Actor in Custody After the Death of His Girlfriend's Cat

Submitted by Lesliescribe, Apr 27, 2007 18:19

Any man capable of beating a cat to death is also capable of extreme violence against women and children. The intense level of aggression displayed, in this case, is merely the beginning of a long campaign against his girlfriend's independence and individuality. The cat -- as someone loved by this young lady -- was the victim of his intense jealousy. Such "so-called men," are desperate in their compulsive obsession to control women through intimidation and violence. You see, these males are truly infantile in their discordant need to be the center of attention. As the former victim of domestic violence, I can assure you that this "so-called man's," VIOLENT, ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. In my own personal situation, dumping my peaceful, gentle and elderly pet cat, was the first episode in a year-long terrorizing campaign to destroy me as a woman and mother. While human beings are singular individuals in some ways as demonstrated through finger print and iris eye patterns, domestic abusers follow a behavioral pattern that is eerily predictable. They always have a misogynistic need to take women apart: emotionally, spiritually, socially, intellectually and physically. I will bet that a professional interview with the female owner of the cat victim would be most forthcoming with reports of the pattern and would be tantamount to this response: "he was jealous of my family, parents and friends. One by one he wanted to eradicate the people in my life that he viewed as threatening due to their love and friendship. He was isolating, intimidating and carried a temper that, if triggered, was frightening and volatile." Such a temper was obviously tripped by this poor cat. Let us consider the ratio: a 205 pound baseball player VS a 7 pound cat. Such "so-called men," are truly self-absorbed cowards who are devoid of compassion and are wrought with insecurity as well as miniscule self respect. He needs help, but I will bet that someday all too soon you will read a news account down the road that details his physical abuse of a woman or a child that he beat to death because the wee one's mother didn't give him enough attention. If this violent episode was allowed to escalate, without recourse or consequence -- his girlfriend would be next. Let us hope that she has the good sense to sever all ties with this "wimpy juvenile" in lieu of a MAN who is smart, compassionate, CONFIDENT and loving. In other words: A REAL MAN, not one elevated by our violent-loving society because he's a jock.
