I just lost a massive post because my connection crashed! -screams-
All I wanted to say is that to the local people of this case: you are not alone in wanting justice for sweet Shaniya. I am in Montreal, Canada, and I am also waiting for the day this beautiful, innocent child gets justice. This case has touched me like no other. And it has baffled me like no other. I simply do not understand how the 2 monsters directly responsible for her torture and murder are not yet on death row. What more does anybody need? They have videotape, for crying out loud. They have the motive, the evidence, the remains of her tiny body to tell exactly what she lived through. There is no mistaken identity, no mistaking ANYTHING!
It makes me practically crazy with rage and grief. I can't understand it except that it is such a devastatingly ugly and graphically violent case that it makes the public too uncomfortable to be reminded that there are people like this in our midst- people seen on videotape carrying a baby girl into a hotel room to brutalize her and a crackhead "mother" who gave her blessing to do it- that it is too much for the public consciousness to deal with. People want to be blind. People want to be ignorant to the ugliness. It's too much to bear to have direct knowledge of something so beyond words and something so awful.
How I wish I could turn back time for this innocent child. How I wish I could scoop her up into my arms and take her away from that life and to something better. How does the world keep turning with so much heartbreak and injustice? There just aren't enough tears to explain it.
