As Christa Pike, a woman who tortured a girl to death and took a piece of her victim’s skull as a trophy, receives life saving medical treatment following a botched execution, keep something in mind: many states in this country will not give medical treatment to a baby who survives abortion. In fact several states have specifically repealed laws requiring treatment for infants born alive after an abortion. And every single mainstream Democrat in the country opposes any law to protect infants who survive abortions. So this condemned murderer, who earned her execution through her own choices, is getting more humane treatment than infant children who were given a death sentence through no fault of their own. And every Democrat — every single one, no exceptions — empathizes far more with this murderer than with those babies.
In 1924, Hachiko, an Akita Inu, came to Tokyo with his owner, Professor Hidesaburo Ueno of the University of Tokyo. Every morning, Hachiko walked with him to Shibuya Station, and every afternoon he returned to meet him after work.
But in May 1925, Professor Ueno died suddenly and never came home.
Hachiko was taken in by another family, but he continued returning to Shibuya Station, waiting for the man he loved. For almost 10 years, he came back again and again — through rain, snow, and countless ordinary days.
Hachiko died in 1935. By then, his story had become known throughout Japan, and a bronze statue was erected at Shibuya Station in 1934, while Hachiko was still alive.
Today, the statue remains one of Tokyo’s most recognizable landmarks — a quiet reminder of a dog who simply kept waiting for the person he loved. ❤️
