like an additive crutch, as if the drinks werent enough~state street residential-death cab

so ive spent about 5 hours staring at judges 19 doing a paper on it. such a horrible passage. this levite is bringing back his concubine after she ran away and while he is staying at this house the townspeople demand that he come out so they can rape him. he sends his woman out instead and goes to sleep. they rape her and murder her, and the levite comes out the next morning to take her home after shes been ravaged all night and finds her dead. shit. thats all i can think. one of the greatest tragedies i have ever heard. reminds me of the child torn apart by the hunting dogs in front of his mothers eyes after the general releases them on him for hitting one of the dogs with a stone in the brothers karamozov. that has been burned into my memory, and this passage wont leave either. kinda pathetic how we act towards one another, myself as much if not more than others. i hope if i ever do something like one of these stories that someone will torture and murder me, because i would deserve it. it got me to thinking, lately there have been a number of rapes by soldiers in darfur and the native men are unable to stop it. how horrible would it be to stand there impotent while your child or sister or mother or even wife was taken advantage of. my rage is boiling up within me even thinking about it. father convict me when i am dehumanizing people, i smear the face of god when i hurt your children. bless them
