Chris Brown publicly apologized for assaulting Rihanna recently, asking for everyone’s forgiveness. He admitted that what he did was totally inexcusable. His video was first shown July 20, 2009, on YouTube.com
Here’s the video. Don’t know how we missed this earlier!
I think his apology is quite commendable! What do you think?
Here’s a disgusting animal abuse story from the Dallas Morning News about a stable owner who’s been arrested after 76 starving horses were found on his property at the Renazans Equestrian Farm near Pilot Point.
Conditions were so terrible that many of the horses have worms from eating grass contaminated with feces. Other horses “have been standing in feces and urine for we don’t know how long, and it has softened their hooves,” according to Denton County Sheriff’s Dept. Captain Mike Caley.
What was ranch owner Gordon Dennis Key’s excuse for the deplorable conditions?
“Caley said that Key told deputies he could not afford to feed the horses and did not have time to clean out their stalls.”
I wonder how Key treats humans? Animal abuse is often linked to domestic and child abuse.
Like most abusers, Robert “Bobby” Lozano was described to be a liar and ”master manipulator” by Denton County prosecutor Susan Piel:
“Prosecutor Susan Piel spoke first in final arguments. She told the jury that Lozano’s statement to the Texas Rangers was a series of lies designed to cover up some of the things police found that concerned them. His 18-month affair with fellow Denton police Detective Cindy Waters went bad that June because he didn’t keep his promises to her to leave his wife. After he broke many deadlines to leave, Waters discovered he had told her a huge lie about his whereabouts when he was supposed to be spending a weekend with her, Piel said. Waters learned that instead he took a trip with his wife and mother-in-law, and she said it was over.
“He liked his player lifestyle,” Piel said. “He liked his wife’s money.”
Lozano lied, Piel said, when he said he and his wife fell asleep together the night prior to her death, which was their 16th wedding anniversary. He didn’t go to sleep, Piel said; he slipped out to see Waters and stayed for two hours.
But while Lozano was typing his statement at the Texas Rangers’ office, Waters was in Denton police Lt. Lee Howell’s office “singing like a bird,” Piel said. Waters told Howell about the affair and that Lozano was supposed to be leaving his wife. So Lozano wrote a short supplement to his statement admitting the affair.
Piel said Lozano’s glowing account of his and Viki’s day together was all lies. He said both his wife and their baby were sickly, yet he claimed they went to the park and had a beautiful time playing on the swings, Piel said.
Lozano lied about crying out to his dead wife not to leave him, Piel told the jury. That was not heard on the 911 tape, she said. He lied about Viki Lozano being ill after the baby was born and him having to care for the baby for months. He lied about performing CPR.
“He is selfish,” Piel said. “He is a liar. He is a master manipulator.”
Slain elementary school teacher Viki Lozano was apparently heavily criticized her whole life by her mother, Anna Farish. Then husband Robert Lozano continued the emotional abuse for another 16 years while they were married.
Viki Lozano suffered her mother’s criticism all her life, Piel said. She suffered for 16 years at the hands of a man whose character was “beyond anything normal.”
Most of us typically marry someone with whom we are comfortable, researchers say. If we have been raised in an emotionally abusive setting, we’re likely to marry someone who is equally emotionally abusive because that is what we’re used to.
The picture painted at the murder trial of Viki Lozano reveals the likelihood that she was attracted to Robert’s criticisms because that’s what she felt comfortable with.
How sad!
Even in death, her mother was unwilling to give credit to her daughter for achieving a weight loss. Instead, she gave it to her son-in-law:
Farish testified for her son-in-law, saying he had turned a chubby girl into a trim woman and they were a happy couple.”
No wonder Viki suffered from low self-esteem, which is typical of abused women!
