Lots of people have been discussing/recommending Oswaldo Zavala’s terrific book, “Drug Cartels Do Not Exist: Narcotrafficking in US and Mexican Culture,” including @jkultra23, @The_Wub_, @ElParece, etc... Allow me to piggyback off their good reading taste, and the great work of the book’s author, by doing a little thread on its themes…

Ah, hell, while I've got the momentum, thread 2, here we go. You can find the first thread (a summary of Stephen Singular's "Presumed Guilty") here: This thread is about A. James Kolar's book "Foreign Faction."

As info: the author is a longtime veteran of police forces around Colorado (Boulder and Telluride, mostly) who spent 2004 through early 2006 as the D.A.'s lead investigator into the Ramsey killing.

I'm not much of a true crime guy but I'm making an exception for a couple of threads about one of the most bizarre unsolved murder cases in recent memory: the killing of JonBenet Ramsey. First up: Stephen Singular's "Presumed Guilty: An Investigation Into the JonBenet Ramsey Case, the Media, and the Culture of Pornography." New Millennium, 1999.

April 19th: it's 26th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing and I'm going to a thread on two specific aspects of the case that everyone should know about. There's been no shortage of bizarre bombings, shootings, and other deep events over the last couple of decades but the Oklahoma City bombing is still the deadliest domestic terror attack in our country's history...

"American Assassination: The Strange Death of Senator Paul Wellstone" by Jim Fetzer and Four Arrows. Image *disclaimer: this isn't an endorsement of Fetzer or his other work. This thread is solely in reference to this book. The fact that Four Arrows co-authored lends credibility to it, in my opinion. Fetzer's other work ranges from insane to obscene. But this book seems solid enough.

Programmed to Kill - the Politics of Serial Murder by David McGowan, iUniverse, 2004

Let's begin Image First: Content Warning on this thread. The book is about serial killers/rapists/cannibals, with many graphic descriptions of what was done to victims. Some of the victims involved were young children.

I will not post text of the worst of the worst, but still. Fair warning.
