Horror show

Jill Nando hosted "Crimewatch" a TV show She was shot dead, who did it we don't know. Lot of cases not solved, not even all crimes known Keep a low profile or enter a danger zone. Plutonium was found in Karen Silkwood's refrigerator She was a whistleblower, did her company hate her? She died a few days later in a fatal drive Was she run off the road? who didn't want her alive? Fred Towle as a victim made no sense Three men planned to put radium in his car vents He was a legislator in Long Island, a family guy But a criminal joined a madman who wanted Fred to die. Sergei Skripal sat on a bench in Salisbury, U.K. His daughter was with him; they were enjoying the day. Then a hitman got Novichok into them, not sure how They slipped in and out, but did survive somehow This was an attack where the suspect is clear Sergei had spied for the English, angered the Russian boss, Vladimir Novichok is a Russian agent, quite complex, but it does the job Dawn Sturgess did die, she had touched their doorknob After Sergei's betrayal, at least from Putin's point of view His son died on a visit to Russia, a dumb thing to do. His wife got cancer, his brother died too Don't want to be paranoid, I don't want to overplay the clue. In the case of Silkwood, I'm not sure if there was a crime In the case of Jill and Sergei, its scoundrel time. For Jill and Karen, bad guy motives do appear But in some strange deaths, even motives aren't clear. Tech can be used for good, it can be used for crime Great strides in drug invention, and Meds in our time. What if ordinary criminals take a dislike to you Look at what's possible, and what they could do. I speak from experience, nothing I can prove But lack of proof isn't a reason to soothe Lots of bad scenarios are an iceberg, we see the tip When reality is a horror show, you cannot let it slip.
