Last night while I was walking to the gym and then again while I was heading home, I missed all the hub-bub. Actually, I guess being a New Yorker, I just ignored the sirens. Just about a block from where I live, a 21 year old girl was murdered – her throat slashed.

Her neighbors heard the struggle and screaming, but no one came out to see what was going on. I understand how you don’t want to get involved and risk getting hurt, but doesn’t your gut make you run to the door? Maybe I’m an idiot for checking on my neighbors when I hear screams (always with a bat in hand), but that’s just me – maybe I’ve been lucky too. I just can’t understand how easy it is for some people to take someone else’s life.

Story says that the boyfriend who was in the apartment with her, stepped out for a few minutes to move his car and when he came back, he found her dead on the floor. I’m sure he’ll be under investigation, and if he didn’t do it… he’s got a lifetime of guilt to live with.
