If we still had public executions like hangins I bet it would curb it.
No, you are not the only one who’s noticed. By the end of the day there will probably be a few more.
Am I the only person that notices that since yesterday alone there are 5 articles in the Dothan Eagle involving abuse against women and children, with 3 of the 5 involving sex crimes against children? What is wrong with society? What is missing in the lives of the perpetrators that they commit these violent offenses against women and kids? The number of articles would suggest that we are living in a large metropolitan area, not a smaller rural community.
