Why isn’t more being done about anger management? If this guy Cutts had learned respect for other peoples lives he would not have been in the position to kill his ex-girlfriend and their unborn child. If he had been forced to take action to control his anger and his abusive tendencies, then this woman would be alive and this ‘police officer’ would not be on his way to prison where we are all going to have to support him. Society lost two productive members, (three when you count the fetus), a police force and community lost an law enforcement officer, two families lost a father, albeit not a very loving one, and one family lost a son. And don’t give me that ‘alleged’ crap because he already confessed, even though his lawyer will tell him to lie in court to the judge and say he is not guilty.
Months before this tragedy happened, a California court suspended contact between him and his 9-year-old daughter based on evidence that he was emotionally and physically abusive, court documents show. Why wasn’t he directed to get help to control his abuse in addition to being told he can’t see his kid? Was his employer warned of his tendencies? I doubt it. I’m sure the courts hands are tied from going that far. And I’ll wager that they are happy with the fact that they are not ‘required by law’ to take those steps. What about ‘moral law’. Nobody wants to hear about that.
This, by the way, is how this society handles all problem individuals, beginning in grade school where they just push them on to the next grade. Actually, beginning at home where parents push the kids off to school to let them try to teach children the things that should have been taught before they ever reached school age. After school everyone involved hopes the person just goes away so they no longer have to ‘deal’ with the problem. Put it off on someone else. It has become the American Way. No one takes responsibility, especially not the offending person. When are states going to start talking to each other so that these court decisions will follow an individual no matter where they move?
If something had been in place to follow this person into the next relationship then his future partner would have been warned of his abusive past, then she and any future off-spring would not have been victims of his abuse.
Aren’t most murders done at the hands of someone the victim knows? Aren’t most murders done as the result of anger? Doesn’t it make sense then that anger management should become a top priority of this society in order to protect itself from members who cannot control their anger?
Why don’t we have answers to any of these questions?
A person doesn’t become emotionally and physically abusive overnight, people in this mans past had to have seen this coming for years. Why don’t we have some means of forcing this man to take control of his life so that he stops trying to control other peoples lives? We as a society have to take control of his life for the safety of others because he is not doing it on his own. Now, the court’s and the penal system will be forced to do what we did not. Surely it would have been far less expensive in the long run to have taken action before he got this far. I’m not just talking about financial costs here, people would still be alive if we had taken action.
Somebody who knew this person, Cutts, knew that abuse was taking place. Somebody in a position to step in and say something to him or had the opportunity to say something to authorities to at least look into it. Everyone who knew it and did nothing is partly culpable for her death.
And then we have the typical comments from the killers stepmother "A lot of people are looking at him like a bad person, but he's not, he really isn't." To this I say, “wake up lady!” you obviously don’t know this guy. The California court system sees it, now the rest of the world sees it, when are you going to see it?
