It hasn’t been that many years ago in Louisiana that those SOBs would have been tracked down and left hanging from a bridge. Justice used to be swift.

**********************************
Same as when I was growing up in TX in the ‘40-’50s. LEOs had lots of citizens’ help and skin color didn’t matter.

No a/c in those days, so people slept with only screens on windows in the Summer. I recall a rapist roaming about one Summer in the area, removing the screens and raping the women. ...........People in my neighborhood were nailing the screens to the houses. Most of the nearby families would gather after supper on the cooler East lawn of my corner lot house, with coolers of beer and watermelon for us kids. Quilts were spread for kids and lawn chairs were brought for adults, as we all had to wait until 10-11pm to go to bed after the houses had cooled down a little. ....During those times, every male adult had a sidearm with him.

Apologies to all for going off topic a bit. Old memories.
