what a coward

early in the morning on august 13th, an elderly woman named rachel williams woke up in the dark to find a man beating her up. he stole drawers from her bedside table. she referred to him as a coward, saying she guessed he didnt have the guts to beat a man and had to pick on little old ladies.

she was 91.

last night she died.

she had lived in the same house for over 50 years, more than half her life. her house had been broken into 6 times. after this one, she never returned.

apparently the bashing did not cause her death, the official cause is heart failure. but something that traumatic happening to someone of her age, she probably would have lived longer if it hadnt happened.


i am so disgusted that our world has come to this. that women in their 90s can be beat up in their own houses for the contents of a bedside table. that a woman will leave the house she has lived in for more than half her life because she is afraid.

it is disgusting. these people have no respect.
