What does Haemish do when he isn't writing?

I hope he has a good alibi...... 

Man dressing up as cop and killing people on the roadside in Mississippi.

Someone who may be posing as a police officer is pulling cars over on Mississippi highways and then shooting drivers dead, authorities said.
After two such shootings this month, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is asking for the public's help to find the person.
The agency was receiving leads and processing forensic evidence, bureau spokesman Warren Strain said Tuesday.
John Champion, district attorney for the state's 17th District, said there were no good descriptions of a vehicle.
"Both of the shootings occurred in very remote areas," Champion told HLN's Vinnie Politan.

I'm actually surprised things like this don't happen more often.

I don't even own a gun.

It could happen all the time and we just don't hear about it.  Something like 300.000 people disappear every year in the U.S. and no one knows shit all about it.

I'm not sure why, but I immediately knew that I had to rib Haemish about this when I read it. 

It's probably some psycho that watched No Country for Old Men.

HaemishM's murder spree has gone unnoticed because no one believes you can be cursed to death these days.

You could dump a body in 90% of Mississippi and nobody would ever notice it.

I have had my eyes bleed from reading some of his posts, and I believe that he's actually calmed down quite a bit since I joined the board.

That's the part no one who doesn't live in that 90% gives a shit about.

Happened 25 years ago in San Diego...

[HaemishM]

Actually, it's happened in Mississippi like 2 or 3 times in my lifetime. I remember when we first moved to the Jackson area around '84, the same kind of shit was happening enough that my Mom was real reluctant to pull over for an actual cop when she got a speeding ticket. Wouldn't let her window down at all.

I found the perfect icon for Haemish!

A picture of Samuel Clemens would be more appropriate.  I know of no other author who has used both the words "brickbat" and "chucklefuck."

I had to drive through large portions of Mississippi when my family still lived in Texas. Believe me, they'll never find that guy I hit.

East Texas and far west Texas certainly rivals Mississippi.

[schild]

Oh man, west Texas. You could leave a body there, fully clothed - hell, fitted with kevlar armor - and in two weeks the animals would have picked it clean to the point that you couldn't even positively ID it by dental records. West Texas is big, empty, and more than mildly terrifying. But in a Pitch Black featuring Vin Diesel sort of way.

Mississippi is just a festering shithole not fit for any form of civilization.

I had a buddy that used to have a family ranch out in west Texas (about 3 hours west of San Antonio).  They used to regularly find dead Mexicans on their ranch.  One they found about 15 yards from the pool.  That's some creepy shit.
