I'ts sad, very sad that any human being would do this to another. Sad that they could do this. Sad that they had no probable cause other than curiosity and the want to inflict pain on others. This is hard to get through, this blog, this sentence, this word. This will not be like my other posts. Do you ever just want to scream at the whole world? Scream that they don't understand, that they don't get it, that they are wrong? I cannot even fathom the ways of this world, but then again, I suppose no one can. Saturday, a man dressed as an exterminator rode an elevator to the fith floor in a local apartment complex. That same day, 64 year old Doris Gillesby also rode the elevator up to her apartment on the fifth floor after a quick trip to the groceries. He approaches the woman, then mathodically douses her from head to toe with an accelerant. The footage from the camera in the elevator shows Doris cowering, with shopping bags hanging from her wrists. "Having cornered the woman in the elevator, the man struggles to light a barbecue lighter. He then ignites a Molotov cocktail — a wine or Champagne bottle filled with accelerant with a rag stuffed in its neck. He retreats and comes back again, spraying more liquid on his victim. And suddenly the silent video goes white with a conflagration in the small space: the woman, on fire." If that doesn't make you sick, than I doubt your humanity.
The author of this article, Al Baker, was disturbingly clear. Painfully honest. He stated the facts, and let the truth shake the foundation of the reader. He was blunt, and this may have shocked readers, but that was his intention. This act is hard to believe because we never like to think that our fellow human beings are capable of such atrocities, but we are...Logos, pathos, whatever, one more name in the obituaries, one more body in the morgue, one remaining question: why?

this is beyond disturbing. it is horrifying to think that people are capable of such horrendous things. I think the author did the right thing in being blunt and honest in his article as hopefully it will prevent events like this from happening in the future.
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to be human after reading about this. if he is capable, then anyone is, its extremely frightening.
ReplyDeleteThis is incredibly sad. I can't imagine why anyone would do that. Unfortunately, I don't think publicizing events like this will prevent them in the future. I wish there was a way that we could stop stuff like this from happening though.
ReplyDeleteKaylee, don't be ashamed of being human, we are capable of horrible things but on the reverse we are capable of amazing things. To be human is to be flawed, some are just more flawed than the others. It's sad and disgusting, and yes, we are all capable of doing things like this man did, but by showing this disgust sadness I think it just speaks more to your character, that you would never do something like that.
