Devious Lies and Hard Truths

Not long ago, I wrote and recorded a scathing essay about an article penned by the Orlando Sentinel.

The article was about white mass-shooter John Neumann Jr. The article served to humanize Neumann and it purposefully refrained from calling him a “mass shooter,” “murder,” “thug,” or even “criminal”.

“You can’t tell anyone, okay?”

The town we lived in was in the South and had no brand name stores. The idea of a farmers market was just our local grocery store. You bought what they were selling or you didn't buy anything. We lived in that town for three years and my best friend was a pale, gaunt, shaggy-haired boy, Josiah.
