So, This Just Happened
Sex Offender Kills Librarian And Rapes Her DaughterDavid Renz was arraigned Friday morning at a court in East Syracuse on charges that he abducted the mother and daughter as they left a gymnastics class in the Syracuse suburb of Clay.
They believe Renz tied up the woman and the girl and then raped the 10-year-old in a deserted area of the mall parking lot shortly before 9pm on March 14.
That’s where they think the woman, 47, who worked at an elementary school, was stabbed to death.
The girl managed to escape the scene and run down the road and was aided by a passing driver.
The 29-year-old had been charged in January with possession of 100 gigabytes of child porn comprising more than 500 videos and more than 3,000 images, as was allowed to remain free under terms that included staying off the internet and away from places including schools, parks and arcades.
This occurred in the parking lot of a mall we go to frequently. This man worked at the supermarket that I shop at-I've actually spoken to him before.
He's about 5 feet tall and 100 lbs. He’s small. He didn’t have a gun, just a knife. She could have possibly overpowered him, at the very least fought him while her daughter ran. I'm not placing the blame on her in the slightest, she could have had no idea what he planned. But that’s the point, and why the “Just comply and give them whatever they want” brainwashing is so dangerous. She probably thought he just wanted to rob her, and that resisting would get her stabbed.
But what if what they want is to rape your kid and stab you to death? There’s simply no way to know, and nobody who threatens your life should ever be given the benefit of the doubt-fight immediately and completely. We need to stop telling people to “just cooperate” and that “resisting is dangerous.”
Of course resisting is dangerous. Complying is dangerous. If someone is threatening you, the entire situation is inherently dangerous, and there's no way around that unfortunately.
