I Feel Sick

There was a news story last week about a woman who was carjacked and raped in our downtown area. Luckily, she got away when the bastard demanded she drive to an ATM to get him money. She was quick thinking, got out of the car, and ran for her life. She's going to be okay physically, but I can only imagine what mental torment she will be in for the rest of her life.

The sickening thing? The thing that is making my stomach tie itself in knots? The 'man' they arrested was one of my students at the correctional facility. He was one of my favorite students. He was quiet, polite, and always did his work. To think I talked to him on a daily basis. I complimented him. I worked hard to help him get his GED. Now he's out raping and terrorizing women.

I need to go throw up now.
