"Blade Runner"

Just not buying it. For in 1988, I was 20 years old. My wife Lisa and I had our 30 foot camper parked in my dad's back yard. The drug traffic always came to our trailer.. Although Dad and I were partners, if we got busted I was going to take the fall. This was the 2nd time Dad and I sold drugs together.

Late one night, probably 3, 4am, I heard the front door of our trailer open. I reached over, touched my wife, making sure she was next to me. She was. NO one else had any business coming through that front door without knocking. I reached over, grabbed my gun. The trailer was pitch dark. I was laying in bed. I pointed the gun down the hall and I fired, the front door slung open hard. I rolled out of bed, knocking the back door open, and I unloaded. Dad come out of the back door of his trailer with the shotgun yelling what's going on. I said someone's running through the woods, they broke in. He opened up firing into the woods. I could see the tracks but no traces of blood. Never knew who it was. I assumed someone I was dealing with either put someone up to it, or they seen the lights off and figured we were out partying.

My point is this. When you have someone else in your house, you don't just shoot. I was 20 years old, an idiot kid, but I wasn't going to shoot until I knew where my wife was, and I knew that person at the end of the hall wasn't supposed to be there. I knew my dad or no one else was going to come through that door without knocking. The blade runner, his story doesn't hold up. 'Cause as he's firing, you know she's going to be screaming. And he shot her 4 times! Nope - not buying that story. And to say he loved her, BULLSHIT! No one kills and destroys what they love. If that person is causing you heartache and screwing with your happiness then you leave. You then hope that person can find love and happiness elsewhere. You don't wish that person to be lonely and miserable the rest of their life. 'Cause if you do, then you never truly loved that individual. As mad as I am with Josie, I hope she is happy. 'Cause although I'm angry over the lies etc, I still love her. I always will. I hope she has found happiness.

But killing someone and saying I loved that person. No, they didn't. But hey - that's just my take on it. Jealousy is a serious illness. I've experienced it with Jess, with her husband, but he's a better man than me. And I knew I could never make her as happy as he could. I think about her all the time. I hope she's happy. She's a wonderful woman.

Just thought I'd share.

In peace + love
Ronnie
