Sad Day in Colorado
Looks like we trained an individual in the fine art of killing (war) and he used those skills by-way of the Second Amendment. Matthew Riehl was many things, an attorney/e-4 specialist and had trained with a rifle just this past summer. Now he adds being a murderer to his resume'. Does it mean anything that he legally was entitled to his weapon?

Seems like he Nailed It
"His Excellency President Trump has declared the reality. Pakistan has never helped or participated in tackling terrorism," General Dawlat Waziri, spokesman for the Afghan ministry of Defence, told Reuters.

. . . and the Truth Rained Down . . . Down . . . and Down
"Curt Rude captures what many run from - the truth - in this captivating story of greed, lust and ego fueled off vulnerable human emotion. Dark, yet, captivating, this fast moving book will have you on the edge of your seat."

Format: Paperback|Verified Purchase
The book starts out with a good strong introduction to the three main characters. You are then very deeply drawn into their lives and their stories. I read the book straight through, I could not put it down as it was definitely a page turner. The ending is phenomenal...I felt throughout the story that the main characters were on a collision course, and what a collision it ends up being. I found some of Mr. Rude's writing to be incredibly powerful, "We all struggle against the torrential waves of the unscrupulous, clinging to the shifting shores of trust only to be pulled into the chilly depths by deceitful intentions. Evil maintains, evil gains and evil destroys. Humans will be forever haunted by the unjustness of things and the agonizing presence of the self-absorbed and the evil, bloated, noxious ego..."
I would definitely recommend this book.

review 1: The Dark Side of Law EnforcementThis novel is almost like a character study with some of the author’s philosophy thrown in to elaborate more fully what he is saying to the reader. Chimlyn, a hunk of a football player is considered a retard by his friends, but manages to attract ...

JusThis is a stunner. I had to read his second book, Brand of Justice, and was left wondering twice how this author delivers this material. Both stories are a must read for me and mine.
Marsha
He's got another book. Brand of Justice that will keep your interest!!!! It's more subtle but plenty disturbing.
Fred S
Love the story. It had me on edge until the last page was turned and then I read it again.
Frank J
Loved the breezy style that Brand of Justice was written in. It also is the scariest book out there considering Ferguson LA and on and on. Hard hitting!!!
Judges Comments on 'The Passionate Jihadist'
There are a lot of really engrossing, full details that drive the story along. The opening vignette about Yushua and the rooster is indicative of this, and the way that bird imagery is interwoven throughout the narrative makes for a great unifying technique. Even metaphorical language is utilized effectively and visually: "The shame settled on him and lingered like mulberry stains on his fingertips" (6).

Beg to Differ on Melbourne Car Incident
I suspect the driver, who is an Australian of Afghan descent, must have been at least inspired by media reports of incidents involving vehicles plowing into innocence. Remember . . . Violence begets Violence. The soon to be released book, The Passionate Jihadist, tackles this issue.

On the Run with CBS Senior Photo Editor
Oh the people I've met since I started writing. Running around New York City with none other than Richard Boeth, Senior Editor for CBS. Richard has worked on: Ambulance, Blue Bloods, Kevin Can Wait, MacGyver, NCIS, Salvation and Scorpion. Perhaps his next credit will be The Passionate Jihadist.

Lead Locomotive Location
Looks like the lead locomotive in the train derailment in Washington was still on the tracks ruling out terrorism. Speed seems to be the cause making the engineer very nervous I suppose.
