Man, a cop like this has to make it hard on juries to keep finding them innocent. Ya think?
Ethel Rohan, author of ‘Out of Dublin’ on Curt Rude's writing. "Overall, great writing style. Reminds me of Rushdie: internal, emotionally complicated, and dualistic. Delivered with a sensitivity and awareness that is underrated. In one word his work is Awesome!" Check out my new site . . . www.curt-rude.com

Wisdom
One thing mankind certainly will not come up with is a cult that believes the world is going to end in the next five minutes. Many thanks to the fine book lovers of Durango for having me be a part of their day.

Points to Consider When Pointin' Fingers
This post is from yesterday regarding North Korea. So what do ya think?
June 30, 2017 at 10:05 AM
Good point to ponder. So who exactly is evil one?
TRENTON, N.J. — The family of the late reggae icon and marijuana activist Peter Tosh is seeking answers after they say his son was left in a coma following an attack in a New Jersey jail, where he was serving a six-month sentence on pot possession charges.
Jawara McIntosh has been hospitalized since suffering traumatic brain injuries in the attack in February at the Bergen County jail, where he was after pleading guilty to marijuana possession, his family said.

Is North Korea Responsible?
What do you think readers? Is North Korea a really bad country or are we all a part of the equation? This is what the the U.S. President thinks. . .
U.S. President Donald Trump blamed "the brutality of the North Korean regime" for Warmbier's death. South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who had advocated talks with the North, said Pyongyang had a "heavy responsibility" in the events leading up to the University of Virginia student's death.

Readers thoughts regarding my novel, Boy in The Vest
This from a beta reader regarding Boy in The Vest . . . This story gives a lot of food for thought regarding terror
attacks and the motivations thereof. The
partial gives a picture of ignorance and almost sheep like obedience that
exists in the jihadists desire to reach heaven through bloodshed. It is sad and
also angering how people’s lives can be taken to mean so little.

Chelsea Manning
Do Secrets Corrupt and Absolute, Cross My Heart and Hope to Die Secrets Corrupt Absolutely? Aren't better Governments, to a certain degree, based on the Freedom of the Press, the ability of sharing Thoughts and Concerns; Destination The Truth? First the Fear of Getting Sued totally silenced many followed up with this Chelsea Manning Kind of Thing. When I was writing The Boy in the Vest, many times soldiers would swear me to secrecy because of fears over what the military would do to them. Well have a good weekend and keep your mouth shut and your head down, be the lamb, not the lion, because you could be next.

Micheal Slager & Betty Shelby arent convicted but. . . then along came Officer Roy Oliver.
Oh the times they are a changing. You have pieces of The System starting to point fingers. The prosecutors are running to juries. Lets hold our breath and hope better days are in the offing. I agree with the comment below, from yesterday. Well stated. Seems like killing an unarmed kid is going to be tough for even a cop to walk away from. But never underestimate The System that protects its own.
Humanity should never become used to the death, harm or disparaged treatment of others. When we become used to the wrong doings in the world we are on the path to ruin. What we allow... we condone. Sad--- Rise up people --- advocate for those who cannot!!!

Ya Think?
We just touching the tip of the Problem here?
Oscar Wilde wrote, "Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future." I agree wholeheartedly with that. More that that, I believe that love for our fellow human being is not a platitude but is actually extremely meaningful, powerful, uplifting, and motivating.
Since 1989, 2,005 people have been exonerated from prison in the U.S.

Ricky is one of those exonerated – after serving nearly 40 years for a crime he didn’t commit. In 1975, a man was robbed and murdered in Ricky’s Cleveland neighborhood. Days later, armed police kicked in the door of the home where 18-year-old Ricky lived. Based on the testimony of one young boy who claimed to have witnessed the murder, Ricky and two of his friends were convicted of the crime and sentenced to death.
“To be sent to prison for something you didn’t do is so indescribable,” says Ricky now. “You have to fight every day to maintain the person that you are.” His mother told him, “Don’t them turn you into a prisoner.” She died while he was imprisoned. “I couldn’t even grieve for my mother because they had made me so callous,” Ricky laments.
