The War Against Women

The story is a few days old now, but still relevant. It's a story women hear about far too familiar with. Often it involves someone they know, but not always . . . and the victims keep getting younger and younger all the time.

I'm talking about violence against women and girls.

The media reported that last week a man in Colorado walked into a school and held several students hostage. What they didn't focus on was that all the students held hostage were young girls. Girls that were sexually assaulted -- and one young girl, Emily Keyes, who was assaulted and then killed.

As is often the case the man then turned the gun on himself.

This man terrorized these young girls for four hours before the ordeal came to a violent end. Can you imagine how frightened the young girls must have been. How helpless they must have felt against an adult man wielding guns.

What I keep asking is if these men are so unhappy why don't they seek help? And if they don't want to seek help or are not able to seek help, why don't they just kill themselves and leave young girls and women alone.
