Words fail me.

Every time I think of that murder, and the horrendous execution of justice (or lack thereof) afterwards always leaves me saddened and gloomy.

I still can't believe that man was allowed to just walk away after this murder.

As a Hillary supporter, of course anyone who feels the same way that she is the right choice for our next president is welcome.

This one is extra special, and transcends to the politics of it imo.

Very powerful indeed. msrizzo Jan 2016 #1
