The 800 Pound Gorilla In The Room

Did you ever come home to find your front door kicked in? You go inside and some person or persons have rummaged through your stuff. That $2 bill that your daddy gave you when you were five years old is gone. All your guns and silver coins are missing as is the spread off your bed. How did it make you feel? What about this, did you ever go to the graveyard to visit your parents grave and find that someone had desecrated their grave site? How would that make you feel?

Now imagine that you pick up a newspaper a few weeks later and there is an classified ad in there where the people that committed the robbery or the desecration are taunting you. Would you be pissed off? Upset?

Now imagine one more thing, you call the police, they go to the paper, track down the person or persons that ran the ads, find enough evidence that they committed the crimes and arrest them. You would expect that the perps would be brought to justice, but maybe not. Maybe they get a shifty lawyer and then another shifty lawyer and get continuance after continuance and finally they get themselves committed for psychological evaluation. Would that be a distraction to you? Would it eat at you? Would it affect your ability to concentrate on the task at hand? Think about it.

War Eagle!
