Reason First: Why are People Still Getting Shot in Wilmington, Delaware?
As the death toll rises in America to surpass China due to the novel coronavirus, there remain shooters out in these Wilmington, Delaware streets. For what? Little details surface regarding the actual incidents. News reporters just say the age and gender of the victim or survivor and when and where they received rounds to the body among other details. Rarely is the discussion of a reason why the person was shot or any leads on who perpetrated the shooting. In Wilmington, Delaware, the news of someone getting shot has become such a normalcy that when world changing events like the spread of COVID-19 hit, it becomes just another section of the daily journal.

However, I will do my best to put the details into perspective, though they seem forever scrambled regardless of how they're pieced together.

Reason First: Do You Believe in COVID-19?
Many people would claim the unknown and the unknowable as their source of strength and refuge. But would these same people be able to say that you can pray away charges?

Reason First: Did Evil Hands Spark this Delaware Fire?
Smoke plumed from what was once a structure planned to provide housing. This story appeared in the Crime Section of Delawareonline.com app. Is this a suggestion that an arsonist caused this whole scene of destruction? The case is under investigation and the State Fire Marshal of the New Castle County Division wants answers. But isn’t it clear? Whomever sparked the blaze is against property rights. This is all said because of the criminal link to this story. More often than not, fires set to buildings under construction remain the handiwork of suspects out to destroy values. Even the beleaguered FEMA website has a section on arsonists and construction sites. So it would appear as if this alleged arsonist was equipped with just enough combustibles to burn the would-be-house down to the earth.

Reason First: Who Will Stop the Thieves in the State of Delaware?
Libertarians love to boast about “anarchs-capitalism” (negating the fact that it’s an anti-concept or worse) and of course the non-aggression principle. They often view the government as a body to be held in low esteem. This includes law enforcement. But who will protect the citizens against criminals if not for the police officers and detectives that make up the force?

Sheila
He was running the vacuum cleaner when the phone rang. A large grumpy looking man made his way across the derelict office. Endless piles of paper work lay on or below nearly every surface all but framing the room. A rug ran down the centre of it from door to window, and despite a few recent stains remained all but pristine. This had been thanks Sheila (well the clean parts anyway) the man's assistant; who he hadn't seen for at least a week.

The start of something criminal
There are real problems going in our society that people are either unaware of or they simply close their eyes and pretend they do not affect them or even exist . But these problems only get worse with time . Maybe those who believe as so many do have developed a habit of ignoring social issues and really think they are not directly impacted by the problems that are all around us . But in reality given enough time the same issues that were looked over and discounted as being irrelevant will eventually make their way to their doorstep. Those unaffected will be affected.

It's Not Me!
I'm a writer, a published book author, and a technologist. As such, I have a web site, and I use various social media channels for my marketing. In the industry, we call it "branding." My name is my brand. Unfortunately, my face is not my brand. I do not need my face to be a part of my branding. I want people to know me for my words and my stories. They don't need to know what I look like to enjoy my books.
