Roy Peter Clark Poynter Vice President Dig for the concrete and specific, details that appeal to the senses.
I remember a police story in the St. Pete Times that came out of my end of town. It was an oppressively hot, humid Florida day, and things started to go badly inside a house on 63rd Avenue S. First the air-conditioner broke down, making it unbearably sticky for the husband, wife, and mother-in-law. The mother-in-laws irritation increased when the television set also went on the blink.
(The reporter didnt tell me, but I wanted to know what the woman was watching at the time. Was it Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune or One Life to Live?)
The old woman complained to her son-in-law that the television was not working. So the son-in-law did what any Florida man would do under such circumstances: He shot out the screen of the television set with a handgun.
What followed was a stand-off with police and his eventual surrender.
What followed was a stand-off with police and his eventual surrender. The reporter, Doreen Carvajal, does tell us, bless her, that the mans foul mood and subsequent violence were influenced by his imbibing 24 cans of beer that day. Black Label beer. Not Heineken or Budweiser or Coors. But Black Label.
