This is beyond outrageous. Non-native men are responsible. No investigations, no indictments, no trials, no convictions. This is in the general region of where I come from. It's our version of the Mexican borders maquilordoras, where sexual kidnapping, torture and murder happen with impunity.
When did my part of the world become like this, filled with men making war on the most defenseless, children and women? O.k. granted I come from the bottom of the Red River Valley, which is far from the North-South Dakota Standing Rock stateline-bridging reservation. But I read in the Fargo Forum, and even the smaller towns' papers, every week of terrible crimes involved torture and beating and kidnapping and rape, of small children, of girls, young women, old women. This wasn't going on when I was growing, lucky for me.
This nation is beyond sick.
And, I truly fear, beyond healing.

sick indeed. In Fargo yesterday an eighteen year old guy tried to kill another guy with his SUV. The police said he seemed proud of himself.
