9-1-1 call in came in at 11:16 pm, a few minutes after Rosie and Toya hit the ground. Voice was a black male, never ID'd.
Plus Rosie's landlady reported a black male running from the scene.
Black man hauling ass through a Lilly-white Port Richmond? Stands out like Vera in a bikini.
You just wait for the knock on the door, Rosie. When you least expect it.
People make mistakes. They clean up.
Your mom ever forget to feed you 'cause she was too drunk or tired or out looking for a man?
[pause] Nah.
Toya's a dime a dozen. Unwanted kid. Mom runs out of food stamps, makes an excuse why there's no dinner tonight or, uh, no breakfast, either, so thank God for the free corn flakes at school, if you get there early, and maybe some kid'll give you scraps out of his lunch box later on.
So your mom was going through bad times.
Scotty, there was never a good time.
You used your position to get in her home and check out her little girl. Knowing the power you had and Rosie wasn't the only one. You were like God to these women. You had the power to give, to take and you did.
Like anyone gives a damn. Trailer park trash. Welfare queens. Like you care what happens to them.
