New thread...

What potentially viable suspect do you think is walking around?

Go ahead, pretend you don't know.

Honest injun varina, I can't read you're mind.

"Are you jealous of the Riccis?"

We're all burning with white-hot jealousy of the Riccis, varina. We all feel very cheated. We have never known the wonderful feeling of warmth and absolute content that comes when the needle delivers its precious elixir into the vein. Many of us have never had the pleasure of gazing out the window of our single-wide at friendly neighbors like Pete Romero, as he strolls along, smiling and keeping an eye out for young, tender jailbait. We have never had the pleasure of watching our loved one slowly sink face-down into a well-prepared meal. We have never experienced the proud parental satisfaction of watching our innocent little boy struggling to rank his daddies from best to second-best, and on down. We have never known the earthy pleasure of listening to our loved one puke his guts up in the john as he goes through withdrawal. We have never seen the look of adoration on a beloved's face, as we paid the last penny on his resitution for the food he took from the homeless people. We have never snapped a cute picture of our beloved in an orange jumpsuit, cuffed at the wrists.

Snobbish? Hardly, varina. Just envious of their once-in-a-lifetime love, wistfully watching Rick mouth to Angela, across the courtroom, the words, "I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honor more."

Just like when he was in the alley and he had a choice.

Good analogy Holmes. I believe that Richard was robbing a pharmacy that time. Drug addicts do some very foolish things.

Varina, is your bedroom over the garage?

[varina davis]

For someone who's "never known" all these things, you sure seem to have intimate knowledge of them.

[landerwy]

I still think you would be a great author! Move over Tom Clancy!

"Similar to the way liberals have rewritten American history."

Home run for Sherlock!

[landerwy]

Good night all. It's been fun!

[varina davis]

Varina, is your bedroom over the garage?

Why, are you a "cat burgler?"

[varina davis]

Home run for Sherlock!

I would feel very safe guaranteeing that sherlock doesn't have a clue about accurate American history.

[Sherlock]

Ashleigh then spoke with Mike Hill, a police officer who had an encounter with Ricci back in 1983. Hill responded to a burglary at 4 in the morning. Ricci had been hiding behind a bush and popped out. He had a sawed off shot gun. Hill had told him to drop the weapon. Ricci turned the gun towards Hill. Hill took "2 quick shots" at Ricci and began ducking for cover. Ricci looked at him and pulled the trigger, hitting Hill in the hand, shoulder and near the head.

Who was proven to be a "child molester?"

Most child abductions that are not over custody issues are sexual crimes. Kidnapping for ransom is rare these days. Maybe Remington was just a thinking kind of guy and figured the odds were it was a sex crime. Then again, maybe he figured that Rick's MO of stealing items out of children’s rooms was just a little bit creepy.

[varina davis]

Maybe Remington was just a thinking kind of guy

I seriously doubt it.

[varina davis]

I notice no one has responded intelligently (or otherwise) to Post 209.

[sandude]

I seriously doubt it.

Well then, he must have known something about Richard that has escaped you varina.

[sandude]

I notice no one has responded intelligently (or otherwise) to Post 209.

Now you've hurt my feelings V. What about my post 216? I'm just going to go off to bed.
