In Spain, a 13-year-old girl was kidnapped and raped by a neighbor. The attacker was sentenced to only 9 years in prison.
After serving just 6 years of his sentence, he was released on parole and returned to the city. One day he ran into the girl’s mother near a bus stop.
He asked her with a mocking tone: “How’s your daughter doing?” That was her breaking point. She bought gasoline, went back, doused him with it, and set him on fire.
The man suffered severe burns and died a couple days later.
She didn’t run. Even though she was in a state of shock, she told the people around her what she had done and waited for the police to show up.
She was sentenced to 5 and a half years in prison, but thanks to a massive public campaign calling for her pardon, she was freed.
a man gonna treat you exactly how he feels about you. a man that wants you fr ain't leaving no space & opportunity for you to think anything else..i promise
“He has childhood trauma.” So do I.
“He’s under a lot of pressure at work.” So am I.
“He’s just overwhelmed.” Me too.
The only difference is that we excuse men’s behavior, and shame women for not carrying it.
I ain’t never claimed to be innocent. 😭 I’ll tell you exactly where I was wrong. I’ll apologize when I mean it. I’ll own my attitude, my mouth, my decisions. What I WON’T do is let somebody paint me like I woke up and randomly chose violence. 😂 Every version of me somebody hates was created by an experience they conveniently leave out. I’m not proud of every reaction… but I know exactly what triggered it. That’s the difference.
the air quality sucks, the food gives you explosive diarrhea, we have no public transport, medical care is unaffordable, they’re tearing down forests to build AI data centers and I still have to clock in for work
My wife and I got into it last night about the grocery bill.
I pulled up an old Target order from February 2020.
28 items. $64.50.
Added every single one back to the cart just to see.
$158.30.
Same 28 items. Same store. Same cart.
$93.80 more.
In five years.
We didn’t buy more.
Didn’t upgrade anything.
Didn’t add a single extra item.
Just needed the same things we always needed.
They told us inflation was transitory. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was strong.
Our cart didn’t get any of those memos.
145% increase in five years.
Not one member of Congress has looked at a grocery receipt in decades.
And it shows.
nobody can ever gaslight me into thinking i'm a bad person. i have my ways and my days, but i'm solid, my love is real and genuine every step of the way.
