      Different women are sometimes strangely attracted to violent men. They of course do not get to choose what turns them on. They can witness the fact that "bad boys" turn them on if they are paying attention. These kinds of women steam roll or totally ignore nice guys. It is what it is.

      Also the reason why I brought up her departure from her husband was because of many people leave reasonable committed relationships to pursue new relationships the following:
      - they easily get manipulated with lies and superficial charm
      - they also have been conditioned into thinking that there is someone out there, for them, called "The ONE" (or soulmates). And this "ONE" will always be handsome, tall, witty, funny, charming, romantic, successful, 100% responsive to their emotions, etc...

      @@troy3456789 This is not an either-or situation.
      Here is what we now know about codependency. According to Wikipedia, "In psychology, codependency is a theory that attempts to explain imbalanced relationships where one person enables another person's self-destructive behavior such as addiction, poor mental health, immaturity, irresponsibility, or under-achievement. Definitions of codependency vary, but typically include high self-sacrifice, a focus on others' needs, suppression of one's own emotions, and attempts to control or fix other people's problems. People who self-identify as codependent exhibit low self-esteem, but it is unclear whether this is a cause or an effect of characteristics associated with codependency. Codependency is not limited to married, partnered, or romantic relationships, as co-workers, friends, and family members can be codependent as well."
      Here is what we now know about epigenetics, which according to Wikipedia is 'in biology, epigenetics are stable heritable traits that cannot be explained by changes in DNA sequence, and the study of a type of stable change in cell function (known as a mark) that does not involve a change to the DNA sequence. The Greek prefix epi- (ἐπι- "over, outside of, around") in epigenetics implies features that are "on top of" or "in addition to" the traditional (DNA sequence based) genetic mechanism of inheritance. Epigenetics usually involves a change that is not erased by cell division, and affects the regulation of gene expression. Such effects on cellular and physiological phenotypic traits may result from environmental factors, or be part of normal development. They can lead to cancer.'
      For instance, through exposure to high concentrations of neurotoxins, cognitive-emotional brain structure, function, and chemistry can be thrown off balance, such as when the anxiety hormone Cortisol, which mediates the freeze, flight, fight, and/or fawn response is elevated for a prolonged period of time through a deficiency of physiological, safety, love and belonging, and growth needs during critical growth periods of the human developmental life span from womb to tomb. Researchers in trauma-sensitive care are aware that the brain grows from the bottom-up and recovers from the top-down from a range of Adverse Childhood Experiences. A good empirical and experiential education is important to self-esteem/self-confidence and self-actualization in coping with life's challenges and moral transcendence in a U-turn back toward God's face beyond the narcissistic self to selflessness, as children learn what they live by means of combinations of group dynamics. Apart from a personal relationship with God, parental abuse and/or neglect result in siblings forming codependent relationships with each other, while huddling together in self-soothing ritualistic behavior and in subsequently forming friendships with others who share similar bad parenting experiences. In my opinion, this is the basis for unholy relationships, which perpetuate addictive behavior, such as substance abuse, across generations.

      The real problem in this case is addiction and the violent tendencies of this guy when drinking. She should have known better than to take him out drinking while on parole for getting violent with a woman while drinking.

      I thought so too. It made me think he was getting back at a "mommy" figure, or was punished being forced to pull down his pants by a dad with mommy unable to stop it- so many subconscious reasons to hate a woman, most seem to begin in fear in the home they grew up in. The fact both of his partners acted like they loved him, tried to appease and reassure him but only heightened his determination to kill them while undressed tells me he is a psychopath, and that the alcohol only loosens him up to do what he secretly wants to do while sober. He's playing a role sober, and being himself when drinking, and it seems to do with betrayal, perhaps even being a "trans" or a regression to childhood punishment when being spanked and being very fearful. He doesn't seem to be compelled to go out and murder/rape just any random woman, just ones he allows to get close to him w/out him being close at all. Fear to resentment to blind hatred. Doesn't use a brick, or a hammer or a gun - the amateur psychologist in me says he's basically a frustrated girl in a male body; and somebody in his early years made him ashamed and frightened, repeatedly. Drunk he doesn't want to rape them, he wants total control and them to fear him, suffer until he can cut their heads off.....Or he's a clever snake who may think rightly he could get a lesser sentence because of his "illness", as in "alcoholism is a disease", just like he did before, and is basically a serial killer, w/benefits. He somehow needs a relationship with a woman before he gets to the point of secretly wanting her dead in his daylight, sober phase, then deliberately gets inebriated to find fault with her, and is intrepid in insisting she's guilty of something that weakens him in his own eyes, reminds him of a time he was powerless and humiliated and physically hurt/or some horrendous betrayal or failure by the first female in his life. I actually don't have a clue, but it's speculating about the difference between say, a Ted Bundy, and that Drew Peterson kind of man. (The one who drowns his wives with his bare hands in bathtubs...?) And this guy taking off his clothes has to have some very strong connection to the acting out, IMHO. (It's sad to think his last victim felt so desperate to have a man in her life she created a fantasy world to be with someone like this. Or had a lifetime of magical thoughts before he turned up in it.)🤷😱

So minimum, in fact, that if you drove on the back road where the facility was, you could see inmates playing baseball or fishing on the little bridge you drive over. But in that year, or within a couple years, there were a number of incidents where some prisoners did some awful things in the public. One man hijacked a car using a hatchet. Another man murdered a young teacher in the hotel he was a janitor in a work-release program. I actually saw one escapee calling for a ride at the local bar. Later that night, the police chief knocked on my car window while I was making out with my girlfriend, and asked me if I had seen anything because there was an escaped prisoner. I told him what I saw, a guy at the bar earlier who looked like he was trying to be secretive and using the phone and telling whoever he was talking to where to pick him up.
    But in my friend's case, the prisoner she "dated" sliced her face 22 times with a knife. She lie there covered in blood pleading with the man to just let her die. He left, but she didn't die and is alive today, but her face had terrible scars for life. I really can't explain women, this thing they have about "bad boys," that often turns out like the rest of us would expect.

He had to take a greyhound bus home the next day and I refused to pick him up at the bus station.

    The fear of being alone is profound enough in some to lull them into taking huge chances; they ignore historical evidence and ongoing evidence of peril every single day until it is too late. The alcohol just offered a break from acknowledging the danger for a while, and then it became the accelerant to the fire that had always been smoldering.

HORRIBLE case that started out with the defendant,, her first name is Brittany I can't remember her last name, claiming that both her and jana, the other store employee, were accosted by two robbers and Brittany was s assaulted while Jana was murdered....... Turned out Brittany was lying,, she wasn't actually s assaulted,, Jenna had caught her stealing something and Brittany became so enraged she just snapped....... And at one point in the trial, her attorney just basically said, yes, Brittany did it....... She snapped......

      ​​​​@@pipermccool..there are some like that,, once when I was waiting for my pretrial for drugs,, this public pretender who was defending this black guy, said, your honor my client claims he's the victim of racist treatment by the police and by the homeowner. My client was traveling down the road with his friend, the car broke down, and my client went to get help...... He went to a farmhouse door at 2:00 a.m., knocked, and even though it was pretty warm decided that it was an emergency so he had to go in the house to use the phone...... The door was unlocked, my client denies forcing the door even though there was evidence that the door was forced, and was looking around for the telephone. My client was using a flashlight that he brought along because he thought he might need to look for a telephone in the middle of the night, and my client was ooking in drawers and in the pantry closet only because my client was searching for the telephone. My client said he didn't turn on a light because he already had a flashlight, and he was so shocked when the homeowner appeared with his own flashlight, holding a 12 gauge shotgun, that a knife that my client didn't bring with him and that wasn't from inside the house, magically appeared in his hand, and when the homeowner said drop the knife and turn on the light, boy, my client immediately did as he was asked, and immediately lay on the floor when the big bad white homeowner told him to and proceeded to call the police. When the police got there, they asked my client, a black man from inner city minneapolis, what he was doing cruising with his friend in the middle of the night in a rural area 35 mi north of the city where he didn't know anyone. My client explained his story,, he and a friend were looking for an apple orchard that they could visit when it got light (and apparently when it got to be September because this was early may,, 1992,, in central Minnesota) said the homeowner was just a big bad racist who doesn't understand that black people should be allowed to just open people's doors and root around for things in the middle of the night,, that he wanted to charge the homeowner for basically kidnapping or some related stupid ass s***, and the cops just chuckled and said, we'll see what happens in court....... The homeowners shotgun was not taken,, mainly because there wasn't a round in there when the police got there,, and anyway that my client is claiming to be completely innocent.
      Prosecuting attorney starts asking, you say you were with your friend right? Yeah. And you say your friend's car broke down so you went to get help. Yeah. So why didn't the police find your friend or his car when they got there? He must have got it running. And he didn't come back to pick you up? No. And he was your friend? Yes. So you say you went to the homeowners door and knocked is that right? Yeah. And they didn't answer? No. So you went in? Yeah. Did you force entry? No. The police report says the door looks like it was forced. Maybe someone forced it some other time. Uh-huh. So you already had a flashlight when you went in? Yeah. Do you always carry a flashlight when you're cruising in a car? I think the defense attorney objected to that because it was irrelevant or something, and the prosecutor just waved it off and said,, so you were looking for a telephone. Yeah. In drawers and in the refrigerator. Well I don't know where people keep their telephone. But you didn't turn on the light to make it easier for you to see the telephone. I guess I didn't think of it. So when the homeowner came in, what happened? He called me the n-word and told me to get my butt on the floor or he blow my head off. So you got on the floor? Yeah. Did he ask you why you were in his house? Yeah.
      At this point the prosecutor just sat there and waited, just staring at the guy. I was staring back and forth like it was a tennis match, a purely incredulous look on my face, and the prosecutor finally said loudly, AND YOU F****** SAID? I was looking for a phone. So you say in the statement, the homeowner was a racist. Yeah. Why? Because he thought I was there to steal something. Did he ask if you were there to steal something? No. Your friend had pretty good luck, getting his car running and making it back home. But of course, with the situation, we have to look for him too. Pause. You wouldn't want to tell us his name, maybe he can confirm your story? No I better not.
      No further questions your honor.
      I couldn't help it, it wasn't my case and it wasn't my business but I started laughing..... The judge didn't really buy it either and set the guy's bail at $100,000 or some ungodly sum,, I was being charged with having an amphetamine lab and my bail was only $40,000...
      Point is you won't BELIEVE what some attorneys will say, even if they're not being paid for it really.......

    I quit drinking 13 years ago after two trips to rehab and it is my experience that as addiction is such a personal thing in why people drink, that the ways and reasons that they can change or be unreasonable when drunk, are a personal “thing” as well and usually are consistent. That is why some alcoholics constantly repeat stories or talk about the same subjects consistently when they are intoxicated. If someone is violent only when intoxicated, then it’s usually a good rule of thumb to avoid that person when they drink alcohol.

He just didn't love her enough to change. He won't hurt me cause I'm somehow better than her." Just complete disrespect and disregard for this woman. She somehow thought that she wouldn't make the same mistakes or mess up or make him mad ever, which just implies that Michelle must have somehow done something wrong, something so outrageous that this good normal gentle man was driven to blind homicidal rage.
