I know that no one wants to say it... But I will...
When will people ever start to exercise better judgment?
Travis Alexander didn't deserve to die... However... He used ridiculous judgment. If you didn't want a real relationship with Arias, why keep having her come over for booty calls? If you really thought she was a crazy stalker jealous girl, why invite her over late at night for a sex romp? If you really thought she was "evil" and "unstable" why put yourself in a completely helpless position in your own shower?
This whole Powell situation is one bad call after another.
Steven Powell has admitted to being addicted to porn and having an obsession with kiddies before he even hit puberty. You mean to tell me that the person who procreated with him to spawn Josh Powell and that messed up family didn't know about any of that? There weren't any red flags during their courtship? During the early marriage?
Susan, what the hell were you thinking? For someone who was supposedly "active" in the Mormon faith, was there anything in Josh which resembled a responsible and faithful priesthood holder? In your entire courtship with Josh, did you really not see anything "weird" about him? So he "suddenly" out of "no where" became a jackass? In your early marriage before you had those 2 kids, you really didn't see any red flags? Was Susan suffering from incredibly low self esteem and allowed Josh to take advantage of her?
These folks all use incredibly poor judgment to put themselves in vulnerable positions to crazy and evil people. They play with fire and then we all act surprised when they get burned? You date or marry an unstable person and the question doesn't become IF they lash out but WHEN.
I have a family on my street. Completely jacked up. The parents abused the kids, the kids have since abused others, and no one in the entire family progresses. They live off welfare, looking up more kiddie porn and playing WOW. One of the kids (who is probably in his mid 30s now) has been arrested for just about anything you can imagine. Sex crimes, drugs, violence, theft, etc... Well, he began dating this one girl. He impregnated her. And now she's pissed that he doesn't have a job and won't pay child support. What the hell were you thinking? I get it I get it, she herself was probably trailer trash... But what were you expecting when you sleep with a dude who has spent more time in prison than Birdman in tattoo parlors.
Travis Alexander, Susan Powell, etc all played with fire and got burned.
Travis? Date someone... Anyone... Not crazy. And stop using girls for your own gratification you jackass.
Susan? Why would you ever date such a narcissistic jackass like Josh Powell? What about his family was attractive? They all seem like complete losers. She should have gone to the local singles ward and dated anyone else. Men aren't your personal projects. Date men who are already fine gentlemen and treat you like you deserve to be treated.
