Ohio Woman Rescued From Garage: Bodycam

Thank God for these neighbors.  A man saw a woman being shouted at and brought into a garage with both of her eyes blacked so she couldn't see out of them.  For whatever reason he told his wife instead of calling the police.  But she called.

It took the police quite a while to get into the garage.  I have to wonder how terrifying that was for the hostage, to hear them out there laughing and joking, seemingly in no big hurry to get her out.  It's really a wonder the kidnapper didn't kill her.

Fox News has more information here, including more about her injuries.  That's actually my biggest concern about the way she's being treated, that she needs spinal immobilization based on obvious head injuries.

But this is what really, really annoys me about America, from the above link:

"Mozingo has a lengthy rap sheet that includes prison time for abduction in 2011, 2014 and 2019. 

He also held a woman at knifepoint in a Walmart bathroom in 2017, according to records. "

You can abduct a lot of different women in America and still be free to abduct and terrorize someone else.  Consider this guy's arrest record, the fact that he beat this woman with a baseball bat, doused her in gasoline, and threatened her life for days while holding her captive.  Then go read the YouTube comments on the recent case of the woman who molested a 15-year-old boy and got probation-only, where men are convinced that violence against women gets swiftly and harshly punished.  Mozingo did a lot of violence without the justice system putting any meaningful stop to him.

Thankfully the woman, Chloe Jones, survived this ordeal.  The Akron PD does a high volume of high-acuity calls to be sure.  But it is stunning to see how utterly unbothered they were by Jones' predicament.
