Upon hearing of the brutal and senseless murder of Kate Steinle in the sanctuary city of San Francisco earlier this month, I thought about this article I authored/published on May 26th, 2007.

John Green later reflected on his daughter being born on September 11, 2001, and now dying in this massacre. Born – and died – on two very emotional, senseless and tragic days for America; yet, said Green, the nine years in between were magical for his little girl as well as for them.
Their group was “liberal in wanting to change the way the world was run, we both wanted to. He took it to an extreme I never would’ve.” She said he was a “political radical” long before the teaparty, Glenn Beck, or Sarah Palin came on the scene.
