Frog Hospital's Fred Owens And "Pax" Discuss Innocence, Guilt And "Snapping"

Image result for civil war dead

It's a good day when you are not facing a felony conviction for bank fraud. I feel so innocent. I didn't do anything wrong. Maybe that's why I am not being investigated. I sleep good at night too.
i do admit that I have failed some ethical challenge, so I have some pity for the guilty. "There but for fortune ..."

Alan: I live with a keen sense that "innocence" is a fragile thing.

People snap.

Just snap.

One minute they're upstanding citizens and the next they're "death row inmates," like the beloved husband in Colorado who just killed his wife and daughters.

I know a fellow who snapped.

He would have been convicted of an ugly felony had the woman he attacked not withdrawn charges out of fear that the trial would prove too much for her heart-diseased husband.

I sometimes wonder if my unusual interest in "snapping" is, perhaps, an adumbration.

Here's a pertinent audio recording of a story written in memory of my great-great uncle Bill who died of wounds suffered in the Civil War. https://soundcloud.com/alan-archibald/its-haunted-now-retake
