Cape Fear

I cannot conceive such evil. I do not understand what can go through the mind of a human to inflict so much pain on another. Are they sick? Insane? Traumatized? Psychopaths? It may be one or the other, or all at the same time. But above all, they are perversely evil. They know the damage they are causing.

Once again evil in its pure state, or impure. The FBI arrested four people involved in a sexual exploitation network that used women as slaves. The girls were chained in dungeons. The hideout was covered with whips and torture devices. The photograph from AP shows the squalor of the place. The pictures do not transmit the odors, but I can imagine them.

In cape fear you cannot laugh. Perhaps shortly after being imprisoned, those women could not even cry. The five minutes I remained locked in the hole where Ortega Lara was held captive by ETA for hundreds of days and nights do not leave my mind. It was only during a few minutes for a report, but each time a place of such sorts is in front of my eyes this comes to mind and scourges my soul.

I cannot conceive such evil. I do not understand what can go through the mind of a human to inflict so much pain on another. Are they sick? Insane? Traumatized? Psychopaths? It may be one or the other, or all at the same time. But above all, they are perversely evil. They know the damage they are causing.

I can only pray that these women, who have been victims of this band of swines, are able to rebuild their lives. To find humans that love them, care for them, but most importantly value and respect them as anyone deserves to be. It is not easy to forget so much horror, so much evil. When you have sailed through Cape Fear it is never forgotten. I know what I talk about; I know what I am writing about.
