A brave single mother in Cincinnati is still fighting for her life after trying to save a man from a violent mob attack. Holly stepped between attackers and their victim when she saw them beating a man nearly to death on July 26th. The pack of thugs turned on her like wild animals and slammed her head into the pavement. She suffered severe brain trauma and was left bleeding and unconscious on the street.
Holly is a hero who risked everything to help a stranger in need. She has three children at home but didn’t think twice about jumping into danger to save someone’s life. The attackers showed her no mercy even though she was just trying to help. Her face was so swollen and bruised she could barely drink water for days.
Four suspects have been arrested but the damage is already done. Jermaine Matthews, Dominique Kittle, Montianez Merriweather, and Dekyra Vernon now face serious charges. One of these criminals was already out on bond for gun charges after serving seven years for armed robbery. This is exactly what happens when our justice system goes soft on violent criminals.
The police chief’s response was shameful and tone-deaf. Instead of condemning this savage attack, she tried to downplay what happened. She actually blamed people for not calling police fast enough rather than focusing on the brutal criminals who did this.
Even worse, a city council member tried to defend the attackers. He suggested the victims somehow deserved what happened to them. This is the kind of backwards thinking that lets criminals run wild in our streets. Good people get hurt while politicians make excuses for thugs.
Holly’s story shows what real courage looks like in America today. She put her life on the line for a complete stranger because it was the right thing to do. While politicians talk about unity, Holly actually lived it by stepping up when someone needed help.
This attack happened in broad daylight with people watching and filming. The mob showed no fear of consequences because they know the system won’t hold them accountable. When violent criminals get slaps on the wrist, this is what we get.
Americans like Holly deserve better than streets ruled by violent mobs. We need leaders who will back our police and lock up dangerous criminals for good. Until then, heroes like Holly will keep paying the price for failed liberal policies that put criminals first.
