Memoirs of a Dope Man (Pt. 4)
At 17, I figured that my mailbox posting days were over. It was my spot indeed, but you would never see me there unless you were one of my loyal customers, other than that I'm checking the mail for all they knew. Things started to get hectic after a shootout and robbery happened at one of my acquaintance's spots and murder right in front of the complex where a man was gunned down in his car with his five-year-old son, the pot was boiling over. I decided to switch speed and get off of the corner for the moment. My only addiction to anything in life was to never be one with empty pockets. Delivering a product which is in very high demand for a quick and high return became very addictive to me as soon as I got the fundamentals of it down pact I took flight, I was always smart enough to know when to land.

High School, Pot Brownies, and False Accusations

He was accused by his accomplices of killing many people and police suspect him for up to 60 murders in New Mexico and Arizona. No bodies were ever found and he was not convicted of a single murder before his death in 2002.

Real Talk
Abortion is a topic that everyone is passionate about. One side says it's a woman's body, thus her right to choose. The other side says that life begins at conception, and abortion is murder. What we, as a society, don't often hear is what the fathers of the unborn children have to say about it. Are they given a choice? Sadly, fathers are not given a choice. If the mother wants an abortion, there is nothing a helpless and hopeless father can do to stop the death of the life he helped create. What happens when a father decides to fight for his rights? In a case filed in the Madison County, Alabama court system, nineteen-year-old Ryan Magers of Hunstville asked the following:

John Wayne Gacy—No Single Thing Made Him a Killer
Quite often when I read about serial killers, or violence in general, people wish to find a simple explanation for the behavior. In John Wayne Gacy's case, his abusive father was certainly an influence, but probably not the sole one. I can't help but notice how, officially anyway, he didn't become a serial killer until some time after he served in prison. Could that have been part of what sent him over the edge? It could be he had negative experiences with his fellow inmates, and that his overall experience in prison made him hate the human race more.

Heart Rake
Remember when Donald Trump told California officials that if they raked the forest, the wildfires would stop? It's a thing that really happened, it became a meme. Outside of the lunacy that a rake would stop a wildfire, Todd Mullis may have given them another reason to not listen to Trump. Mullis is charged with killing his wife, Amy Mullis, with a corn rake. And as with so many victims before her, Amy seemed to know that Todd was aiming to snuff the life out of her.

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.

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.

Phantom Couple Killer
"Back in the day, we didn't have to deal with these kinds of problems!" Some elderly people will exclaim when confronted with how to use the internet or when a new scam pops up. And while their statement is technically correct, they forgo the fact that solving murders in the past was also much harder. That is one of the reasons that the Texarkana serial killer was never found, or maybe saying never "convicted" is a much more accurate way of describing what happened.

Hospital of Death
What do a 44-year-old man and a 64-year-old woman have in common? They were both treated by a doctor who is now accused of being a serial killer. As more than 30 patients were killed, Mount Carmel West Hospital barely blinked an eye. It was only after several complaints flooded in that administrators decided to take a look at what was happening. An investigation uncovered a secret; Dr. William Husel was over-prescribing opioids to patients in lethal doses.
