Tears for those who have died & care for those who remain. Parents and friends: Due to the tragic deaths of Mollie Tibbetts and others, it should become a new given that no woman should go hiking or jogging on a trail by herself. May those who have been victimized Rest In Peace.

I wholeheartedly disagree with your assessment that it is a "given" or "should" and certainly the new part. This is not a new phenomena It is a twisted message to send women and men that women's agency and freedom should be curtailed in as simple of an act as being in nature

No one has said that a woman’s agency or freedom should be curtailed. That’s not what this conversation is about at all. It’s simply a realization among responsible people that there is a pattern of violence against women hiking and jogging alone that should not be ignored.

It’s sad it’s come to this! Just a jog or a hike! That a woman can’t be alone to do either. There has to be a better way!

You might want to read my tweet again. I certainly didn’t say that a woman should not jog, hike, or leave the house.

There is no blame here whatsoever. There is simply a mature appraisal of a serious problem in our midst.

Just this morning I read that Mollies’s murderercwas an illegal immigrant. Why no mention of this Marianne?

Statistically, fewer crimes are committed by illegal immigrants than by people who are American citizens. google.com/amp/s/www.washing…
