There are  two guys who ride my train that support Trump.

Their conversations, loud enough for all of us to ‘enjoy’ always start off with them sounding ‘reasonable’ lighthearted and dare I say ‘personable’.

For example, they talked about people showing up  to Vice President’s Harris’ rally in Austin, actually the one they were referring to was in Houston but I digress. Some people there booed and they said, why show up at a rally just to do that? It’s a rally, they agreed with each other. What’s the point in making a scene?

Then they went down the rabbit hole, like they always do.

First they discussed the city of Seattle being shut down because of protesters over the weekend ( that NEVER happened ). They claimed that King County ( where Seattle is located ) should take a lesson from Pierce County ( where Tacoma is located ) because they claim that Pierce County ” Cops ” use helicopters to chase down protesters who ‘make trouble ‘ and try to escape law enforcement by car or on foot.

No. No. No. It has never happened.

Then one guy says to his friend that he knows  a ” Security Guy ”  that works at  protests and he  told him that if you get someone face down on the ground and stomp on the base of their spine, they ‘ ain’t running nowhere, they can’t move. ‘

” You can do whatever you want to them ” he laughed as he continued. ” You know what I would do? I’d rip their ears off. I’ve always wanted to rip someone’s ears off. ”

His friend joined him in a round of laughter. ” It’s not like they  use them ” he added.

This Halloween I tried to write stories about monsters and evil twisted souls. I wasn’t as productive as I wanted to be.

It was hard because reality had me beat before I could get a single word down.
