Oh, Those Restraining Orders...They Don't Work Well With Incompetent Judges and Violent Men

About a week ago I entitled a post Family MembersFriends and Co-Workers of Victims are Often Aware of Problems because I was sick of the media's portrayal of these murder-suicides as lone actions of some depressed, but otherwise "nice" man.

Shortly after that post, I wrote up on Judge Tim Barnack in Oregon being responsible for the murder of Calah Trostel after denying her restraining order petition.

Well, that same week, I failed to write up about the murder of Letizia "Lisa" Zindell in Toms River, New Jersey. I couldn't write that one up just yet....because I was JUST VACATIONING IN TOMS RIVER DURING THAT SAME TIME PERIOD!!!!

Letizia was murdered by her boyfriend, well, they were about get married but the wedding was called off. Her dear ex-fiance was becoming more and more enraged. She had a restraining order place against him. He likely had a not-so-good relationship in his previous relationship because he owed child support.

Wait, wait, stop right here! You see...we have all of these poorly written media stories reporting that the economy is causing men's violence to escalate. Wrong. The thinking that is prevalent is causing men's violence. It seems that men do kill because of financial issues (debt, child support)...but this is related to them NOT having CONTROL!!!! Women have financial issues, too! Women with children are the poorest in the United States. But there is no rash of woman murder-suicides...especially in which the media reports that the woman/mother was depressed, or suffering from financial woes. No.

Anyway, Letizia was a highly educated woman who had access to many resources, and yet, her ex-fiance decided her fate. He had JUST gotten out of jail for violating the restraining order and for child support arrears.

Who is the judge on this case?

New Jersey, what is going on?

Yes, concerned citizens in New Jersey, you should organize and protest at the courthouse.
