rest in peace-someone out there knows who you are-such violence against women-why?-gang rape in India of a young medical student, a woman's burning body, a few months ago another woman found dead in the woods-so senseless

I hope they find the bastard. That poor woman in India died was crazy. You would think violence against women would had come to an end in this day and age.

What does it have to do with specifically violence against women? If a man was killed like this no one would be going around saying "violence against man should not be happening in his day and age". You don't even know who did it... it may have been a women for all we know. If you think women don't have equal rights it's because people like you think that women deserve MORE rights than men.

Honestly, very best of warm wishes, from my family to yours.
Let's hope, if only to protect people in the future, that the people responsible first realize what a really horrible thing they did, and are captured to keep them from doing so again.
