Murder in Houston
Submitted by Robyn on Mon, 04/11/2016 - 2:38pm
Late Sunday in Houston midtown, a few blocks from bars and restaurants, Shante Thompson and Willie Sims were shot to death. Police say they may have been beaten with a crowbar before the shooting transpired.
Witnesses say a group of up eight people armed with several weapons swarmed a transgender woman and a man out in the street.
It really hurts me. I have always looked for Shante. I was always been there for her. When I got the call and saw her laying on the ground it really hurt my heart.
--Kevin Braxton, friend of Ms. Thompson

That's Chinga as in “Chinga a sus madres”.

I woke this morning with an array of seemingly disparate thoughts. Yet, they were mostly spurred from a rambling conversation with friends, last night.
First, the dream snippet I woke up remembering:
"I always wanted to be a death farmer."
Pained, horrified, confused and concerned faces reflected back at her.
"It's not what it seems. I want you to harvest the bounty of your dreams."
