I've seen and heard a lot over the years. Read about a lot of horrific crimes and the terrible things that can happen in our world.
But there is something about this criminal act that is different. The video of the girl -- and especially the still taken from it below -- absolutely gutted me.
That could easily have been one of the many women in my life. I just can't imagine.
I don't want them to live in fear, terrified of leaving the house. But today, every institution in our society is actively engaged against them -- politicians of both parties, judges, the media, NGOs ... hell, half the country votes for this.
I only see it getting worse.
I don't know when I've ever felt so hopeless about our future.
