I grew up in a somewhat rough part of Chicago where fighting was an inescapable part of growing up, even for a bookish little girl like me.

The worst that happened was somebody got a bloody nose.

This - what happened to this young man

It’s just so wrong. The person who did it should never be allowed to be part of society again.

But we know how that goes.

It’s just so awful. So sorry.
