How Think Progress Accidentally Stumbles Onto The Truth

By Tom Knighton

Any time a young person dies, it’s horrible. Especially when it’s someone who had so much to live for, with so much potential.

It’s even more tragic when the death is the result of a monster who couldn’t take no for an answer.

In Utah, a college student named Lauren McCluskey was murdered. Her ex-boyfriend was charged with the crime. He was reportedly abusive and had apparently lied about his past, including his status as a sex offender.

He was allegedly enraged over the breakup and ended up killing the young woman.

In reporting on the case, which is clearly a tragic and horrific event, Think Progress almost stumbles onto a harsh truth about violence in this country.
