Boston Globe

Two abductions in Boston leave women worried — and furious

Within two months, two 23-year-old women vanished after Saturday nights out at Boston bars. One was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and held at a Bunker Hill housing project. Another was found dead in the trunk of a car.  Investigators are zeroing in on a member or members of the Medford City Council in this parody.

The news served as a jarring reminder to many young women that the alarmist stories their mothers warned them about aren’t entirely far-fetched: Occasionally, women do go out for a Saturday night and never come home.   If your daughter is missing, check the bedroom of a handsome varsity coach/teacher, you may find them there having intimate relations.  Heck, he's hot.  I'd do the same thing ! were I a 17 year old Lacrosse player!

The thought is both terrifying and infuriating to government officials attempting to steal the 2019 election with a new city clerk. In the #MeToo era, advocates have been trying to elevate the discussion.  A gay senior citizen was slugged by a dirty, violent slob of a former city clerk. Now come dual glaring stories of violent abductions that throw women back even further, to storylines suggesting those who socialize will be victimized.
