On July 25, 2006, during the middle of the day, Jenny Ewing was riding her bike
on the Silver Comet Trail in Atlanta. She had her cell phone with her and was
also equipped with pepper spray. Someone came out of the woods, dragged
her off of her bike and back into the woods. Jenny was strong, and she fought
back scratching and even biting her attacker; however, he ultimately brutally
assaulted her and then beat and kicked her to death. Jenny was vigilant - she
was safety conscious and intelligent. She still didn't have a chance. Because
of this tragedy, my family is committed to making public places safe again.
Many people have voiced the concern that people should not go out in public
alone. Jenny should have been safe alone. No one should have to worry about
being alone in a public place. We should take back our community parks,
playgrounds and recreation areas. Violent criminals are scaring people back
into their houses. It is time for citizens to scare the criminals out of our way.

afraid to be alone.
