Los Altos Hills incident
I'm not sure if everyone has heard of the incident that happened in Los Altos Hill last week when a girl was running and a "young" man had come up, put a gun to her head and raped her. She got away and got some help but the man had gotten loose and is still out there. She was a young girl in high school that was on a run in the middle of the day. I was talking to one of my good friends that lives around there and goes running and she said, "does this mean that I am not suppose to go running there anymore?" I totally agree with her because in Los Altos Hills, usually you don't really hear about these things happening because it is high up there and not many people go up there unless they live up there. She was talking about how she just ran around the same path that the young girl did almost exactly 24 hours the day before. It is terrible to say that girls would have to run with someone else because there are people out there raping girls in mid-day and have the desire to do that. What makes people have the desire to stalk someone and then rape them? Does anyone ever think this through and second guess themselves?

I'm not defending the man in any way. But what happened was very scary and sad. We should feel comfortable in our own neighborhoods and were we live to enjoy nature and exercise. I think that there is no way in knowing why this guy decided to do such a horrible act. We can say he had a rough life or could have been angry etc. But there is no way to know unless he gave his reasoning. I would like to think he feels remorse and guilt, but I can't help to think he doesn't.
ReplyDeleteSome people don't think the same as others so it really hard to get into the heads of people who commit horrible crimes like that. I think its really terrible not being comfortable in your own town. What worries me is theres no cops patrolling the hills only sheriffs who you barely see around. Hopefully this never happens again. Get some pepper spray just in case.
