Community Outreach V. Murder
In a time when we have an innate fear of the harder to swallow facts, there is a need for those willing to dedicate their lives to these harsher realities. The importance of task forces to handle specific problems is nothing new for the justice system. The hard question we have to ask is what can we do to improve on these processes? The mounting pressure combined with simple human error can lead to missteps that may not allow initial connections to be made or to areas that were not previously explored. A singular task force without interchangeable individuals can lead to overworked and overwhelmed people. But in a world where the people protecting us are overwhelmed and have more than enough to be concerned about, where can we turn to help us find more people dedicated to the safety and justice of others?

A new Superhero Story - Part 1
The city dark and full of dusk. Light post’s broken down, sparkling. They have certainly seen better days. The streets cluttered with trash and hopelessness. A gas station lit up at night, being robbed. The caretaker’s inside, shivering in fear of a man, dressed in a strawberry suit holding a gun to his head. His costume bright red and a little worn. On his head sat a red hat with green leaves sprouting from the top, his face covered in red makeup, and his legs covered with black pants. He is fully dedicated to his act. The strawberry man says to him: “Hands up! This is a strobbery!!”. The caretaker getting the key and unlocking the cash register, a young man in a green shirt and blonde hair tackles the strawberry. “GAH!” they both go. The strawberry, not understanding what just happend, drops the gun and looks around, but only sees the floor. Suddenly his arms are pulled behind his head and he begins to kick and move as much as possible. The blonde holding him down with all his might, the previously shaken up caretaker now holding a shotgun to them both. Without much thought, the blonde young man lets go and the strawberry makes a dash for it. BANG the shotgun went and missed him.

STREET TIES
It's funny how things go in the hood. The game that we were dropped in and made to love was just a revolving door to the pen. My homie, Woo, was getting released today, and I told my dawg I was going to catch him when he touched down. He did 10yrs flat in Angola so with that being said, I gotta greet my dawg, right?

Solving the Unsolvable
In my previous article, Community Outreach V. Murder, I had mentioned the importance of communities working with their local and state police departments to assist with the high amounts of unsolved cases throughout America. I had also mentioned the important work of Thomas Hargrove with the Murder Accountability Project (MAP) and how it significantly supports the idea of serial murders being a big connection to many unidentified persons and cold cases. In a quote from Thomas Hargrove’s LinkedIn page, they report that “The Murder Accountability Project has assembled the nation's most complete database of homicides and unsolved homicides, including details about more than 20,000 murders never reported to the FBI. We have also developed an algorithm that can spot unsolved cases with an elevated probability of being the work of uncaught serial killers.” This alone is the start we need to help begin a beautiful symbiosis between the community and the justice system. In this article, I hope to bring light to the true crisis of unreported murders and how they eventually turn into cold cases. Without community assistance or the assistance of people like Thomas Hargrove, we can cast a veil that blinds us to the horrors lurking underneath which can be dangerous or lead to future victims falling into the same pattern as the past victims.

Kevin's Homecoming
Chapter 18 Present Paul stood on the front porch of his home in the late afternoon when they drove up. He had been pacing for most of the day, and the spent energy etched darkened circles under his eyes. When Paul saw Kevin sitting in the front seat, a tremendous sense of relief swept over him. He thanked God silently for the answered prayer and slowly released the grip he had on the porch rail.

It Can't Wait
They never caught me and they never will. They have never seen me, for I am invisible, even as the either that surrounds your earth. I am not a human being, but a spirit and a demon from the hottest hell. I am what you Orleanians and your foolish police call the Axeman…
