I'm sure you have all seen the story about the guy that dragged a woman behind his pickup for a mile here in Colorado. She was so disfigured that she could not be identified. And it happened within 25 miles of me.

The issue of illegal immigration aside, what is going on in this country and the world? How can a person become empowered in such a way that they can justify an act such as this? I can't imagine for the life of me how someone could be so mean, uncaring and heartless or how they could have so much hate in them that they would put a rope around someone's neck and drag them behind a truck. I can only imagine what her last moments were like, and I'm sure that nothing I conjure up in my head could match reality. It's bad enough when someone shoots another human being and takes their life away quickly, but this is just sickening. I am trying, but I can't even find the words to express my horror at an act like this. What is going on in our society today?
