Something appeared on our local news last night that just makes me so upset. Only a couple of my friends seem to care, but everyone else I talk to about it just laugh it off. There was a report about a series of rapes that have been taking place in the Mall of Abilene parking lot. Right in public. Perhaps the most public place in town. Yet the management have done nothing until recently (it's been going on since mid-August, according to the report) because they "didn't want to alarm anyone". So they never reported it, and they aksed the victims to stay quiet about it (from what I heard) so it didn't disrupt their business. Finally one of the victoms spoke out and went to the local news station, who sent a camera crew to the Mall. From what I am told, the management denied it at first, but t hen the police were called and demanded to see the security tapes. They didn't play them on tv (for obvious reasons), but they said you couldn't see enough detail to tell who did it. They still haven't caught him, and he is still out there...

...Oh, and this wasn't Top Story. This was one of the last minute news peices.
