We Can ALL Do SOMETHING 0001

The rape at Richmond High School is just one of many horrible events in which people seemingly stood by and did nothing. A silly Desperate Housewives episode got me to thinking about it, again, and I just wanted to remind everyone that we can ALL do SOMETHING.

If you get a chance, maybe check out this OLD video I did - sort of on the same subject:

Get ready for the future, it's gonna look alot like the Old West. The government is totally inept and corrupt. Justice in the future will be administered on the spot and instantaneously. Everyone at this point should be armed constantly. If you're not, I suggest you buy a high powered handgun, learn how to use it, and get the permit to carry it. This problem will not be solved through counseling or legislation. Say goodbye to civilization, the ghetto culture killed it.

Hmm, I don't know. This whole country was built on violence. Long before there were ghettos, this country was violent. Although you're probably right about the rest of it.

I broke up a gang practically with my own bare hands after a girl was gang raped in the town I used to live in.

I dogged their ass day and night! Yelled at business owners where they were allowed to "hang out"! And worked with a detective and got the perps put in jail and the girl in rehab.

I lectured every damned girl endlessly and guilt tripped them about protecting other women AT ALL COSTS!!

Sadly I was the only parent involved BUT I was effective!

Thank you for this video....good job!

Wow, that is AMAZING! Thanks to you for caring enough not to give up. And every girl you "guilt tripped," I believe that even if it's not until many years down the line, they WILL remember your words and they WILL think about their sisters and come to their aid. You are a truly wonderful woman!

You helped that girl. You had courage, an amazing amount of courage, to go into that situation with that huge crowd.

I think some people do nothing because they don't care. I think some people do nothing because they are the evil watchers. Some do nothing because they are afraid. Some do nothing because they convince themselves that it is not that bad or they blame the victim.

An excellent books entitled, "The Lucifer Effect" gives explanations on why people do evil things.

Amen

Thank you for not being afraid to speak what you feel.

[jagib2]

you are right to be upset & repulsed by what happened to the young girl. it does not get much worst then this.

a young life has been destroyed, she is so young to have been traumatized like this. she will probably become gay & have nothing to do with men.

Richmond is very dangerous. people will try to run up on you anywhere, anytime. i've seen blood in the streets. & may her attackers get what they deserve. Prison , where the same thing will probably happen to them.

Thank you so much. This brought tears to my eyes. God bless.

All it takes for evil to triumph, is for good people to do nothing.
