Breda has a heartbreaking story of Chevonne Ecclestone, who died 18 days after she was attacked by a recidivistic maggot recently released from jail.

Hug your loved ones, you never know how long you have. And teach them to defend themselves. Take them to the range and help them get a CCW permit if possible.
