    About this ebook

    In dire times, desperate actions tend to overrule the sanity of a society. When bad is good, and proper is shameful, laws change to fit the mores of the times. Drastic actions become commonly accepted to return sanity to a populace gone wild.

     

    Presidential candidate, Martin Talbot, proposed one solution to stabilize the nation's depressed economy and, at the same time, to reduce the violent crime rate.  The answer:  the Economic Recovery and Crime Reduction Act. The news media dubbed it the Legalized Crime bill. Included in the act is a new process for executing criminals with a history of violent crimes: nexecution. Antagonists call it legalized murder.

      This is a work of fiction. It is a creation of the author. Any similarity of persons or events is strictly coincidental.

      DISCLAIMER: This story is not a promotion of unethical or of immoral laws. The intent of this fictional story is to provoke thought of the possibilities of future acceptance or rejection of such laws. The seductive nature of earthly temptations and the complacency and lack of discipline of society to adhere to appropriate mores leaves those possibilities open to reality. Consider society's acceptance of the 'fight-to-the-death' rules of the ancient Roman gladiator games or the fights between Christians and lions, in those same coliseums.

      ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      A hearty Thanks to Ron Meszaros for his providing the newly coined terms Nexecution and Nexecution Network. It helped to provide an easier way to describe the newly proposed judicial process for dealing with criminals with violent histories.

      Thanks to my writing brothers and sisters: Vicki Armitage, Karen Bonvillain Bull, Robert M. Bob Glennon, Ken James, Ron Meszaros, Jule Moon, Phyllis Pitman and Joe Worley. I deeply appreciate your feedback and kindly assistance.

      (Table of Contents)

      CHAPTER 1

      Death by Nexecution, August 2027...

      Sniper on police radio, Tango Zebra on spot.

      Commander, K. The commander looks at his personal digital device, or PDD, for the appropriate signal.

      Sniper, Raggedy Andy spotted. Playroom clear. Ready.

      Commander, K. The PDD beeps the appropriate signal.  The commander reads the message.  Satisfied, he says, Lock and load.

      Sniper, "K. Ready for order... Standby. Subject moving...

      "He's in a dark room. Standby...

      He's back. Room clear.

      Commander, Go. Repeat, go.

      One shot cracks the night air. A splitting sound that resonates from the rooftop of a neighboring fixer-upper house throughout the surrounding community.  A shattered glass window, on the fiberboard house with cracked gray paint... then silence falls upon the night.

      Sniper, Raggedy Andy is down.

      Command to the Special Weapons and Tactical unit, Now, now!

      The S.W.A.T. unit, in their midnight blue jumpsuits, breaches the front and rear doors with matted-black M-16 rifles drawn and ready. The barrel-mounted lights sweep from room to room checking for any possible interventions.

      When they enter the living room, they observe walls bare of photographs, paintings or other appointments; furniture simple, inexpensive, and well worn. The team smells the air, stale and difficult to breathe, due to the moldy walls, the chemical smells of meth ingredients and the fecal matter of rats. They stumble upon the suspect laying in the midst of a blood splatter and tissue fibers.  The unit leader reports, The subject is located and down. Clear!

      Commander, K. All units, stand-down. Secure the area. Crime Scene Unit, move in.

      The bleak neighborhood, Roosevelt Heights, a low income subdivision, is one formerly managed by HUD.  With the down-sizing of the federal government, the area now is controlled by the state housing authority  The houses are much like the post-WWII 235 homes; but these have dingy-white walls covered in mold and algae. The roofs are in various states of disrepair. Many have cracked, broken or boarded windows.

      The neighbors, informed of the all clear, return to their homes, sad—depressed even. It is a bitter-sweet situation. One bad guy is gone; but there are so many more.
