L&SS-IS

Just how many women are going to be killed while jogging? This is ridiculous!

I was headed to work one early morning, before sunrise, when I saw a young woman walking her small dog in a quiet downtown area. I quickly assessed the situation and decided that I would ask her if everything was alright. I know, "I bothered myself by asking her that odd question!" So, I immediately pondered the reason why I would ask such a question to a total stranger. What came to mind was the time I was walking my little dog 'Misty', around dawn, and veered off too far into an industrial area where there was no traffic flow at that time of day.

After realizing that I had walked too far, I started to turn back when I man in a pick-up truck approached me driving down the opposite side of the road and glaring at me. His actions made me nervous, so I kept walking and looking back to see what he was doing. Low-and-behold, he was making a U Turn to come back and mess with me. Once again, we were facing opposite directions. So, I quickly ran across the street with my dog in my arms.

Altogether, the creep chased me back-and-forth across the street two times, what was supposed to be a third time was when I got up enough courage to yell at him. I yelled, "LEAVE ME ALONE, I DON'T KNOW YOU"!!! The devil took off, and me and Misty ran the short distance to a local store and told the manager what had just happened to me. He ran out to try and look at the back plates, but he wasn't able to catch the guy.

I told this young woman my story, or should I say my testimony to help her to be alert and know who is too close for comfort or behaving weirdly. 

Unfortunately, it is too late for the young ladies who were murdered while jogging. I wish that they had jogged in an area where there were a lot more people around. And the monster Angelo-Colon-Ortiz, 31 who killed Vanessa Marcotte 27, of Massachusetts 'IN BROAD DAYLIGHT' should get the same mercy he showed her when he followed her and assaulted her while trying to rape her but wound up killing her instead. Vanessa fought a good battle with this evil man and was able to get his DNA under her nails. And, there were eyewitnesses who saw him in the area around the time of her death, as reported in the link below to Miami Herald via Yahoo news.  

I look forward to the day when this type of news will no longer be necessary because no more innocent people will be killed just doing something healthy as jogging.
