Front Page Photo

Oh, great. Another wannabe gangster, looking to exact revenge for his time in the trenches and empty pockets with military hardware.

I don’t know if it’s us in the press that are causing these guys to spring up like weeds, or if people are just getting more desperate. Either way, these guys are getting out of control.

The G-Men are cutting them down as fast as they sprout up these days. Hand picked self-righteous psychos armed to the teeth and licensed to kill gangsters, they’re Hoover’s little pit bulls. Angry, vicious, state sponsored vigilantes under the command of a known transvestite. George Washington would be proud.

This guy, believe it or not, actually did it to get famous. He cleaned out banks to become a news story. What a nut.

He laid here, shot full of holes, leaking a river of blood, and asked me with his last few ragged breaths:

“Do you think this will make the front page? Will you get my picture on the front page?”

“Sure, mac,” I lied while snapping his picture, “you and all the rest.”
