THE FAR SIDE
Usually, in most “war” stories, you always hear or read the grandiose tales about the wives, the girlfriends, and the mistresses, but rarely do you hear or read a mumbling word about what lurks on the far side of the story---the law. In my many years of hustling in the streets, I had two law enforcement agents, in particular, that dogged me relentlessly. The first was a FBI agent, Joe Kenny, and the second one was a vice cop called Rambo. Both operated very differently, but both were very good at what they did which was putting the bad guys in jail.

Being tortured
Never in a million eons would I think I would be writing about what I am writing about, nor did I ever in a million decades thought I would be writing in in the location and circumstances, my current life is in. As so many say though, it is what it is, only thing is, I don't know what it is. I have ideas and assumptions, but I won't claim to know what it is when, people say, it is what it is, if I don't know what it is.

As neighbors and inquisitive spectators joined on the house, law authorization authorities immediately failed to keep a grip on the crime location. It is said that up to 100 individuals gallivanted through the house ogling at the bodies before the Villisca National Guard at last showed up around early afternoon to cordon off the space and secure the home.

Not A Popular Observation Yet It Is An Accurate Assessment Of the Facts
While it is extremely difficult to present a alternative suspect with supporting evidence due to the intentional lack of any victimology or retrieval of text messages from all and even phone records from many I will present a theory from the truth seeking side of the fence for discussion. As I think all in the Making a Murderer community are aware the only people who have benefitted from the disappearance and death of Teresa Halbach are the individuals who would have been negatively impacted by Steven Avery's civil suit depositions and the case as a whole continuing. There is a strong desire by the small subset who preach Steven and Brendan's guilt to diminish the impact the depositions and the lawsuit was having in the state of Wisconsin and especially in Manitowoc County. For those who may not be informed about liability and Manitowoc's very limited insurance coverage in 1985 when the intentional arrest and eventual conviction occurred there were only two insurance policies. (This has since been rectified and there are now many policies in place for the next lawsuit). There is a great OP on Reddit titled Ignore The Man Behind The Curtain with sources explaining the dire insurance issues facing Manitowoc County at the time Steven's civil suit was filed.

A lot of this increase in crime is often blamed on the USA’s failing criminal justice system. Here’s the thing; we can recognize it's not working. But most people don’t seem to know, or care, how to try and patch it up before it’s too late.
