What's going on?
ok... there are situations that i see daily that make me realize that my life is not half as bad as i make it out to be! story:
i was at dialysis, waiting on my ride. i was sitting on the front steps doing a soduku puzzle. and a girl walked towards the center. she was crying and disheveled. as she walked a man in a battered little red car crept along beside her, attempting to coerce her into getting back in the car. she waved him off and continued walking towards the center. she made it up the ramp, and then all of a sudden i saw this big black man running towards us (i was still sitting on the porch. i was about to ask her if she needed to use a phone)! as he bounded up the stairs, he told her "you make me so sick" and his hand flew back and her slapped her! she looked stunned for a minute, but by the time she regained her composure he had put her in a choke hold and begun to literally drag her back to the car. while all of that was going on i ran into the center and told someone to call the police, someone else went out and got his plate number. the girl somehow managed to get out of the car and walked around the corner. he sped off in the same direction but came back a few minutes later, apparently he was still looking for the young woman. the police never showed up, and i do not know what happened to the young lady. i prayed for her all the way home.
that whole situation scared me, not only because there was a two hundred pound man running towards me, but that he basically battered this woman in broad daylight in public (not that battery is something that should go on in private) and he had little regard for others, especially this young woman. it reminded me of watching two of my aunts deal with abusive relationships, and no matter what had happened, they always found their way back to the idiots who felt they needed to express their emotions by hitting a woman. i have never understood (nor do i want to) understand what justification a man uses to tell himself that it is acceptable to hit a woman. what has memphis come to that such a thing can happen in broad daylight. apparently the two had been fighting for a while (further down the street, i couldn't see them, but a driver said that he had been watching them... i still don't know why he didn't call the police, or any of the other passing motorists for that matter! then again... the police didn't even bother to show up!) that bothers me that no one thought about her well being... maybe its because i know what my aunts went through... i don't know...
what is it with all of the violence that has been going on lately? black males here are becoming more and more violent and confrontational, and they do not care about the repercussions. they fear nothing and no one. there seems to be violence everywhere! when the Amish community is affected by violence, then i know there is something definitely wrong with mankind. what makes people do such things... why?
i am still trying to rein all of this in... i am thankful that i am going through what i am going through. i have been blessed in more ways than one!
