EAST ST. LOUIS, MO (KTVI)– A history of domestic violence may have led to the death of a young East St. Louis mother found dead in her home over the weekend.
Police received a disturbance call at about 9pm on Saturday. When they arrived at the Gompers Public Housing Complex, they found 25-year-old Michelle Rowling stabbed several times in her apartment.
Rowling, a mother of two young children, was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Family members believe 25-year-old Montrell Cooper killed her because she was trying to move on with her life without him. They say he assaulted Rowling a few times in the past and had served time in the St. Clair County Jail for the crimes. They say he threatened to kill Rowling while behind bars. When he was released from jail November 25th they say he carried out the threat.[/quote]

That's really fucked up; I feel sorry for her children.
We need more gun control!

Why the fuck would you say shit like this, just to start another pointless argument?
This shit should be bannable.
thats so sad she knew she was going to be done by the time police arrived. It is even more depressing to know that she was updating from a cell phone and could have easily dialed for 911 in the amount of time it took her to post on facebook

The truth hit a little too close to home there, bud?
How many women are going to get stabbed by crazy ex boyfriends before people allow them to defend themselves?

He didn't use a gun

I agree..she had all the advantage in this situation knowing what was headed her way.
One of the few cases where calling the Police would have actually saved someones life.

What's that?
People can kill other people without using a firearm?
You're getting somewhere.

This seriously isn't the time to preach about your gun fetish.

Oh damn you got me..
Congrats for exposing that all gun owners don't actually care about defending themselves, they just like to insert their genitalia into the chambers of their weapons repeatedly.

are you trying to make "arguing belligerently about inappropriate bullshit" a pro sport because bravo guy
[QUOTE=Burque-IL;43064887]We need more gun control![/QUOTE]
Read the article.
Unless you're trying to be witty. In that case, go away.

It will truly be a new meaning to the term, "Sarcastaball".

yo, i believe that people have the right to own nearly whatever kind of firearm but this is not the time or place to stir up shit like you're deliberately doing
[QUOTE=Burque-IL;43064929]Yes, Sir. It will truly be a new meaning to the term, "Sarcastaball".[/QUOTE]
what are you doing
stop while you still can
Couldn't anything be done to keep him away from her? Like a witness protection program?
My condolescences to the kids. I can't even imagine how harsh it has been- is, and will be- for them.

There are many things she could have done to prevent this.
Calling the Cops for one might've worked provided they were willing to place an unmarked cruiser or something of the sort a few houses down.
If she was anticipating that, why not hide/flee/prepare to defend and also call for help?

What should I do instead?
Should I shed internet tears about an easily preventable tragedy?
I'm really sorry for this woman and especially her children.
But the right answer is to prevent this sort of shit. Not get on facebook like, "oh noez, ex bf gets out of jail today lulz he gon be pissed" while your children are in the other room watching Spongebob about to unknowingly witness their mothers death.

Exactly.
Call for help and prepare to defend would be the ideal answers but any of the above would've done.

What? I was pointing out how you literally jumped the gun with the gun control debate in this thread, and now you've writing a gun kama sutra in graphic detail.

annnnnd the crazy ex boyfriends could have guns as well. it's really a pointless argument to make and all you're doing is shitting up a thread with your insane guy ramblings

Speaking as someone who revels in arguing on SH, you're getting shit thrown at you because not only did you start the argument on purpose, you did so in one of the most monumentally stupid ways possible.
[QUOTE=Elspin;43064976]annnnnd the crazy ex boyfriends could have guns as well. [/QUOTE]
This one didn't.
All the more reason to match them with offensive abilities.
If you don't, the cops certainly will, but why not eliminate the middle man?
Well Burque-IL the important thing is that you managed to find a way to blame the woman for not correctly defending herself
I don't want to sound like a dick but, she really should have called the cops or ran instead of texting
I mean, god damn, really, she could still be alive.
I mean there was probably no way to run but, what the fuck? I'm not trying to blame her or say she's dumb for not defending herself, but come on... unless she was forced to say goodbye I can't even imagine anything to have lead to this, except if she was hiding under a bed?

I totally expected the backlash, dude. Don't let my join date fool you into thinking I don't know how facepunch works.
It was a post out of frustration more than anything else.
Shit like this is easily preventable.

It's hard to not blame the woman when she was posting on facebook instead of preparing with the information she knew at the time.
God rest her soul, but hopefully her kids have more logic and reasoning than she did.

the fact that you called the police the "middle man" is pretty skeevish

jesus fucking christ you're the worst poster of 2013
Anyways, it sucks that the time to post on Facebook mobile could have been better used to call 911, but at the same time we don't really know the circumstances and we don't know if the time of attack would have fallen in the gap left by response time.
Hopefully they catch him quickly.
