Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

This is rather off-topic but I am compelled to write about it. In Tennessee, a man attacked a 33 year old woman, the mother of his child, and he ripped out both of her eyes. You can read about it here:

A witness said that he sat on top of her, and with his hands, he just ripped her eyes out. Both of her eyes. So, she is now forever blind. 

How could anybody do such a thing? How is that degree of monstrousness possible in any human being? How could anybody even conceive of doing such a thing? 

You realize that this is worse than anything that occurs in Nature. It's difficult to watch video of predator and prey, and it makes me wonder why anyone bothers to believe in God, since if there was a God, why would he design the world like that? Why would that be part of his grand plan? 

But, this is far worse than that. In that case, the predator is just trying to get fed. It's not as though a lion can eat grass. But, in this case, it was gratuitous torture, horror, agony, and excruciation- and beyond anyone's worst nightmare.

So, it would be a big mistake to call this guy an animal. It would be a tremendous verbal abuse of animals to do that. No, he isn't an animal; he is a monster, a demon, a vicious miscreant of unfathomable magnitude and cruelty.  

How did he come to exist? He was born of a woman, but he didn't come out of her that way. So, how did he become what he is? And how many like him are walking the Earth among us? And have there always been monsters as bad as him in the human race? Or is this a new modern development? 

And I can only imagine how a story like this affects women. It gives me the jitters, and I'm a man. I'm not a big man, but I am big enough, and I am strong enough, that nobody is going to tear my eyes out. But, with the exception of highly trained, highly athletic women, men are generally a lot stronger than women. It's a fact of life. But, if there is even one man who is capable of doing this to one woman, and now we know that there is, then how vulnerable and threatened by men are women in general? 

I am truly disgusted and revolted about this.
