Lojo has something she needs to get off her chest.

A little over a year ago, the city that I now call home experienced a horrific murder of a young woman. Read about it here. Apparently the admitted murderer will be sentenced today. Read about that here.

I am pretty jaded when it comes to the potential darkness of people and I am not easily shocked when I read or hear about horrific events. But when my mom told me about this murder shortly after it happened, a lump welled in my throat and I just wanted to put my head in my hands and cry. Why? Because the young woman, Teagan Klein, was not the only person victimized at the scene. So was her three year old son. Who, if I recall correctly, was injured and found hiding in a closet(?) at least twelve hours after the murder took place.

Being the day of Douche Bag's sentencing, the event is resurfacing in the news as it has a few other times over the last year. What bothers me is how the media reports I am hearing now, and have heard throughout the year, fail to mention this poor child, let alone the fact that he was assaulted, potentially witnessed his own mother's murder, then hid in the house, terrified and alone for at least twelve hours.

While I don't expect the media to refer to the murderer as Piece of Shit Douche Bag when reporting on the event, I do think it's important to mention that he also victimized a helpless child and changed his life in one of the most emotionally damaging ways possible. That being said, I stick my middle finger high in the air, as I encourage all other people with a soul to do, and send a loud "fuck you" to Piece of Shit Douche Bag while he awaits sentencing today.

May he get fiercely ass pummelled by skinhead neo-Nazis in prison.
