Murder by Recession

I have lost jobs over the years, for reasons due to my action, or by those who sort to do me wrong. Have I ever wanted to take out those who had done me wrong? You can bet your ass I had. I once had a warehouse close down because it got wind that I was on my way.
It was a nice spring day in 1985, I was in charge of shipping and receiving for a electronic warehouse. A real shit job, hard work for nickels and a crew of shit people to deal with. But, the job was needed at the time. There was a change in management, a change that should not have affected me, since it was a friend of mine. Did, I say management? Yes, I did and because of this rise to management my so call pal thought he had become a king. People sometimes change, granted, but when things run fine until you decide it's your way or the highway, even if it's half ass backwoods. Or, because you may feel a threat not far away, you decide to create a crap excuse to take bread from a table that is in need.

On this day, I was ready to throw in the towel, lock and load, and bring with me the bastards that let this all happen. The details of that day would have been just like what we are reading these past few weeks with the rash of mass murder we are witnessing, and I am sure we will see more of it. I was lucky, and so were my targets of that day. I had a friend, who stood by me all day long, stood in my line of fire. He followed me, and pleaded with me when the barrel was pressed against my template, when I felt I would not accomplish my mission. His words "Please, don't do it, they'll blame me for it"

All of my problems had nothing to do with him, so I couldn't lay it on his head.
After hours of this madness, I confronted my friend (manager) with all intent to finish the job. He knew it, and yet he came right to me, palms up, and a look in his eyes that projected how sorry he was, but was willing to submit to the punishment, so others won't get involved. Do you know what I did? I hugged him. We are still friends today.

Our day turned out OK with no one getting hurt.

The reason why I am bringing this up is because it is to show you that it doesn't always turn out news worthy.

Lately the rash of mass murder is way to spread to scratch.

Binghamton's mayor and police chief say a man who killed 13 people inside an immigrant community center was depressed after recently losing a job and angry that he couldn't speak English well.

Father kills his 5 kids, then self.

A man fatally shot his wife, five young children and himself, claiming in a note he faxed to a TV station Tuesday that the couple had just been fired from their hospital jobs and together planned the killings as an escape for the whole family.

The nine victims of a Christmas Eve massacre 2008, dubbed the Santa Claus Killings because murder Bruce Pardo wore a Santa suit during the slaughter, were remembered Friday in a public service in a California...

There are more, but I was trying to get a point across.
It can happen with anyone when things get bad enought.

The world is full of people who seem to think that suicide or murder is the only way out. Life is so much better than that... There are always reasons to live for. If you take a step back and think about it, a job and money really do not mean anything. Enjoy life to the fullest... When one door shuts there's always opportunities ready for the taking. A career is just one aspect of your life.

Welcome To The News Maze

I opened this blog...
so I could get off my chest shit that racks my nerves in the news. Between the media, the politicians, local sports, and public servant bullshit issues.

We have been handed nothing but lies about the war, September 11th 2001, Katrina, the oil take over, the cell phone radiation, and the heroin deals this government has made over the past administration's takeover.

The body count has been astronomical, and the attention it gets is always in bits and pieces. Some focus on the war, some 9-11, some on the victims of Katrina and some on the edges of the reality that we are getting screwed big time.

Here we will focus on it all! No free rides and no hidden agendas. We want answers, we'll ask for them, we'll share them and we'll plead for them as well.

September 11th 2001 I think is a good place for me to start. So many people had died, and so many questions had risen from the flesh infested dust, yet we let it pass without as much as a legal commitment. Justice was blinded by headlines of anthrax, Eron, the Church and it's sex scandals and anything else the people were willing to let blind them.

Normally, here in New York, we take pride in how we approach a crime scene. We look at details and we piece together what could be the cause of the crime. But this crime, had no crime scene, no investigation, no evidence turned over to the DA's office. What we got was full line of bullshit, that people wanted to believe, for people to keep the faith, while all along, being lied to. Sometimes, a lie, can be swallowed and digested just so it will pass through us.

First with all crimes, we have to look at who had the means, the motive and the opportunity. Within that frame work most crime investigations are conducted. We never had that chance, that chance was taken away from us before September 11, 2001. Now, in 2007, the crime scene still sits with human ash and more people paying the price because of this ash. A crime that has been killing for over seven years, and yet we still have no investigation? What we have is a war, deflecting our deepest desire to ask a simple question. What really happened on September 11th 2001?
