Stabbed

This is Dana. On the 9th, her stalker ex-boyfriend threw a brick through her sliding-glass door, entered her house and stabbed her current boyfriend 12 times, with three deep stabs around the heart. He then attempted to kidnap her, she got away and he stole her car and totaled it after wrapping around a telephone pole. She said the passenger side was entirely obliterated. So if he had got her into the car, she could be dead. Miraculously, her boyfriend survived the stabbing and had recovered very quickly. Unfortunately, he wants nothing to do with the press, so we have no access to the hospital. The floor of the kitchen was covered with blood after the stabbing. She said it was slippery as ice. Apparently, she would come home late, turn on her light and he would be standing in the kitchen. He would also crawl through her house late at night when she was sleeping. And he stole her digital camera apparently for drugs. But legally, she could only get so far, and he was seemed to get off without trouble. So this, in addition to a human suffering story, is a story about system failure.
This is the glass from the broken sliding-glass door. (It's a toy car)

These photos made me sad. You could really feel her despair. But I guess that was the point, right?
