PurpleandGold Motown

I have all the books on my shelf, but it has been a long time since I read them in their entirety. So, I read a plot synopsis last night. It makes sense to do it as a series. Like most Gibson novels, it's really more a series of short stories (episodes) with a solid through line. They change locations and missions goals quite often.

I doubt we will get Count Zero or Mona Lisa Overdrive. It gets pretty weird by Mona Lisa Overdrive with the Voodoo and the AI. I doubt the "modern audience" could handle it. But Molly Millions' story needs to be told.

Hopefully if this kicks off, we get Hardwired by Walter Jon Williams adapted at some point.

Part 5. New friend is interviewed.

This guy seems to be a little bit of a hothead, but still a nice dude. Seems like everyone was pretty shite faced that day

I suspect that depends entirely on what you look like and how married you are.

This dude is married with kids and apparently tried to pick up a streetwalker.

Based on the other guys pictured in the police announcement none of them were likely killing it on tinder.

---

Streetwalker? In Shelby County? Where did he find one of those? The Colonial Promenade Mall? The Ice Rink?

There will be bodycam, hopefully it makes all these people look like idiots

Unfortunately not if what I am hearing is accurate. City Council voted a few years ago to remove bodycams from their officers. Police protested. Measure was passed.

Have we heard from her?

---

I'm sure she was interviewed by the police like dozens of others, but she has not given any public statement.

No Jews left to produce the music. They all went home.

My nephew is in Ocean Springs. He says the attitude basically is that if you don't have a badge, they are answering no questions. Everyone that has stuck their heads up has gotten hell rained down on them. Dozens of witnesses have talked to the police and the timeline extends a whole lot further than 430.

To Summarize:

Because of the people jumping on and off the boat, the boat had taken on too much water and was sitting too low for the bilge to work properly. All the friends were trying to solve the problem and...kind of making it worse.

The "fight" was them yelling for Nolan to get on the boat because they had to move to get enough speed so the water would flow out.

Nolan stayed with Katie.

Kids got back, got something to eat, took a nap, went over to another girl's family's house. About 10 or 11 they realized that no one had heard from Nolan. Kid called Javon to get "Miss Christine's" number, called the mother and asked if they heard from him, said "If we don't hear from him soon, I'm calling the coast guard." Waited, called the coast guard and went out the next day on his step dad's boat along with friends and family to look for him.

THAT CRACKA GILTY!

Part 3 of Tatum's Interview.

quote:

---

I did like hearing from the young man (Warren Hudson) in the Brandon Tatum interview. Pretty intelligent young man. Nolan’s mom was making it sound like his black friend was the only person he hung out with. This young man was saying Nolan would sleep at his house frequently over the years and he almost never talked to Nolan’s mom. He also mentioned how the boat console was absolutely filled with cell phones. He explained the whole Gulf Coast boating culture and how people left their phones mostly on the boat. He mentioned the boat trouble they were having and Nolan was asked to get on the boat to leave. He refused. Warren helped clarify everything for me. These particular kids were not negligent in any way. They weren’t even on the island when he went missing.

---

Yeah, nothing really new has been revealed for those of us who are from or know people on the Gulf Coast (my nephew and his wife live in Ocean Springs). But it was nice for the outside agitators to get educated about how things work.

I feel sorry for Nolan's siblings. Because of their parents' actions, rather than being embraced by the greater community, they are ostracized. They are going to have to move. Ocean Springs is a great place to live. They screwed that up for nothing.

People in Ocean Springs don't appreciate Crump, Sharpton, the Black Israelites, NBPP and the associated circus messing up their Summer.
