Costumed, worked out and rehearsed, Missy and Bessie sit and wait for Jeffrey to call them to tell them they can finally be the heroes in the war against Laurie and Brian...until then they shop for Fabletics while my team does the rest of that other stuff they don't want to do...
Hey everyone. I just wanted to remind all of you that there is a huge difference between what you see on the Hollywood screen as heroic actions and what is really heroic in real life. In the movies two beautiful women decide that they've had enough, put on two costumes and take on the bad guys, kick ass and get all the credit for being bad asses. In real life, the work is done undercover, behind the scenes, in the courtroom, with the police and with informants. The victims are seldom aware of the tons of hours spent on their behalf of people like Jonathan Mendenhall and Christopher Monti or Barbara and Leah Carson supporting us. The real work is done behind closed doors or in a San Diego home without anyone knowing whom is delivering up important evidence that leads to more. It isn't what you see in a sexy movie with big boobs or curled hair, it's the unsexy world of police work done by ordinary people doing extraordinary things for people that they don't know on behalf of their unknown families.
Heroes help people that they don't know, not themselves. A crafted image isn't a hero. I shouldn't have taken so much time thinking about what I was putting together and how it would look when I did, but I did that for investigative purposes...my end of this investigation had roles to be played for reasons that will be very clear to any prosecutor anywhere. Other roles aren't nearly as clear to anyone. Some characters added themselves long after this investigation was underway and never contributed anything more than their social security numbers and an empty purse. I think that it is important to recognize that part of what Hollywood wants is the truth about this crime...and the rest of the world deserves it. What is not helpful is to throw them some kind of curveball that makes it look any less truthful to help two people than didn't help anyone else. A woman and her brother hurt a lot of people...now two more women want to hurt a whole lot more in a different way...to help themselves. What's the difference?
