I smell...

desperation...it's everywhere, on everyone. As this economy gets worse more people are doing things they never thought they would... crossing the line of sanity most live by...doing whatever it takes to survive.

She wasn't supposed to be there. I don't know who she was....it doesn't matter really. I could see her tiny infant in the back, I knew her motive. She had no idea I was watching, waiting for her to make a move. Sitting in her car, the baby cries...her hands shake as she looks at her 45.

She had been scoping out the EZ Pawn on south 2nd for the last three days. No customers now, only one employee, this would be it. Easy money....food for the kid.

I can see her building up courage between short gasps. She reaches for her door....I hate doing this.

From two stories up, her car hood gives way, a perfect landing. She freezes....I cant see the color in her face. Her trembling hands lift up the 45. A thought flashes that she might do it, but her eyes say different. She isn't that desperate....yet.

The gun goes down, and I yell at her to "leave".

....she hasn't been back.

It's been a busy week. I hope jobs return soon. There's enough to be done fighting those who aren't innocent.

The Beginning

It's 5 am.... I'm bleeding slightly from my mouth and my hand is beginning to swell (a swing and a miss.)

Hot water from the shower burns my face and I realize I hurt from head to toe.

Punch in time for the day job is in three hours. I'm exhausted from being up all night and dreading work, but I've never felt better. I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

Last night could of ended bad with me at the wrong end of a bullet... but it didn't.

A homeless woman at the wrong place at the wrong time, forgotten by most... she's still here.

Your precious deposits from Compass Bank....still there.

Stooges of Falcone, still here... but not feeling very good waking up in the pen.

Me... I'm still here, and for as long as am, my night will remain sleepless. I will stand ever vigil.

So why a blog? Very soon, the media will start to weigh in on the new occurrences of vigilante justice springing up all over this city. I'll be called a savior by some, villain by others...

I want you to be the judge and hear all sides of the story. This blog will be my side. I am only human, and undoubtedly will make mistakes. But, I have the ability and means to fight for the ones who cannot defend themselves, and so I must.

Thanks to my guys for keeping up with this blog, and to all of you out there reading this....believe.
