Inconceivable

I am right now literally trembling in uncomprehending anger and rage. I just cannot believe this.

Gay women get battered at children's school

And here's the Facebook Group that has the story as told by the women themselves.

I'm speechless with anger. I'm sitting here and I just... I know violence is no answer to violence, but I would happily beat this man within an inch of his fucking life right now. Except that I would never do that to his kids. But I fear for what his kids may grow up and become, under his influence.

I'm so mind boggled and filled with such despair right now, I can't even say.

I just... I'm crying, I can't even...

ETA: There's a rally going on in downtown Oshawa friday at 7:00. I'm having company, but I'm taking a couple hours out of the night to go anyway. Anyone else that is local(ish) I invite to come too.

People are such fucking assholes. And the worst part is it's not like this is an isolated incident or something unheard of.

With any luck they can add a hate crime charge to the assault. Or however that works; I'm not quite sure.

I hate people.

I don't like to be violent but, good Lord, if this isn't the kind of behavior that begs for a good, solid right cross then I don't know what is. I hope they prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law, and that both ladies involved are able to overcome both their physical and emotional injuries.

My words, aloud, when I finished reading were, and I quote:

"That's fucking ridiculous."

I mean, it's absurd. So far out of my comprehension that I just can't even wrap my mind around it.

And for that, I'm glad, but I weep for the children.

There's a rally downtown Friday night. Maybe we should all go to that!

I saw that story earlier. No words.

Trying to focus on positive things: Protests around the world on Saturday. Not in the least just about Prop 8.

And Thinking California should take a cue from CT.
