Not saying he DESERVED to die...


but his being dead isn't that much of a loss to the world.

What a tool he was.





It's a guaranteed disaster...like eating a burrito before sex.

And when Jodi is executed it will be no great loss either.

What a murdering, lying bitch.

reply

Yeah, not sure she's been given the death penalty yet, but...sure - she's a murderer. No big loss.

But Travis was a dick; he played games with her and used her; treated her like *beep*

Dude was gross.

reply

She will, though.

They played with each other. She used him just as much as he used her. And he made it clear they would not be together and they were just friends. He only treated her the way she behaved and the way she allowed herself to be treated. Jodi knew what she was doing. She got what she wanted, except for Travis' love.

Dude was human.

Bitch was psychotic.

If this idiot was 'human' then we should all weep for the human race. There are a ton of much better quality human guys out there. Travis was just a douchebag. And a Mormon! Which makes his douchebaggery even more...douchy. That he was a 'motivational speaker' just adds comedy to the whole debaucle.

She's a mess...he was a loser.

I guess I just didn't see how he was so bad. Tell me, what was it that made him so terrible? He made mistakes, but he was not that bad at all. He was kind and giving, according to everyone that knew him. He was honest with his intentions with Jodi. If she was not ok with that, she should have quit shaking her tail at him (and every other guy) every chance she got.

She wasn't a mess. She IS a psychopath. She was fully aware of what she was doing.

You just aren't getting the full story.

reply

Using people who are weak and unstable is pretty reprehensible behavior. Frankly, the most redeeming thing about him...was that he was murdered. It's the onlly thing that gives him any sympathy.

You only aren't getting the full story when you don't take Travis's responsibility in this horrible event into account.

Jodi used Travis, plain and simple. After they broke up, she moved closer to him after he told her not to to try and win him back. He told her he just wanted to be friends and told her he didn't want to have sex with her anymore. She never respected his wishes or his faith and would come around and put him and herself in situations that she KNEW would get them in trouble. She would not stop. Just listen to the stories of their sexual encounters. Who always went to who? Who always ended up at who's place? Travis never went to her.

He didn't use her, she was throwing it at him and he'd bite because he liked her and she's sexy. If she really respected him she'd stay away. So he'd let her know that they were just friends, they'd never be together. And she acted totally okay with this when really she wasn't and was completely desperate for him to marry her. Now that's manipulative. How was Travis supposed to know her true feelings when she was presenting herself one way and really feeling another way? She thought the sex would work but it only had the opposite affect. It caused him to totally lose respect for her.

So Jodi kicked it up a notch by stalking him and his girlfriends and using other men to manipulate him and hacking his emails and accounts. When she moved away, he was happy to see her go and said it would be better for both of them. He was so relieved and hoped that they could both finally move on once and for all. He never came to California, not even once to see her. He was moving on. Ouch. So she packed up some gas and some weapons and planned an alibi and turned off her cell phone and went on death trip.

So yeah, I fail to see how Travis is in any way complicit in his murder, other than that he simply got involved with the wrong woman and found himself caught up in a web he couldn't get out of. I'm not saying Travis didn't make some mistakes and should have handled Jodi better, but he is not responsible for his death and doesn't deserved to be slandered in his death when he is not here to defend himself. And btw, it may be no great loss to you, but it was a great loss to somebody. He had family and friends who still miss him dearly. So enough. Your death will be no great loss to the world either. We're just people. So what's your point. Oh, and he's not a murderer, like Jodi. She knew right from wrong and she knew exactly what she was doing with the sex. It was her trump card. It just failed. How dare he.

First thing that comes to mind for me was when he referred to Jodi as "3 hole wonder." And he's supossed to be a Mormon?

He was a piece of *beep* and if he had been thinking with his head instead of his dick, he might still be alive.

You do realize many women devalue a man by the size of his penis or his libido, so when those women get killed, you agree it was totally reasonable, because they couldn't shut their mouth? If they didn't say those things well, they wouldn't get murdered? Or they're murdered because they're going to leave the marriage for another man? If they didn't do that, they wouldn't get murdered?

There is no reason for murder, unless it's self defense. You're making excuses cause some man has treated you like *beep* why don't you stop thinking about yourself for once. If you really think '3 hole wonder' is the worse thing a person could say, you must be living under a rock!

Yeah this didn't exactly take a side between Jodi or Travis. Both were bad people, based off what little we know

reply

I agree. How you see it depends on your point of view.

I think he did what a lot of other guys would have done with Jodi. Someone is offering sex to you so easily, and strongly, it gets hard to say no...If she wanted to be a girlfriend so bad, she should have waiting until she WAS his girlfriend.

Guys know, if you give it easy like that to us, you might do that for anyone. Not exactly wife material, and she's not seemingly wanting to be. Lots of people just hook up, but when one wants a deeper relationship than the other, they don't always end up murdered and facing death row. The break up, then hit the club looking good lol.

jlane- you speak a lot of sense in that post!

@jiane45

Oh, give me a break. Women like sex as much as men do, so quit demonizing and shaming us for it.

Excuse me? If a man's stuck his thing in everybody that let him stick it in them for miles around (and a dude like that isn't husband material,either) why does he get the high-five for that, but when a women wants to bang a dude every now and then, she gets branded a slut and a whore and all that sexist bull****? Also,every women ain't looking for a husband--sometimes they just want to hit it and quit it, like men have always done. Both men and women should use common sense when going for casual sex, but this is the 21st century---all this bull**** shaming of women because they want to be sexually active has got to stop,period,because it's just some sexist bull****. Men can be all kinds of whores and get all kinds of diseases doing so, but hey, because they're men, society has always given them a pass on that,like they're fckn entitled to sex from women,no matter what---how stupid.

reply

Both are horrible people, death however is exterme. I find it funny that certain people who want equlity for whatever side will put lots of effort into their side (which isn't bad), but when it is not going their way the other side is piece of *beep* who shouldn't be equal and vice versa.

reply

P.s. if it was the other way around with Jodi being dead and Travis being mentally unstable killer, if the end result was same with the courts I would be happy as I am with it now.

reply

WHOA because he didnt want her, that makes him a tool????? please explain - funny you dont mention her eagerness to give him oral sex a week after meeting him -- funny you don't mention her stalking him harrassing his g/fs/ how about hacking into his e-mail bank accounts; labeling him everything from sex deviant to an abusive b/f all during the trial -- what about her huh? after all shes the one who drove 8 hrs to be with this "tool".. sleeps with him then butchers him.

She was an obsessivly scorned woman hellbent on revenge. \He DID NOT DESERVE TO DIE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!

reply

Did you call the real Travis "tool"?

WTF is tool?? like pliers, screwdrivers, hammer, etc?

reply

coming from the guy that keeps calling Jodi a hoe instead of a ho, good one!

reply

I feel like it's a case of love, but one person loves the other more. Most of us have been there, we meet someone and fall madly in love, and they do 'love' us back, but not as much...and it can make you crazy. I think Jodi had a pattern of falling hard, and fell for Travis like no other, and in her mind and her heart it was one way, but it was really something else entirely. I think she just snapped and went completely psycho. I don't know if I believe she was born that way, or never had true feelings or was always capable of that kind of evil, I think it happened to her, over a number of relationships and years and then falling for Travis so hard and so fast, she just lost it. I dont think Travis mean to really hurt her, I think he tried to love her and tried to be with her, but she was so intense and none of his friends liked her, and his faith....and he was drawn to her, he could not say no...but he was not in love with her, and who knows what happened that day, what she was thinking before....how long she thought about it. She went crazy. I mean, you hear that all the time...love makes people crazy, and I think this is the kind of thing they mean.

Not a loss to the world, but a loss to his family & friends.

Just watched this last night. I knew nothing about this murder until I saw that she was convicted a few months ago. I don't know how accurately the movie followed the actual events but Jodi seemed to be a psychopath and Travis was her enabler. All he wanted was the great sex which she was willing to engage in right from the beginning of their relationship. He was Mormom and they eschew premarital sex. Like a lot of men he was willing to ignore his beliefs (and God's) and sleep with this crazy women.

Then he continued to lead her on. I guess she finally snapped. As a woman I can't imagine stabbing somebody unless my life was on the line and to slit someone's throat!? Never. If Travis hadn't ever slept with her and Jodi has some respect for herself none of this would have happened.

Maybe this is why the Lord tells us to save ourselves for marriage. A good lesson for many to learn.

Murdering someone doesn't justify getting treated like crap, or how many people put it, "sex slave." It's Jodi's own fault for letting a guy have that type of "control" over her. She could've walked away many times, but the movie made her look crazy, obsessive, and manipulative.

Stabbing someone 27-29 times, slitting their throat, and then shooting them in a head...overkill much? How is that self defense? And how many times did she change her story..first she wasn't there, then she was saying someone killed him and attempted to kill her, and then said it was self defense. I mean come on, who would believe her now? It's the same problem I have with the Jeff Wright murder.

chiluver, you're sick, selective and self-righteous.

You're making it his fault because he's the man.

"chiluver, you're sick, selective and self-righteous.

I don't recall saying anywhere that it was his fault. She is a sick woman and IF THE MOVIE IS ACCURATE, he was portrayed as a bit of a hypocrite. But she deserves the death penalty for what she did. She could have just left him alone when she realized he only wanted her for sex.

And I find it odd that you chose MY post to lambast when the OP and others have called Travis much worse than me calling him an enabler.

We are free to choose our actions, but not our consequences.

His death is a consequence of the type of relationship he had with her as oppose to people who get randomly killed.

Thank you ... I was just going to ask the OP and those who agreed with him/her if they'd feel the same way if the roles were reversed. If it was a man who killed the woman ....

If Travis was the one who was stalking Jodi and ended up stabbing her 20-something times, slitting her throat almost to the point of decapitating her, then shooting her ... would you still feel the same way?

Travis was a loser. His parents didn't even care about him.
As far as Jodi, he led her on. Leave me alone! Let's have sex! No! Leave me alone! Let's have sex again!
What a fool!

He pushed her away multiple times and she kept crawling her way back by playing on his weakness.

So...chick goes nuts, slashes your tires, stalks you, manipulates you, hacks your e-mail, harasses your female friends, and your first thought when she suddenly shows up at your door, acting weird and with different hair color, is to.............let her inside and let her think you still care about her.

I don't think he deserved to die either, and I don't think he was THAT bad a guy, but...at the same time...not the sharpest spade in the toolbox. Sorry.

reply

He may not have been an altogether 'bad' person but everyone knows a douche like him, he just got caught in the crosswires of the wrong broad who just so happened to turn on the crazy when it was clear he wasnt interested.
