That's so ..... "awful" doesn't begin to describe it. I feel like the breath has been sucked from my lungs, and the hope knocked out of my heart.

... I know. I just... I. Thinking about this again just long enough to reply to this comment has brought me to incensed tears again.

I may actually need to edit my settings for this post so that comments aren't popping into my inbox automatically.

the law is outrageous, the story doesn't surprise me.

the shit that happens, here too, shows us the true measure of our society.

i find hope in the movement supporting Sarah Kruzan and changing the terrible law.
i find hope in her telling her story. there are thousands of silent tragedies.

loveyou
