Lately I am seeing a rise in violent attacks!? it seems that everyday a woman is attacked or killed by her Boyfriend, Lover, Friend, or Husband!? what is going on!? and I am not suggesting it is because of the state of emergency.

How devastated her son must have been to go to mom's house for a friendly visit only to find her murdered. RIP.

How can a person kill someone? Walk away and move to Hawaii if something angers you.
