11. Law Enforcement in Ohio is pathetic.

Cleveland, and Ohio in general, has a history of ignoring men who attack women. Here is a link to the wiki page about the Cleveland Strangler who murdered 11 women: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Sowell. There were many complaints about the smell from the house where he lived and kept the bodies of the murder victims in his house. There have been a string of disappearances near the Ohio State University campus in Columbus over the years. The crimes on women can be listed by the thousands. Rape, domestic violence, abuse of female victims such as Steubenville, murders of women, especially low income women, are standard and are never properly investigated in this state. It really is a nightmare for victims. It is outrageous.

So glad these brave and resourceful young women are free at last. Kudos to the guy (he did more than the entire Cleveland police force) who helped the young lady who was trying to get out that front door.
