On the 22nd, a lunatic killed my sister.
I found out this morning, that he had three people hostage in his trailer sitting on his couch, and the two boys ran out the door. He executed my sister, then went out on the porch, and shot one of the boys as well. He is in ICU, but stable. He was hit in the shoulder, in an artery, and was bleeding pretty badly, I understand.
Then the lunatic shot himself in the forehead, saving me the trouble of some prison time.
The shot boy, an 18 year old, went back in to check on my sister. She was breathing, but, shot in the forehead as well. The boy and sis went by helo to the hospital.
I swear, I'm not usually violent, but I would be in Texas now, lying in wait for him if he hadn't snuffed it himself.
I've been fantasizing about the torture I'd put him through. I guess the usual "wisdom" says that this does me no good, but tell me that once you've been here.
This guy had done some time for a killing before, as well.
My sis met him because she did some kind of visiting nurse or hospice thing. She took care of his wife's needs as she was dying a year or two ago. They became friends, and she moved in. She took care of the place, cooked for him, kept the place clean, etc., in exchange for rent.
Last week he hit her in the head with his gun, something about the phone bill, we hear.
The two boys were with her, helping her get her stuff moved out, and that's when this happened.
If the $%&^%&$# had still been in jail, you know? #@%$@#$% !!
Our system of justice is an illusion, and a facade of justice.
I'm disgusted. I'm disappointed, loathful, hurt, furious and I feel a loss.
I'm only venting here. My family is halfway across the country, and I've friends here, but only one visitor so far. Do they stay away because it's awkward for them?
I have emails and phone calls. That's good. But a friends face is better, huh?
My friend Ron came over last night. We talked about other things, and I got my mind off of this. We went out in the yard and shined flashlights around, and "bullshat".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I miss her already. She made me laugh. I value people that make me laugh. She was very straightforward & honest about what she thought, and I admired her for that.
She was actually my niece, my brothers child, but he was 16 when she was born, my parents adopted her, and I was raised with her, she was like my sister.
She turned 24 last month, 13 Aug.
I love her, and I miss her.

If this is too grim or gruesome, then delete it. The important thing to me, is that I took the time to write it.
