One in four children being victimized? That's about seven children in every classroom. That's a significant proportion of the population.
We have to keep in mind that it's not just about the numbers of people who died; it's also the manner which many of these victims met their deaths.
Well can I just make a point about the numbers because people talk a lot about police numbers as if police numbers are the holy grail. But actually what matters is what those police are doing. It's about how those police are deployed.
I think the record speaks for itself. These are two individuals who have been for the war when the headlines were good and against it when their poll ratings were bad.

When media coverage sets up a binary opposition between 'the accuser' and 'the accused,' there is no longer a victim or even an alleged victim - a flesh and blood person who was harmed by the violent act of another.
One thing we cannot put a number on is the number of casualties because people were never connected to their purpose in life.
There is always strength in numbers. The more individuals or organizations that you can rally to your cause, the better.
