.
