Madam Speaker, this individual then took a rock and bashed her head in until she was unrecognizable. Do you know what? Condolences aren't going to do it. I say it to my friend on the other side of the aisle, the ranking member. Feeling bad, feeling sorry, is not going to do it. It doesn't make the difference. All of us here, most of us have been mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, daughters, or sons. You can't imagine how her family feels. People say, ``I know how you feel.'' No, I don't know. I don't know. You don't know. There is something we can do. All this bill does is detain people who have done something wrong, who have broken the law already, and who have the potential to do even worse. All of these cases that I mentioned and many more would not have occurred if we had this law in place. Don't give condolences. Vote for the bill.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, thank you for having this hearing. It is valuable. It is worthwhile, and I know it is only the very, very rudimentary beginning, but it is still good.
