    .. this sounds like a project for bellingcat ..
    are you familiar with bellingcat ?

    Here & there I witness witless losers, losing it
    They vent their failures, their imaginary superiority
    on random, unsuspecting victims, usually women
    Or worse.. it is manifested as a vicious assault.
    Frighteningly, it may be upon children as well

    Props to the Georgia congresswoman for bearing up
    and props to her for stepping forward..
    For her advocates, defenders.. the same

    For whomever assaulted her, her child..
    well.. natural consequences may unfold
    and if they do.. it won't be pretty
    no, not at all ..

      You mentioned bellingcat in an earlier comment, Sal, and I checked it out. It seems they offer some pretty impressive resources for citizen journalists. I wonder how many people are familiar with it. Clearly, mainstream media, with their strapped and always-dwindling resources, can use boost in disseminating important stories.

    .. at times, I can be pretty negative.. my comments scathing mayhap.. but I do hope well aimed.. But I really wanna be the guy that sends or lends inspiration.. so here's one for you.. we lost Johnny.. but his music inspires .. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g48_fqX7KJc#fauxfullscreen ..

    can we not find a 'great heart' .. where the spirit thrives within.. do we have to suffer the thin gruel ? The paltry or putrid offerings ? Can we not have a woman or man who startles our imagination, our belief .. who takes our hand as we take theirs ? I give not a shite for a political party.. I only ask for a 'great heart'

      Many thanks for the link to Johnny Clegg, Sal. A timely reminder for souls struggling to stay above water.
