Fucked up ending to a fucked up situation

[Longshot231]

I was never involved in the drug culture. I saw too many dumb-ass hippies that were too stoned to know how to get toilet paper off the roll to wipe their asses. That's probably why they smelled worse than a hog farm in July.

Nevertheless while we are on the subject of drugs and rockabilly music, permit me to submit this musical rockabilly treasure from 1960. I heard the song a few times as a kid and wasn't able to find it on record till sometime in the late 70s. Now it's on YouTube. I think you can also get it on iTunes.

The title and lyrics were changed to "Gooseball" instead of "Goofball" because the record company didn't want to make any reference to the use of amphetamines by over the road truck drivers.



The second video is also dedicated to those fellow citizens who have had fiscal difficulties with the local constabulary or system of jurisprudence. It's also another Jim & Jessie rendition.



Who can't forget the "Man in Black" and the "Cocaine Blues?" If you listen to the lyrics there is a moral to the song. The last stanza says:

"Come on you've gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be"

Sadly the song seems to glorify drug use and murder. Even more sadly, I think that the moral is lost in the rhythm of the song.

I don't know the facts of the case anymore that what's here. At first glance, it looks like she was justified in killing the scum bag. Like I said, I don't know anymore than what's posted here.

If what they say is true, and I were on the Jury, I would have voted for acquittal.

Cases like this are where the attributes of patience, observation, concealment, distance, marksmanship, easily replaced firing pins, and remage barrels all intersect.

Leave no trace, as they say...………….

This reminds me of a rumor that used to be repeated in Chicago.
For many years cons that had slipped through the loopholes of the "law" would disappear or be found in lake Michigan.
It would seem for once the criminals were living in fear.
I believe they were called the Ghosts or something to that effect.

Well, when the citizens of a crime infested region keeps appealing to the authorities for assistance but only receive lackluster and canned replies, people tend to start sorting things out themselves.

The idea of militias and community defense organizations were not new. They existed since mankind started building communities. The gold rush days San Francisco Committee Of Vigilance was one of the most effective and were known to take care of business very handily. The Lincoln County Regulators was another one.

Criminals only pay attention to fear and force. How many times do you see calloused murderers and rapists laugh in the courtroom and even mock their victims' families sitting in the stands? Too many times... Do you think they will still laugh when scumbags released on "good behavior" or technicalities (cry me a fucking river) begins to turn up bound and shot in remote locations or even not so remote locations? I bet it will stop very quickly.

PS: "Ghosts" is a VERY good name for a vigilante organization. It really instills fear. The name has always been associated with ninjas, hit groups, special operations commandos, mercenaries and the like. Whoever was doing the cleaning up in Chicago must have been someone whose parents or children had been murdered or brutalized by scumbags. It takes a certain level of hatred combined with motivation to do these kinds of activities.

Funny thing to be typing this right now as I am watching Oldboy (Park Chan-Wook, 2003)

I met a couple of those ghosts that retired around down to the Tampa Florida area, noted their distinct bluish tints in their ghostly appearance. WW2 vets, and, ghosts who put in 30 in Chicago...
Dead now, secrets carried to the grave...

Close. "Invisible souls leave .308 holes."

As much as I dislike "60 Minutes," they did a good exposé on the dispatching of the scum-bag, Ken McElroy. However, the video seems to have disappeared from YouTube. Nevertheless, this video does a good job of summarizing how this town finally had enough of this deadly bully.

I've had to deal with people like this. What I have learned is that you have to speak softly (or don't speak at all) and carry a big stick.

If something happens to a bully you know and nobody has witnessed it; oh well, c'est la vie. It's also worth noting that in this day an age there are surveillance cameras everywhere.

Which also begs the question about some people that are caught on camera doing the crime but never do the time. Which tells us that there are people that the "system" seems to protect.

Yet, when someone has finally had enough and the system hasn't protected them and they get caught on camera when they take matters in their own hands that same system is relentless in punishing the real victim instead of a bully who got what they deserved.

Never hear of Seth Rich. Got more information?

Edit: Wasn't he an IT guy that was working for the DNC or the Clintons then wound up dead in NYC? The cops said robbery was the motive but he still had his wallet?
