Rod Sadler I've had a lot of people ask what prompted me to begin writing. The truth is that this all started as a genealogical project many years ago. As a retired law enforcement officer, early in my career, I worked for a college police department. We received our police authority from the county sheriff's office.

Richie Salerno Discusses Disrespect: “The Real Virus Eating Society”

It’s just like “Madge” told us on those old TV ads for Dawn liquid detergent: You’re soaking in it. You’re soaking in it and I’m soaking in it, and when we look at social media, we realize the whole world is soaking in it.

Richie Salerno “I Learned Everything I Need To Know About The Lockdown In Solitary Confinement”
I’m an old guy now, but as a kid in Brooklyn I was, as my attorney once said, less than well-informed when it came to the nature of legal and illegal behavior. Nobody died because of me, but my work for the neighborhood mafia guys, who were people I simply knew as uncles, aunts, and friends of the family, often took me outside the law. Funny thing about stepping outside the law. People who do it usually stay there until they get caught. I … [Read more...]
