This is fascinating. What better way to prove that people care and that life is worth it? The power of total strangers to band together is truly amazing. Thanks for writing this.

Exactly, it is a sad story but I instead look to the good that came out of it.

that is SERIOUSLY disturbing but i remember a story last year about a girl in DC who was mugged, assaulted, and had her phone stolen outside her home, she went in and tweeted asking people to call 911 and they did. crazy. .-= Lusty Reader´s last blog ..Three Days to Dead, by Kelly Meding =-.

Immense sadness. Also, stark proof that we’re still just people despite all the tech-savvy masks we’ve learned to wear in the last decade.
