On Friday in Pittsburgh, Charles McKinney attempted to talk to Janese Talton-Jackson at a bar. News reports say that when she turned him down and left the bar, he followed her and shot her in the chest, killing her. He has since been arrested.

Our thoughts go out to her family and friends. This never should have happened.

Her death happened just three weeks after a man shot and killed Texan Sara Mutschlechner after one of her friends in her car told the man and his friends that their derogatory and sexual comments were offensive.

Both women were in their 20s, with their whole lives ahead of them. That they died in this senseless, needless way is both infuriating and sad.

At what point do we say, enough? At what point do we as a society vow to take this issue seriously?
