I dunno about the south, but up here, a predictable murder means that the killer at least *knew* the victim, which means any random killing - even when targeting someone you know - is counted as "unpredictable".

Not a great list of things to go wrong. (Ativan is another name for Lorenzopam, a drug within the Benzodiazepine family.)

Love your work George! I live not too far from the Hairston/Central area. I give that corner a wide berth. It's sad what this area of Dekalb has turned into, all the while there are plenty of hard working families holding on. I would like to see come of the tactics used by COA used around here.
