This is exactly right.

On June 11, 1998, a deputy from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department went missing.

Hey, if they don't kill a cop and bury him, what are they going to do to me?

What really happened to the missing deputy?

Music Hello and welcome to my favorite murder. The mini sewed of squiggles and stripes. And stripes. If you're watching this right now on Netflix, we're sorry for giving you a seizure. We're trying to make it as exciting as possible for you. We forgot that patterns don't work great on TV. Let's be honest. I had a sweater on and I had to bail because I am a middle-aged lady. I have squiggles. I don't own a fucking solid piece of clothing. I don't know what I'm going to do. You love a print. I love prints. But at least you're smart enough to wear short sleeves so you can work with the bizarre temperatures your body serves up. I'm in perimenopause and all I do was get hot and then hot and not as hot. I know I refuse to learn. I have to fight. Okay. I'll go first. Okay. I'm not here to the title. Hello, my murder besties. I'm listening to a fan cult mini and had to pause to write in a memory that was just triggered.

Me, a junior in a Texas high school in the early 2000s, my brother, a sophomore in the same high school, lockdown drills and all the things my kids now experience were in their infancy.

We had a lockdown procedure, but it was rarely practiced and it wasn't taken as seriously

as it is now.

Fucking awful. Suddenly, we hear an announcement over the loudspeaker saying we are going into

lockdown and it was not a drill. Apparently, there was an armed burglary in the neighborhood

across the street from our school, and the police were chasing the guy towards our school.

Don't run towards us. Here, just head over toward the school. We'll take care of it

in the lunchroom. Right. And then they were chasing him in our school because in the 2000,

schools didn't have multiple locked doors you had to get through to make it into the building.

We live in the worst reality for children and with guns and this idea that we're all so used to it when it was just 20 years ago that none of this was how it was.

Imagine this.

If you don't care that there are guns and killing children, then you can't be pro life either.

It's not, it doesn't fucking match. No. You can't pick and choose which children
