impressed with her courage and fast thinking!

I just read the story in the NYT and was glad everyone was OK and the guy is in custody. But I am outraged by people on this very board who simply downplay or just avoid the fact that this has happened again (and will continue to happen the way things are going now).

Perhaps this should be cross posted in LBN or GD?
