Amid the posts, tweets and news stories surrounding the tragic death of Fast and Furious Actor Paul Walker, you could barely hear a whisper about the murders of Kristy Robinson, Michelle Shepherd or Marilyn Redding. Walker’s life is being celebrated. It’s being reported that some of his final words were, “Let’s go for a ride.”
It’s nice to be celebrated.
Redding, 53, a mother and a grandmother, was deliberately run over by someone she knew, a man named Alex Mason, 63. The motive is still unknown, but no one is surprised that she was run down like an animal.
Shepherd was with her sister enjoying the Alabama/Auburn game with friends. Although they were pulling for Bama, the loss didn’t destroy them. It was that lack of anger that set one guest off. Adrian Laroze Briskey pulled out gun and shot her. She has been released on $75,000 bail; Shepherd is dead. She died in her sister’s arms. Shouldn’t Briskey lose her freedom for longer than 72 hours? Does killing an innocent woman mean anything? Instead, she gets shot then run over by the wheels of justice.
Kristy Robinson, 35, was confronted by the father of her young son at her home. Her 15 and 8 year-old boys were upstairs. According to news reports, the boys didn’t witness the murder, but they heard the shot. That shot would be heard over and over as long as those boy are alive. The killer committed suicide some time later. I still can’t find a tribute or photo of Ms. Robinson.
We’re the disposable sex; a species of no consequence. According to the website saynotoviolence.org, “In the United States, 83 per cent of girls 
aged 12 to 16 experienced some form of sexual harassment in public schools.” It begins early when females start to understand where they fit into American society – not in the board rooms or big business. Every time women are negated in society, it becomes part of the problem. Don’t be part of the problem.
YOU’RE EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US.
