Pizza Delivery Bomber
A new documentary has been released on Netflix in 2018 about a 2003 bank robbery in Erie, Pennsylvania. There has never been a bank robbery quite like this one. What made this one stand out is the fact that the robber had a bomb collar around his neck. Brian Wells was a pizza delivery driver, and on August 28, 2003 he delivered a pizza to a cell tower where he had the bomb strapped to him. He was instructed to rob a bank and bring back a quarter of a million dollars.

The Bloody Truth (Pt. 3)
Sometimes evil exists. There is no explanation for it, and trying to find one is an effort in futility. This is never more evident than when a parent murders their child in cold blood. It is unfortunate that is has become commonplace to see yet another story in the media about a mother killing her child or children. It less often occurs with men, but it happens far too often. These are the men that make us hold our children a little tighter at night. After all, if they would murder their own flesh and blood, what would they do to you and yours?

If there's one thing that's old as humankind, it's crime. Crime happens every day, in every part of the world. Violent crime is still a somewhat regular occurrence, even though reports of it have gone down tremendously since the 1970s.

Murder Kiss
All I had was just us, and perhaps, I at times took it for granted. Before my sister turned into a public scorn and was called a lunatic and a murder, she was just an ordinary young ambitious woman. The girl I know differs from the one who you think you know. I know her as the sister who always made it a point to protect me. She loved and respected her family. The one you now know as Karabo Hazeek—the so-called “blood thirsty murderer”—who you all say should be sentenced, never to strike again, and read all the news headlines that month.

Hoop Where Is He?
Rico Harris always made an impression. If not for his athletic ability, he was recruited by the NBA after he graduated high school, then for his sheer size. At 6'9", Rico would tower over most people. The gentle giant also had some big issues though, including an addiction problem that would taint most of his adult life. Things seemed to be looking up before Rico disappeared altogether.

Paycheck
I lie in bed waiting for a voice automated call to disclose the next location of my target. I start to ponder the different career choices that others have, and my previous targets. If I were to be in a different field of work, there would certainly be more people on the planet. I could be a banker, a bartender, maybe even a dancer. Instead, I'm an assassin.

Is Society Punishing R. Kelly?
For decades, the business of music and media as a whole have been fueled by the secular and the profane or the grand and the coarse or God and sex, drugs, and nowadays, hiphop. Seemingly, it would be because most acts grew up in homes espousing faithful values in America. The late, great Prince Rogers Nelson built up an entire career based on the ideals of trying to coalesce the notions of some alleged floating consciousness outside the bounds of reality with the urges of the flesh. Corporeal thoughts and actions meant greater dollar signs to the companies that produce everything from music to pornography and everything in between. The recognition that some mystical force would one day save the makers and consumers of such fair through the blood of the son continues to resonate with audiences. R. Kelly is just a pawn, a freak that has only brought upon himself the indignation of a nation.

Last Meal
"Everyone's in place?" "Affirmative," said a voice in his ear piece. Detective Salazar stared into the transparent walls of the diner while standing across the street underneath a blinking street light. The air was unbearably cold, but his focus was fixed on the man sitting by himself at the booth in the middle of the diner.

The (Almost) Perfect Murder
“Have you checked out John’s ex-girlfriend, the lady cop?” Nels Rasmussen would ask the cops time after time about his daughter's murderer. Those investigating the death blew him off as a kook, a grieving father who would blame anyone for the death of his beloved daughter. As time would prove though, he was on the right track, and because (or perhaps in spite) of his persistence, Stephanie Lazarus was finally brought to justice, despite an alleged attempt by the LAPD to cover up the crime for one of their own.
