The officer was supportive. "Crazy guys like these are the worst," he said. "You never can tell what sets them off." We all agreed that it wasn't worth the risk. I suddenly remembered reading about a murdered woman found with her restraining order knifed to her chest. The cop told us to tape all of Ron's messages and left us with one final thought:
"You need to protect yourselves from this guy," he said in a low voice. "By any means necessary. Know what I mean, ladies?"
We knew what he meant. Gun ownership is illegal in the District, but then again, so is picking out a relative stranger and deciding to kill her. The officer stood up and gave us a little wave as he turned and left the station.
