Paul warned us that as the Last Days approached people would get more brutal, more violent and simply more out of control.
This next article describes an event that is so unbelievable that a person can't even imagine it happening just 20-30 years ago....yet today the stories of video rapes aren't all that uncommon.
CHICAGO (AP) -- The mother of a 15-year-old girl whose apparent sexual assault was streamed live on Facebook said Wednesday that her daughter has received online threats since the attack and that neighborhood kids have been joking about it and harassing her family.
The woman, who was reunited with her daughter on Tuesday after two days of searching for the girl, said her daughter is staying with a relative and is scared to come home. She said she shares her daughter's fear.
"This is just disturbing and to think the kids think it is funny," the mother, 32, told The Associated Press. The AP isn't naming her to protect the identity of her daughter.
She said that since the attack, people have threatened on Facebook that "they are going to get her" daughter and that neighborhood children have been laughing about the incident and ringing the family's doorbell looking for the girl. She said she's shocked by the callousness people have shown since the attack, which was viewed live by about 40 people on Facebook Live - none of whom reported it to the police.
"I can't stay here," she said of Lawndale, the West Side neighborhood where her family lives. "I have other kids, too. I let them walk to school and now I have to take them."
Police said Wednesday that they hadn't arrested anyone in the attack, which involved five or six men or boys. A police spokesman, Anthony Guglielmi, said the girl knows at least one of her attackers and that investigators are making good progress identifying those involved.
Andrew Holmes, a local activist, said a friend of the girl's mother called him Monday asking if he could help find the video online and get it to the police, which he did. He said to him, the video showed that the girl was frightened and trying to get away.
"You could see where she was fearful. ... You could see the look of fear and where she is resisting, pushing back," he told the AP. "It looked like ... she was in total shock."
Holmes said in the video shows someone pulling the girl to a bed as she struggled to get away. He said he was struck by the indifference of the others who were there.
"Other individuals were there standing around and talking and someone says, 'Cut the lights off,'" he said, adding that the lights kept going on and off during the video, which was several minutes long.
The mother said her daughter was still terrified after police found her.
In what kind of fallen society do the kids watch a rape video of their neighbor girl and think it's 'funny'?
In what kind of fallen society do men stand around and watch the rape of a 15 yr old girl while holding up their phones to record the rape?
Only a generation ago many men would have risked their own lives to protect the honor of a young woman who was in trouble.
So what has changed?
2 Timothy 3
But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
