After that, Richmond High was blasted with anonymous e-mails saying the school — and the whole city — should be quarantined. The message struck a nerve, says sophomore Lizette Franco.
"We don't want it to be our identity, because there is so much more to Richmond than what they're portraying in the media. We're not animals. We're not savages," Franco said. "We're students striving to be better people."
No, when you are trying to determine if a dog is rabid, you test, and then you quarantine it until you determine if it is safe to be among decent animals and people.
This community has failed, and much like Hashima, it should be abandoned, or at least separated from the rest of the world.
Listen to the story on NPR, listen to the nonchalance in the voice of the 9-1-1 caller after this young woman had been gang raped for two hours, in the view of a crowd and within distance of four homes.
No, Richmond, you have failed...and you may need to be put down.
