The United States of Monsters

At least 7 shot, all under age 17, in mass shooting near Indianapolis mall

Here we go again. Guess it's high time we start reading People Shooter. I'll post the next installment shortly. Does this headline kinda resonate with you folks who have read all 8 Installments so far? Young person with a gun in a Mall. Were the victims armed? Probably not. Cops didn't make an arrest yet, but you have to figure it's coming. Questions . . . How is this mindset enabled? Where did the gun come from? Did the Second Amendment contribute to this shooting? Why does the U.S. produce more of these shootings than any other place on the planet?

When the going gets Crazy . . . The Crazies open fire.

What'd Ya Think?

This was sent to me. It's intended to be funny, but doesn't it resonate the truth? No matter what political affiliation we all have, we can still laugh together . . . right? In the U.S. we are all Americans first. Then we have political parties. No need to disrespect each other. Correct?

Comments

I am receiving many comments and, as such, have begin answering them in the order they arrive. They are posted at curt-rude.com It felt like these are very heartfelt questions. I am committed to the Truth as some of you can already attest to. The novels and short stories I have written address issues such as bullying, PTSD, and police abusing the oath of office. My most recent effort, 'People Shooter' is posted as installments on this site if you're interested.

What else needs to be said? . . . Oh I know, have a Happy Easter and remember the less fortunate.

Gosh, I get my life threatened on some sites but yet this comment was deemed naughty. I am committed to the Truth and will continue to see it for what it is. Sorry Mike.

Watching Mike you get the feeling he believes his own B.S. An American Success story that is crash and burning. He doesn't get it, but that was part of his appeal. He was silly and likable. An ex-drug addict born again. Now he's morphed into some kind of delusional fella you feel sorry for. He used to hawk pillows and Egyptian bedsheets, now he's running scared because 'cancel culture' is hot on his heels. It's sad to see a guy like Mike getting led astray for political gain, but all's fair in love and war and politics.

People Shooter #8

“You know, they always let on they know my ma drinks too much or sleeps around. That gets old. I don’t like thinking about it all the time. In school I think about it because they give me the business.” McShuster was relieved to be away from the school. “I mean, I can’t even walk down the hall without a girl rolling her eyes or hoofing it around me. Ain’t official bullying, I suppose, but it still ain’t right in my book.” His voice cracked. “How I stop my ma from doing stuff?”

“I’m still recording. I read you your rights and you are free to remain silent. Is your mother the reason for tonight?”

“Well, I don’t for sure know why I did it tonight. I mean, I get it. School hurts everyone sometimes. Guess just maybe sometimes even if you’re hurting you got to do something. That’s why I did it. I mean, I wasn’t sure so I went to Mister Jerry Timm’s. He the one where the gun was. They in a safe but everyone knows the com.”

“Okay, for the record now. You were teased and it hurt so you went to a Timm’s house. You knew the combination to the safe. Is that right?”

“Yes. I think you know most of it, right? Can I get a phone call now?”

 “Are you calling a lawyer? I can stop this tape any time you want.”

“I need to call work because Dosh is a good boss. He owns Shorty’s by the old train depot. I gotta call so someone can cover tonight. I don’t think I’m going in tonight. My side’s killing me.”

“I am sorry but the last thing you need to worry about is going to work.”

“Look I am trying to do it right. I get hammered by a bunch of cops and feel like they broke my back. I get tossed in a squad car and so why do I have to also get fired now? Answer me that, Officer Dickless Tracey?” He immediately wished he hadn’t said it; the anger had overtaken him; but he knew he should have never said it.

“Look, I’ve been plenty good to you. My Megan—my daughter—was at that damn basketball game tonight. If she had gotten hurt, I’d made damn sure your back was broken. You wouldn’t be walking, let alone flipping burgers!” She too immediately regretted saying it.

After so much hollering and the gun shot ringing in his ears silence reined. The entire evening was too much. Guns had once been fun, but now they were scary. He knew one thing for sure: Once a trigger is pulled, there is no going back. Not like on a computer game. Real life didn’t come with a reset button.

He fixed his gaze on the mountains.

May days in law enforcement resulted in this dialog. Subtle clues to shootings are being dropped here and there. The lady in #7 who is getting huffy really happens. Venting I guess you'd call it. Sheila, many thanks for the feedback. All 8 of the postings are available. Just scroll back to the first one and read away. Mike, I attended the FBI Academy, just after you, way back in the 90's!

Agree to Disagree

I'm not big on say, hostage taking. You know, it's always been a crime and continues to be. Murderous rampages have never been my thing. There is no justifying these vile acts. Nothing new here. Remember Neville Chamberlain's 'peace for our times' effort? How about the 200,000 Hutu who somehow decided it was necessary to murder 800,000 men, women and children? I was in Dublin, Ireland and was told by this individual that he understands the world problems because he grew up during the conflict in Northern Ireland. If it was only so easy. I write for the Truth. That explains my stories of murder, sex assault and bullying.

My Truth and Nothing but My Truth

Shai Louk was attending a Peace Festival. Ironic. She was kidnapped, sexually assaulted, and beheaded. Her attackers paraded her body around the streets of Gaza. Then people brazenly defend her killers. They claim her murderers must answer to a higher order. I know my truth and it is different than others apparently. It is what it is . . .Wrong. Murderers be not proud. A Walk of Shame down the lane of Death & Destruction is in order.

A bridge collapse and the FBI has to be involved. Sad to think, Terrorism has to be discounted as a cause. 

Read

Troubled World to be sure. Read and always be open to New Ideas. The old ones have currently not been on the mark, for a World full of new challenges. What is the cost of War?

Conflict and Struggles


Talk about a passionate struggle. Children growing up in a Warzone. Timeless and something that came about from a chance meeting in Boulder, Colorado. Hit the library and read away.

Communication is essential in these trying times. At times I don't understand. Though compassionate, I'm not following this completely. I shared the following and received this feedback. At times it is imperative to Agree to Disagree. Peace.

Christians are going to have to confront the reality of a 'Sinister Presence' that strives to make us all targets. Buildings will continue to fall, unarmed men, women and children will die and planes will be blown up as the very notion of 'Civilized Behavior' is disregarded. When some find honor in these activities, we all lose. The first step involves embracing the reality of these people and their ideology. Then this mindset will have to be exterminated. God fearing people do not favor this necessity . . . but that does not diminish it.

This guy is pulling out the stops. MAGA hats and Lets go Brandon shirts. The Golden boots flopped but give him credit for trying. Truth Social? That could be false advertising but it is what it is. Give him credit . . . at least he is diligently striving to address E. Jean Carroll's, Stormy Daniel's (Wasn't even his type) and defrauded bank's concerns.

The same goes for books. If you're an author you have to have a thick skin. My stories aren't sugar coated and they involve the truth and timely issues. My Agent follows this philosophy for which I'm very grateful. Take The Bee Killer for example. Realistic enough for you? I mean I talked to soldiers and asked them for input and got it after trust was established. One soldier discussed sleeping with a multitude of prostitutes in Germany after his soldiering ended. PTSD manifests itself in many ways I tell you. another said I nailed it with this Short Story.

People Shooter #7


Officer Tracy got back in the squad and slammed the door. She drove off the curb, one tire at a time, before heading toward Second where a right turn would take them to the Police Station.

A lady in a bathrobe pushed herself out of the crowd and onto the street. As she bent down and hollered into the squad, McShuster looked down. “Is that you, Jimmy? Look at me. You’re gonna pay for this. If I had’da gun—” A man stepped in front of her and gently corralled her back to the crowd, but she spun and screamed, “I always knew you was a killer!”

McShuster’s head felt like it was under water, like it was floating away from him. He suddenly got dizzy and wanted to puke. “Offizzer Lazy, you seed that lady? Seed not good. I got no grillfriend to laugh whiff? Alone all-time ‘cause you don’t wears Patagonzia? To waltz in thirsty below wind chill? The rich have car and stop for ya. They hitz it, when your frozen fingauzes reach for the dough?” Blood trickled from his nose.

“You on something back there?” She studied his face. He looked like he was falling asleep. Fentanyl? She didn’t know.

Now what? Hospital? Going to be busy there tonight. How in the hell could she take him to the hospital? That would just get him killed. His victims must have already started arriving and their families would be showing up.

“I’m good.” He pulled himself up. “Thanks for loosenin’ up the cuffs. They were killin’ me. I never knew them things hurt so much.”

“I can turn this recorder off if your done talking,” Officer Tracy said.

“You know, they always let on they know my ma drinks too much or sleeps around. That gets old. I don’t like thinking about it all the time. In school I think about it because they give me the business.” McShuster was relieved to be away from the school. “I mean, I can’t even walk down the hall without a girl rolling her eyes or hoofing it around me. Ain’t official bullying, I suppose, but it still ain’t right in my book.” His voice cracked. “How I stop my ma from doing stuff?”

“I’m still recording. I read you your rights and you are free to remain silent. Is your mother the reason for tonight?”

The officer is still in police mode. She is making sure her suspect knows he's being recorded and she's wondering if it would be safe for him at the E.R. I had this happen to me once when I was transporting a suspect, in a triple stabbing, to the hospital because he slashed his hand. I researched this story and include my own experience's. Thanks for all the interest!

Can't Post Without a Shooting Occurring

I post another installment of People Shooter. It's like well we haven't had a shooting for a while and then, just after the post goes live, another shooting. Something is just plain wrong with the fact that our politicians can't figure something out about this ongoing crisis. We are all possibly tomorrows target  . . . Ouch.

People Shooter #6

           

After slowing for the curb, the ambulance turned left, accelerating with its lights and siren on. A silhouette was leaning over the gun on the sidewalk. Then it gestured for someone else to stand near it. The silhouette joined four shadows with guns drawn as they all ran towards the front door of the school. They were hollering toward a couple that had stepped out of the building. The two held their hands up and hollered, “Parents!”

“This is real, pal. Guns build respect, one bloody little hole at a time. I’ll gun ‘em down. Let’s see how they sound dead. You apt to not forget that.” A tear surprised him and made him set up and clear his throat. “Where was I?”

“Shooting people—”

Three officers were walking toward them. Officer Tracy got out and stepped in front of them. One walked around her and pulled the door open; and grabbed McShuster. “See them people.” He pointed at the large crowd across the street. He gripped McShuster’s collar and pulled him halfway out of the squad and glared at him, inches from his face. “They’d just as soon kill ya—punk—than look at you.”

McShuster grimaced from stabs of sharp pain. He couldn’t answer nor did he see what the cop was pointing towards. His broken rib, if that’s what it was, made it feel like someone was pushing a long hot screw driver into his chest. It hurt so badly that he could only manage birdlike chirps.

“You think that’s funny?” The cop slammed McShuster back into the seat. The cop said something about wanting to kick some ass, and stomped off to where the gun was lying. A man was taking pictures of it. It was some kind of assault gun. That’s what his neighbor, the owner, called it. Now it was lying on the ground getting photographed. A skinny guy about his height approached the first picture taker and pointed at the gun. Obviously, he was from the paper and also wanted a shot.

  “Three-fourteen station headed to L.E.C. with one,” crackled the radio. McShuster looked up and saw Officer Tracy pushing her face to her shoulder mic. Voices were talking over each other but one did say, “We’re getting surveillance video. Four injured.” Then another one piped up that she thought it was six shooting victims. McShuster wondered how six got shot. Did I miss something here?

Officer Tracy got back in the squad and slammed the door. She drove off the curb, one tire at a time, before heading toward Second where a right turn would take them to the Police Station.

            As a cop in a prior life I can assure you this is how countless interactions are conducted with police officers and suspects. We teach our children to respect authority and not their legal rights. A high percentage of juveniles confess to crimes they didn't commit. Scary? I have no idea why this script doubled up for some. My apologies. I'm thinking I got it straightened out.

Freeing the DC demonstrators is his primary concern? What about freeing the hostages in Gaza? When he told the crowd he'd meet them at the Capital and then disappeared, on that fateful day, did he know something they didn't? In this day and age ya gotta be careful over the company you keep. Just ask Cohen, Giuliani or Lindell.
