(via After the death of beloved Esme Barrera, does Austin need a head check?)
Be safe, ladies of Austin. And men, walk your girl friens to their car or their doorstep.
I’ve been thinking about this a lot over the past few days. It’s weird being so sad about the death of someone you never met or even knew of, but Esme seemed like an amazing person and it’s just hard to comprehend that she was killed in such a way. I’ve always felt extremely safe in Austin - and I’ve always been pretty fearless (walking alone late at night isn’t really that uncommon for me) - so it’s very jarring in that sense as well. Until this guy is caught I won’t be resting easy.
