Domestic Violence Offenders Giving Up Guns In Texas

By 11 Alive, May 31, 2015, NBC News

(NBC News) -- Since the first week of May, a sheriff's deputy stationed inside Dallas' DFW Gun Range has had a unique assignment: confiscate and catalog guns given up by domestic violence offenders.

It's the first time in Texas that government is teaming up with a private gun range to collect firearms from convicted batterers in Dallas County — and advocates hope it's an approach that can serve as a role model nationwide.

Dallas, where domestic homicides have been on the rise in recent years, is a prime place to start. Domestic violence has gotten so out of hand in Texas' third-largest city that Mayor Mike Rawlings previously told NBC News the crime is "the biggest act of terrorism," shrouded behind closed doors and spoken of in hushed tones.

NFL defensive end Ray McDonald is again under investigation for domestic violence following his third arrest in the past nine months.

And again it cost him his job: The Chicago Bears announced Monday afternoon they have released McDonald.

McDonald — who signed with the Bears this offseason after an accusation-marred stay with the San Francisco 49ers — was arrested Monday by Santa Clara, Calif., police on allegations of domestic violence and child endangerment.

McDonald was arrested after officers said he “physically assaulted the victim while she was holding a baby,” police said.

The 30-year-old McDonald has a 2-month-old son with his former fiancee, according to NBC Bay Area.

Gender Bias? Virginia Valdez Tries To Cut Off Husband’s Penis, Receives Only Probation And Community Service

Inquisitr, Jan. 25, 2015

According to the court documents, Virginia Valdez attacked her husband with a pair of scissors under the pretense of performing oral sex. The attack landed Cesar Valdez in the hospital and his penis required four stitches.

“I am here in front of you today to emphasize that male spouses can also be victims of domestic violence, but in some cases, men are afraid to talk for fear of ridicule or for fear of being labeled as some sort of freak or a wimp,” he said according to ABC 7. “There is no doubt in my mind that had I been the aggressor and not the victim my case would have been heard much sooner.”

NFL’s Ray McDonald Won’t Be Charged After Probe Of Fight

Karen Gullo, Nov. 10, 2014, Bloomberg

49ers defensive lineman Ray McDonald won’t face charges after a police investigation into an alleged act of domestic violence turned up insufficent evidence of a crime, a California prosecutor said.

McDonald was arrested in August on suspicion of domestic violence against his fiancee, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement today.

The fiancee struck McDonald during an argument at a birthday party at his home, and the two scuffled, with McDonald then forcibly attempting to remove the woman from the home, according to the statement. At 2:39 a.m. on Aug. 31 McDonald called police saying he needed to get “a female” out of his house and the fiancee called 911 two minutes later, resulting in McDonald’s arrest, Rosen said.
