......."Dickwad" is a name Gary bestowed on my sandwich server, I always ask for the daily special, DW, said there wasn't one, so after I ordered a different sandwich, the daily special shows up. Hey Tiger!!
...........I read a couple of your stories, I guess the one I liked best was Somewhere Only We Know. It was frank and real and contained the ever so neccessary 'jerk'.
.....Fanaticism is scary in any religion, the dime is an old joke (Hey! wait a minute it's supposed to be a quarter, that's why we wandered for forty years) The Hasidics are pretty much right up there. Even though this huge kid (a Golith) knew that A) I was an inspector. b- I knew the Rabbi very well. C) I even went to their temple sometimes....every time I pulled up to the place he would come out to challange me. It got to the point I would park on the property, but far away just to watch the dumbass come running and puffing!
..........With that description of "Barney's killing" how could anyone not conclude Dimitri is a serial killer!! He must have a clear plan of attack in mind and not be insane. there are two types of serial killers, organized and disorganized. The deputies killing was organized, the 1st raid was disorganized and it is rare for serial killers to work with others in their "quest". Although Dimitri may have some respect for the Scar, I think he is more likely compelled to finish his mission for his own ego.
