But, i feel this silence was a mistake. Because here we are over 20 years later still seeing the same thing happen. I made a picture which was private to my page and my sister posted it...telling the story above. She posted it upon her FB and it's the first step in making sure people understand this has to stop. <br /><br />It only takes one person to stand up and say...no. Anyone of those witnesses could have made a difference to this young woman.Mahalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760207968009606116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505671975927057423.post-57944505238003079692013-03-20T19:06:13.423+00:002013-03-20T19:06:13.423+00:00Wow.

I try not to dwell on how f*&ked up this world and the people in it can be. Then I realise that prayer and reflection are not crutches, as some believe, but refuges and places to recharge one's batteries. There is much to be done in this life while we are here, much to learn, much to teach, much to endure along the way. This particular fight -- to have girls and women recognised for their full humanity -- is a long hard road. We've made some progress but cannot slack up now. <br /><br />Again, though -- thanks for sharing such a personal story. xxYYBrownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06902394256209643503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5505671975927057423.post-48135090959152718662013-03-20T16:28:25.405+00:002013-03-20T16:28:25.405+00:00You know that picture circulating of the young wom...You know that picture circulating of the young woman being dragged by her hands and feet? That was my sister in 1987. <br /><br />The group of men were graduated, former all state wrestlers...about six of them.<br /><br />Their gang leader, is on my sister's friendslist on FB. He's all religious now...got a fine wife and daughters. Spouts xtian diatribe all the day long and talks of "protecting his daughters." He's free to live a good life.<br /><br />He wouldn't have...had it not been for a young girl...stopping him...so he went back and turned his attention to the 13 year old child upon the couch and began the same thing with her...But once again this shy girl...who spent most of her days talking with birds up in a tree...stopped him...he then assaulted me...punching me in the face. His gang held me back as i tried to defend myself...even some of my own friends who were friends with him...were very slow to react.<br /><br />I was almost 16...they were 20's.<br /><br />As the modern day trial found those men guilty and they begin to cry...i became SO angry..."we really didn't mean to do it..."<br /><br />Lies.<br /><br />Only when one gets caught...do you ever hear such exclaims.<br /><br />You know, i was wondering if my own fellow ever knows how lucky he is...that i stopped him and his thugs that night.<br /><br />Often i have wanted to send him a note on FB with the simple words "you're welcome."<br /><br />First for not reporting the assault upon myself. Second for stopping him from spending his life in jail for rape...of a 13 year old child the woman who owned the party house was supposed to be babysitting.<br /><br />Disgusting.Mahalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760207968009606116noreply@blogger.com
