(Patty McMurray) I admit, I am fired up about this story. It strikes a nerve on so many levels – paternal, cultural, political – that a review of the intentional, race-motivated, and horrific murder could do no less.

Though one need not be a parent to emotionally connect to the murder of 14-year-old Ryan Rogers, as a father I can’t help but have the idea reinforced that there are much better and stronger individuals than myself. I am not sure how any parent could restrain themselves against the monster that repeatedly stabbed my child in the face and head with a knife until their life was mutilated out of them.
For the many readers likely ignorant of the story, the Post Millennial ran a recap the other day. In short, the young Ryan Rogers, who is white, was riding on his bicycle when the accused, an older black man by the name of Semmie Lee Williams, attacked him for no reason with a knife, and in the words of the Post Millennial, “allegedly stabbed Ryan Rogers multiple times in the face and head near an I-95 overpass.” It is beyond sickening to mentally replay the experience.
My heart aches for the survivors of this young person. There will never be closure, and the family will doubtless relive their son’s agonizing final moments in their heads forever. How could you not? I am at once beyond heavyhearted and livid. Imagine how they feel.
I sat on this story for several days before writing about it. Again, regardless of politics, a family lost their son in a senseless act of inhumanity. Sometimes nothing else needs or should be said. Let the family grieve. Not everything needs to be made into a response to culture and politics.
That being said, I am fired up. I needed to respond. The wholly tragic, preventable, and buried story of the Ryan Rogers’ anti-white murder strikes a different nerve because very few people will ever know about it. That’s an entirely different tragedy. I can’t help but draw parallels to the case of Ahmaud Abery.
Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

See: My school records. Try bring a white boy growing up where they sell crack. My neighbor was LITERALLY Felicia. Me and D-Bo(Jeff) grew up together and I am 6’1″-225 so at least I never got picked up by my throat one handed but I did get jumped. I was warned not to be on the street I was born on. Why? Im white. Did you miss that? Now, I know it’s not racist because they aren’t white but, isn’t it still wrong? (a little CRT humor) -ONE (it’s the answer)
