And of course, if anyone saw the crime going down, and suspected what was happening ...

... they were less likely to intervene because it would be in their mind that one man who did intervene is now being persecuted nationwide for his civic-mindedness.

Thanks, Barack Obama and Eric Holder.

Yes. Good point.

We mustn't judge or profile or be suspicious based on our biased life experiences. Excellent.

Not sure if I am more shocked by the crime, or this post. To be honest - (wrote and edited out - due to a lack of invite to comment)

Hmmm... I promised to not respond until invited on subjects in this sphere... so I can only respond to teh tragidy of the abduction and death of this girl.

It is tragic. Those who hear stuff like this will be angered - but we also end up knowing that aside from personal vigilance, there is little we can do. We watch out for our own and our friends and, when possible - all others.

... but ...

... you have GOT to be kidding on the rest of your post - this is so unbelievably over the top.

Oh, "I" am the one over the top?

Am I invited to sound off?

Invitation accepted...

What I edited follows - I have left it unedited - as it was first written - Please note that you have posted more AFTER this was written and I leave it as is for the integrity of the post and to avoid the confusion of adding response that was not in the initial post and response - I don't generally make multiple edits to posts.

Comment follows as a response to THIS post

Where do I start? Do I start with the moral ethic of politicizing what is clearly not a political issue? Do I start with the inaccuracies regarding media coverage that are spoken specifically to garnish some political point at the expense of a tragic event? Do I discuss how attempting to tie this to unrelated events elsewhere is disgusting? How about the absolutely disgusting introduction of people who have NOTHING AT ALL to do with this and implying they are responsible? Do we go to the relevance to what people need to know in as they go about their daily lives

RE: "It is a horrible story - blame the killer - not everyone you dislike in the world."

Can't avoid the cheap shot.

For the record. I am not a liberal. I do not "dislike people" for the usual liberal reasons. I comment on the facts and evens that are unfolding before our eyes.

To say someone describes reality because he or she doesn't like people is so typical of the left. Like people who absolutely HATE Sarah Palin and would dance with joy if harm came to her and/or her family.

I do not like lies, smears, law-breaking, character assassination, inciting hatred, and other tactics of the left. I do not blame people "I don't like" for the murder of a child. That is what LIBERALS do (Gabby Giffords, the Boston Marathon atrocities, the Dark Knight massacre, the Connecticut school killings, ETC., ETC., ETC.

[tniassaint]

Nope - I haven't but I am about to.
