Everyone's worst nightmare.

[The Backlash Cometh]

Three of the strangest murders in the same zip code. About one per year

First one, neighbor in an apartment complex drags woman into his apartment and rapes and kills her. When the cops come searching, he lets them into his apartment, he has scratches on his face and they find her naked body in a box in the living room.

The second was over a year ago(?). The night before his wedding, his fiancee comes in at two o'clock in the morning, she's short, he's tall and he shoots her when he's four feet away from her. And get this, he doesn't even get manslaughter charges! Oh, and he's a connected good ole boy in the town.

There was a third murder where some guy hunted down an old girlfriend and shot her.

Are these experiences of men killing women happening around your areas?

I would love to get the links for the last two but the orlando sentinel's archives search engine is crap.

1. "Happening around your areas?" -- what, you mean more than usual? People are awful, and always have

been.

4. I think the numbers are getting worse.

I have a pretty good idea what the factors are.

5. What numbers, specifically?

The murder rate has been dropping for years.

6. The number of incidents seem to be rising where I live.

2. We've had a spate of horrendous

child killings by baby mama boyfriends (not the biological father) while baby mama stands by and does nothing. Some of these have been so horrendous I can't even bring myself to type the specifics. Unbelievable things. And in too many of these cases, ONLY the male is arrested and charged while the "grieving mother" claims she didn't know. Bullshit.

3. I hope someone is keeping track of the numbers.

More to the point, I hope someone is studying the issue to find out whether our society has reached the breaking point.
