Talking Star: Amber Guyger Found Guilty in Dallas County
The duel of topics motivates Troi “Star” Torain. He becomes animated and more focused as he launches into the show. He discusses how the judge in the Amber Guyger murder trial should be dubbed a different name. And in Bruce Lee fashion, Torain switches topics with ease like a swift kick to side of the head. He talks about how hip hop architects Rakim and MC Serch might go to blows over alleged writings that occurred decades ago. Then, he turns back to the Guyger case seamlessly. The Castle Doctrine which upholds a citizen’s rights to be immune to laws that would normally be offenses if they take place in said citizen’s vehicle or home came into the conversation. Star finds this to be damning in this case. Botham Jean was in the comfort of his home when he was shot to death by Guyger. With just a turn on the winding road of discourse, Star once again talks about Rakim and MC Serch. He states that the former is angry at the latter over the aforementioned writing fallout. He says that there’s “nothing worse than an old clout chaser.”

Most Vicious Killers: Ed Gein
The Inspiration Throughout our lives in the modern era, we hear about psychopathic killers and the depravity they’ve shown in their crimes. We are so interested in these people that we watch horror movies, create our own scary stories, or even document some of true crime’s favorite stories, as even I am doing currently. While we hear about shootings and stabbings often enough to be seemingly desensitized to this type of violence, there are still some acts of perversion that cause some of us to flinch when we hear of them. Of course, while most horror movies are completely fictional, there are some that are based on real people. Silence of the Lambs, as well as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are both works of fiction. However, the villains in these movies are not just works of a writer’s imagination. They are based on real life serial killer, graverobber, and necrophile, Edward Theodore Gein.

Reason First: How Many Theodore Bensons Are in the World?
To die in prison is a strange fate. It means that a person who clearly committed the crime now must meet his or her death for what they had done wrong. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, just under 20,000 men and women perished behind jail or prison walls between the years 2007 and 2010. In Delaware, convicted murderer Theodore Benson was the latest case of this face of death. While investigators continue to work on the case, it appears that Benson passed away from natural causes at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Kent County.

Reason First: Was this Wilmington, Delaware Ex-Councilman Greedy?
Greed is good. And no, it’s not in the sense of the 1987 Oscar® award-winning film Wall Street. The speech from that movie regarding avarice remains to be one of the most monumental oratory deliveries in movie history. But it falls short. It doesn’t explain the intricacies and the profound value of what it means to be greedy. Most people confuse greed with gluttony. The difference is that the former is about production and the latter is about consumption, particularly destruction.

Reason First: A Tale of Two Delaware Areas Part II
It’s a story of geography. Wilmington, Delaware is a tiny city in a tiny state. Bear, Delaware is even tinier. But the main difference is in the civic structure of both of these areas. Wilmington is known for its mean streets and comparatively high levels of the start of physical force. Bear... well not so much. According to the News Journal, a New Castle male was found guilty of killing a fellow worker in 2015 in Bear. Just a few days prior to this writing, a 25-year-old man was snuffed out of existence by gunfire. This was only a few days ago. The gulf that exists between Wilmington and other areas of Delaware continues to stretch in regard to slayings and other crimes.

Reason First: A Tale of Two Delaware Areas
In the state of Delaware, shootings don’t just happen in Wilmington. They occur in Bear, too. A 19-year-old man was shot in the torso after a heated exchange with the suspected gunman. What this shows is that at any time and in any place in the state, a weapon can be drawn and fired, injuring or killing someone. It is the emotion-driven state of some gun owners who can’t handle a discussion who reach for their sidearm. Without the flow of talk, without the ability to voice differences, and instead resorting to the start of physical force, these men and women make gun owners look bad. They represent that small group of people who can’t take a few words hurled at them and find themselves firing shots back, literally.
