Monstrous Public Cruelty

Security was unusually tight Thursday as four young men made their first court appearance in last weekend's two hour long public gang rape at a Richmond High School in Northern California.

The Torah teaches how the human being was the last to be created in the Six Days of Creation, all of the animals preceded the human being, but only man rapes–this hideous human trait takes on broader proportions when witnessed publicly by an unsympathetic crowd recording the event on their cell phones.

Perhaps there is so much digital stimulation of a violent nature and so much reporting real video in both sex and violence that a new norm has been established at the lower end of the economic pyramid? Whatever the answer, a human being devoid of compassion is worse than any animal who acts instinctively according to their nature.

It is the compassion that we show to one another which draws the spiritual light from the heavens down into the earth; without compassion God has no use for the earth–the human being is the deciding factor through the use of our free choice. This vicious attach on this 15 year old girl is somehow not as horrific as those who stood by and watched.

To certain events there is no Cabala.
