Man That Killed 3 People And Himself In Wisconsin Shooting Spree Is Another Example Of Failed Restraining Orders

 

On Sunday, October 21, 2012, Radcliffe Haughton, 45, opened fire in a Wisconsin spa, wounding 4 people, killing three (his wife included) and himself. Haughton's wife, Zina Haughton, began to fear for her safety when her husband began issuing violent threats and slashed her tires. Zina Haughton was able to obtain a 4-year restraining order against her husband, but it was of no use, as he violated it. This tragedy is more proof that restraining orders without strong legislation and more police enforcement behind them are useless to victims. 

Just a week before the shooting, on October 18, 2012 in the Judiciary Report article, Music Promoter That Killed Jamaican Musician Captain Barkey And His Girlfriend In New York Kills Himself In Miami, the site wrote regarding restraining orders, "In many cases, restraining orders fail victims, as stalkers are criminally minded, mentally ill, irrational and have no respect for the law. Police often do little about stalking cases, which needs to change, via new legislation in America, issuing greater legal penalties to offenders."

Congress needs to come up with strong anti-stalking legislation on a federal level (applying to the entire country) rather than individual laws in effect that often vary by state. Some uniformity is needed. Once a person makes a specific threat or begins to stalk another, it should be grounds for incarceration. Victims should not have to wait until stalkers, who are often violent, violate the restraining order to have police step in - and even then, current legislation is not enough to make an impact.

The Judiciary Report is of the belief, the issuance of a properly issued restraining order should automatically equate to jail time. Some stalkers would think twice before engaging in said illegal activity if they knew a restraining order could be filed that meant one strike and you are out, not two or three (to paraphrase baseball lingo). 

To the violent stalker it would meant the threat posed to the victim's safety would be neutralized for a time, with the hope that said duration would be long enough for a mental evaluation and medication for the offender. Too many innocent men and women have died terrible deaths or been severely injured as a result of stalkers gone wild, for the government not to do more about this growing problem.

Rihanna Trying To Use Matt Kemp To Make Chris Brown Jealous But It Is Backfiring

Rihanna looking angry this week over Chris Brown and Karrueche Tran sightings

 

In response to woman beating R&B singer, Chris Brown, refusing to stop seeing model Karrueche Tran whenever his other girlfriend Rihanna is not around, she has begun using ex-boyfriend Matt Kemp in an attempt to make him jealous. However, it is not working. To someone like Chris Brown, that is simply clearance to continue messing with Tran and his other jumpoffs in California, New York, Florida and Virginia.

The view Chris Brown continues to see of Karrueche Tran

Based on what I have been told Brown sees it as this, Rihanna cost him so much in his life and career, via the 2009 domestic violence fight they had, where he should have controlled himself when she hit him, that he is going to do what he wants irrespective of how she feels. She's brought a lot of bad into his life and there is an underlying resentment regarding it. 

Chris Brown sure can take some strange looking pictures

 

Trying to make someone jealous with that mindset is only going to escalate what is a brewing problem among two people with a propensity for violence. Brown and Rihanna are going to have more physical brawls, but they are going to try harder to keep it secret, it what is a destructive and dangerous relationship.

Rihanna was pictured looking angrier than the devil outside a church, after photos surfaced of Karrueche Tran, the alleged ex-girlfriend of boyfriend, Chris Brown, leaving his house in the morning, wearing the same clothes she had on the night before. Rihanna was going into a recording studio displaying a hateful look on her face with a bottle of beer in her hand. Anytime something goes wrong with her she hits the bottle, which doesn't solve her problems.

Karrueche Tran is still in Brown's life, despite the PR fuelled break up announcement to reunite with Rihanna. Brown has made Rihanna look like a fool for taking him back after he badly beat and cheated on her. She's no angel herself, sleeping with married men and women for industry favors. I was informed Rihanna is jealous of Tran, due to Brown's feelings for her and some stating she is prettier, which the so-called singer's ego can't take.
