THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

THE TWO HEROES WHO MAY HAVE SAVED A LIFE



Personally, I have no doubt that the victim was on a one-way ride to her own rape and murder.  Obviously the man who was arrested is technically innocent until proven guilty but it seems pretty clear what happened.  It's a story that is both horrifying and inspiring at the same time. 

It's terrifying to think about this kind of thing happening to me or somebody I know.  It's something that happens all too frequently these days.  I like to think that I'd do whatever I had to in order to escape or survive.

But I would also hope to be blessed enough to have a couple of people in another car who were paying attention and also willing to risk possible embarrassment (if it turned out to be a false alarm) in order to make sure that nothing bad happened to a fellow human being.  It's the second time in the last two months that alert good samaritans have helped stop a kidnapping like this.  Thank God for happy endings!  As somebody wise once said:
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
