DATE: Tuesday, July 21, 2009.
BIRTHDAYS: None
WEATHER: Overcast and muggy.
EVENTS: While details are still fuzzy, reports have been made that the police were called to the Forsythe and Family Funeral Parlor yesterday due to an altercation between several employees and the protesters. Rumor has it that
two Forsythes were taken in for questioning, but ultimately released. There were a couple protesters in the hospital yesterday, and they haven't returned to picket the showing today. So... yay?
Sadly, it's another violent day in the news. The body of an unidentified woman was found not far from St. Francis of Assisi, with head trauma that had apparently been half-drained of blood. The body has been sent to the medical examiner for autopsy, but a rookie police officer on scene was quoted as saying 'I don't see how this could be anything but a vampire feeding.'
But wait, there's more. Just when things were looking bad enough for vampires and weres in the news, open-vampire and Chicago politician Samuel Perrin is in the news again. Perrin made a big stir in the past few days by going on CNN and stating that weres couldn't help themselves when it came to violent acts - greatly damaging the cause for supernatural rights.
And now he's dead. Permanently.
His remains were found in his office in Chicago. His head had been blown off by a close-range gunshot wound (presumably with a silver bullet, but more detailed reports have not yet been released). It appears someone has made the decision to permanently silence him before he can cause any more damage. Probably a good call. Rumors are swirling on whether or not a vampire or a were pulled the trigger.
Many will be tuned to CNN tonight, where head of the party for supernatural rights Bram Moriarty is slated to do an interview and debate with activists from all sides of the cause.
Finally, it's blackberry day at the Berry Days festival. Entertainment for the day includes horse shows and a pie eating contest.
