On Monday, March 8, 1999
Amy Watkins was murdered 2 blocks from her apartment in Brooklyn...
Although I did not have the pleasure of knowing her, her story touched me
deeply.
She was a compassionate and selfless human being who worked with underprivileged
kids and battered women...
26 years old and studying for her masters in social work, she was a gentle,
loving, vegetarian humanitarian.
Someone stabbed her in the back with such force the knife went right through her
body... from all indications it appeared the motive was robbery...
Amy's death is a monumental loss for us as a species... we cannot afford to lose
people like her because they are catalysts for change and they are so rare.
Some people wonder why I don't believe in god...
I believe if there was a "god" something like this could never happen
to such a wonderful person...
and if there is a god who is cruel enough to allow something like this to
happen, I would never support such an entity...
