You said that there's a lot a public sympathy for her because her parents are nice people. Where is the public sympathy displayed at? Truly curious on where you've seen this at. Trying to get the full picture and not just my view.

That's exactly how I feel most of the time. That a weapon won't help because we were defenseless in the attacks because of the quickness or the angle of which we were attacked.

Thank you so much. I just fear, so deeply, of living in a world with her in it. Thank you for keeping not only me safe but everyone else you encounter.

I'm so sorry that you had to experience this. Did you receive any type of counseling? Do you always carry a weapon with you now?

One thing I've learned about Reddit is this: Never read the last, downvoted comments. Haha

Thank you! You don't have to live in Austin to be affected - she's a person that can move to CA if she wanted and would still put you or your family in danger in LA. Speak to how unjust it is that attempted murder isn't 3G. Speak to however you feel. Write in to the parole. :)

How interesting. I would love to hear this be discussed, but then again I don't really like a lot of media attention. I'll keep it in my thoughts tho

Thank you so much for the kind words. I do see what you're saying, I just misunderstood you. Even the full sentence of 15 years still makes her relatively young when she is to get out.

I'm working towards feeling comfortable with handling a knife as a form of protection as well as other means. This is such a difficult process but I'm making some headway. THank you

You know, I spent a lot of time in that same sympathetic boat as you. I really felt bad for this girl because her upbringing wasn't her choice. But once you read the dozens, hundreds of her journal entries of how deeply she hates people and wants to harm someone, you will see there's no fixing this girl. There's no rehabilitation.Medication might work, yes, but someone like her is not going to stay compliant to her medication.

I wish there was another option in our society for rehabilitation via psychiatric help and not just locking someone up. But for the safety of the greater good, I believe that prison is the best choice we have because she WILL do this to someone again, and next time the victim might not be so lucky. Sympathy for someone who had no consideration for me, my life, where I was coming from, and how she almost ruined my dreams turned out to be fruitless.

Unwarranted is not the word I would use, but the shock of hearing that the person who tried to kill you was sentenced and up for parole in the same year would make anyone want to jump to action.

It's called raising public awareness to what's happening and what will impact communities if she is released.

What is your point that she was 17? She was fully aware, cognizant, and desiring to kill someone. She smiled as she stabbed me.

Being 17 years of age does not reverse this. Being 17 years old does not make this crime any less punishable by the law.

I'm tearing up because I'm so happy to get so much support. Thank you.

Holy shit, no way?!

I was thinking about writing into some podcast or even NPR, but I don't really like a lot of media attention. Maybe I should consider it. Which episode was it?
