let's just say i used to work for a very old, eccentric and wealthy man some time ago. now one day, a call comes in from some very nerve racking department of the lapd and the tool on the telly tells me, "oh miss doriandra smith, you are so lucky to be alive! we have this man you used to work for in custody and it looks like he is a serial killer.and we thought he might have killed you." now, mind you- when someone of such "authority" (purchased from a reign of terror having very little to do with reality) tells you you are lucky to be alive, things certainly go through your head. this arrogant imbecile cop proceeded to tell me preposterous "facts" that so blew the old mans character out of proportion that it took on a more and more hysterical angle until i was reduced to utter confusion.the next day in the police interrogation room, the first thing he asks me is" do you know about him killing anyone?" uh, yeah- hi! the lothario then attempted to hit on me while hopping around and fishing for a confession or something to use as ammunition that yeah- i was way in a copacetic collusion with this killer. it took me over a month to reduce the spin cycle of slander these cops fed into my head and to figure out the real story. to make a long story short, this go-getter detective pulled the same hype tactic nonsense on every neighbor, employee, friend and family member of this poor guy in order to build up an opinionated fervor about the horrific nature of his crimes which in turn swayed the judge to remove the 4million dollar bail and let this old man simmer in prison for the last three months while he awaits trial. his actual crimes? setting fire to a neighbors house twice who he had hated because of the punk fuck teenagers who pretended they were in gangs and threw rocks through the old mans windows and tagged their wannabe bullshit all over his tree trunks and sidewalks despite dozens of complaints filed with the police department which went unresolved until the old man snapped and handled things his own way. now they have him on 4 counts of attempted murder, arson, blah blah. the thing i find fascinating is the rather intimate relationship between the hot shot detective and the alleged victim who incidentally just had a judge lock down all property and assets of the "serial killer" in order to claim them in exchange for pain and suffering. this includes the old mans antique car collection, antique radio collection, estate and property. ..................and this is when that all consuming, suffocating, encroaching rage at the powers that be raises it's mighty head.. and sadly, i find myself with very little to do about it.
