    She had a hard life. All of them had really hard lives. I’m so glad we have round the clock coverage on them

      Would you have left this comment if it was someone else talking about their near encounter with a sexual assailant?

        No, I feel that the dangers that regular people face everyday should be talked about more. I just don’t think that the rich and powerful, who are class predators of a sort, should be viewed as victims of society with the same attention as those who are victims of both.

        If a sheep gets mauled by a bear - sound the main alarm.
        If the wolf, that hunts the sheep, gets mauled by a bear - sound a different alarm.

    I’m not surprised. My mum would tell me stories about dodging creepy old men on the train when going to school in the 50s. She seemed to accept it as just one of those things and I’m sitting there with my GenX sensibilities thinking yikes!
