South Carolina Men Murders Women in Record Ways
As an activist against tyranny, cronyism & corruption, it is hard to alarm me; but today I'm shocked by the unthinkable.
South Carolina is a state leader in murderings of women.
As brought to my attention, there's one man, trying to make a difference, in the statistics, appalling.
S.C. man turns his horrific tragedy into activism
This is Christian Rainey's story, according to CBS News

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. --October is National Domestic Violence month. According to the Violence Policy Center, more than 1,600 women are murdered by men each year, and 94 percent are killed by a man they knew.
South Carolina has the worst record for deadly domestic violence.
Christian Rainey, a North Charleston, South Carolina firefighter, is working to change that. He responds every day to people in crisis. But nothing will ever compare to the call he got in 2006.
"I got a phone call from my cousin telling me that I needed to fly home."
Detra Rainey, his mother, was murdered by her new husband, Michael Simmons. He also killed Rainey's four siblings.
Since then, Mr. Rainey has started activism to educate men, about domestic violence.
