They had not done the easy and obvious thing — call 911 — though they were in a store full of phones. They hadn’t asked one of Apple’s two security guards to bang on Lululemon’s doors to see if everything was okay. They had shirked simple

I thought this was a little callous - on the author’s part. It’s easy to say “you should have done this, you should have done that” after the fact. “Shirk simple civic responsibility” as if they did it with malicious intent. Could they have dialed 911? Yes. Should they have? Now that we know after the fact that it was a murder going on, then yes, they should have. But they didn’t know at the time. Could they have acted more on the cautious side? Of course they could have. But to be pointing a finger at them, sort of making them responsible for it? That’s a low blow.

“Marriage wasn’t a solution. In fact, it felt like the most foolish thing to do - running straight into another draining world, one ruled by the institution of marriage, in-laws and patriarchy. Besides, it didn’t seem like any man was going to sweep me off my feet and turn me into a fool anytime soon - and that wasn’t something I wanted anyway.”
