Mob psychology & Richmond gang rape
A 15 year-old girl was gang-raped outside her high school dance at Richmond High School this week. Although there were many witnesses, no one intervened for approximately two hours. Across the nation people are asking, Why didn’t anybody stop this horrific act? Are bystanders responsible in a case like this? Would you have been strong enough to go for help? Or would you have been frightened to leave the group of people watching?

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.

Is it possible to send a text message to 911? Perhaps some of the bystanders who were in fact horrified could have anonamously made contact with police much earlier.
