There is a Vietnamese family that runs a manicure shop two doors down from my apartment. I see them on the street once and a while. We exchange greetings, but we never chat, as their grasp of english isn't very good and my grasp of veitnamese is non-exisatant.
The woman is about 4'11'' and weighs perhaps 90 lbs. she usually comes in to open the shop in the morning with her two small kids in tow. The only thing i can say is that i'm thankful she didn't bring them last thursday.
She showed up around 9:30. When she unlocked the back door to te shop she was pushed inside by a large man. He demanded that she open the safe. The safe in question is about 60 years old. No one has a key to it. Theres nothing in it. She told him this. He responded by beating her into a coma and raping her. He escaped with out being noticed.
I was at work. i had no idea this had happened until just now when my landlady told me.
Please pray for her and her family.
