34. As a mother and someone
Edited on Mon Jun-08-09 06:59 PM by DesertRat
whose sister and brother in law were murdered, it only brought me some peace to see justice served. We fought long and hard to bring it about, even though we didn't get the penalties that we sought. Protesting out in front of the killer's home would not have done that. It might have initially helped my rage to harass and protest those responsible. But I needed to find some peace along the way to continue the rest of my life for my sake and the sake of my husband and children. I had to pursue justice and then find some positive, life affirming work to help me carry on in my life.

I have a son who is the age that Casey would be today and my heart breaks for Cindy's incomprehensible loss.

But I think that if Cindy's motivation is to deal with her anger as you suggest, I am sure that protesting W's house and hounding him the rest of his life will not serve her purpose. Has she gone to Washington and tried to speak with President Obama? He's the one in power. W has no power.
