Sanctuary

The beautiful young woman in the photograph to the right is dead.

Murdered by a man who should never have been loose on the streets of an American city.

Murdered as well by politicians who ranked  popularity and power above the rule of law, and have chosen to ignore the acts of the legitimate legislators of the peoples will to curry favor with some potential future base of support.

If we were truly a nation of laws, not men, the host of pandering politicians and bureaucrats who enabled this crime would find themselves on trial for their lives as accessories before the fact.

Let the plaintive  tones of today's music serve as a lament to the passing of both Kate Steinle, and the rule of law.

There is no sanctuary from those who would rule in their own name, and by their own will.
