Crazy Bill

Crazy Bill suffers from something, who knows what?  Probably it is PTSS, post traumatic stress syndrome.  Kadizzle was visiting Rita at the sewing shop one day and Crazy Bill happened to be there.  Kadizzle engaged Crazy Bill in conversation, and in no time it was off to crazy land.  Bill said he was studying to be a Messianic Jewish Rabbi.  Now this is about as strange as you can get in our little town.  As the conversation went on it evolved of course into politics.  Kadizzle implied he disagreed with Crazy Bill and Crazy Bill said " I'll cut your head off and shit in it."  Kadizzle has had some strange offers, threats or whatever, but this was a new one.  Crazy Bill is very secretive and does not want anyone to know anything about him.

Part of the way the conversation started with Crazy Bill was when Kadizzle asked if he could pet Crazy Bill's dog.  The dog was a breed that looked like it could be mean, but was a nice dog.  Crazy Bill treated the dog like a soldier and bossed it around in a very mean manner.  Supposedly the dog was a service dog.  Not sure what in the hell that is, but it must be a dog that was somehow trained for the military.  Crazy Bill loved the dog, and enjoyed his ability to dominate the dog.

So now the story starts.  Crazy Bill was out in the country with his dog.  Crazy Bill told the dog to stay by his truck while he checked on some horses.  When Crazy Bill came back to the truck the dog was gone.  Crazy Bill had seen a red pickup go by while he was checking the horses.  Very quickly Crazy Bill became convinced someone had stolen his dog.  The whole thing accelerated quickly and made the local news.  Crazy Bill was going nuts trying to find the dog.  A county worker found the dog dead in the ditch not too far from where he was lost.  It appeared the dog had been hit by a vehicle.  Of course this was not going to fly with Crazy Bill.  He went to the local bars and waved around five thousand dollars offering a reward for information about who killed his dog.  Crazy Bill is sure that someone did this with intent.  Now, if the information is correct, Crazy Bill is going to Sturgis to round of some of his old motorcycle buddies.  The plan is to come back to Hazen and route out the people or person who killed the dog.  Hopefully this will not come to a bad end.

War has a lot of consequences, but one we often overlook is the mental problems left over.  Right here in Mercer county there are delusional people on the edge of dangerous insanity.  Sometimes these people cross the line and hurt innocent people.  As a society we need to realize that when we send young men into a stressful situation some of them will come back with healthy bodies, but dangerously sick minds.
