56 MILLION.

56 MILLION EYES watched a man’s soul be flayed open on screen. Watched the calculated brutality. Witnessed the crime not hidden in shadow, but BROADCAST. GIFT-WRAPPED FOR OUR CONSUMPTION.

A kidnapped man. Raped by some of the lowest, most depraved.. I can’t type the words that describe them.. Filmed.

We watched. Helplessly? Maybe. Horrified? Undoubtedly. But HE was not "watched." HE was VIOLATED. AGAIN. AND AGAIN.

Raped. Filmed. Broadcast. His agony, his humiliation, his utter desecration served up for the world's numb consumption.

And what did the world DO?

The powerful? The institutions? The leaders with voices that could shake mountains?

Scrolled.

Acknowledged? Maybe.

Then? Silence. Deafening, monstrous SILENCE.

56 Million Witnesses. 56 Million Silent Partners in the Rape of a Soul.
