Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifteen foot high metal gates of Folsom Prison opened and a tall muscular man with raven black hair and blue-green eyes emerged toting a small black canvas bag. His arms and neck were covered in tattoos, a coiled cobra adorning his left arm. He wore a black Rolling Stones T-shirt with a pack of non-filtered Camels rolled up in the left sleeve. He removed the pack, extracted a cigarette and lit it with the Zippo lighter he pulled from the Levi's pocket. Five minutes later, a man with long straggly brown hair and a beard to match pulled up to the curb in a white four door 1973 Chevy Caprice. The man in the black T-shirt opened the rear door, tossed the bag into the back, slammed it shut, opened the passenger door, flicked the lit cigarette at the prison gates and climbed in. Before the driver could speak, the man in black said, "I have something I need you to do for me. I have been waiting twelve years for this." "Whatever you want, Snake," the driver answer. "You saved my bacon more than once while I was locked up." The Snake slammed the door and began laying out his plan of revenge as the driver sped down the narrow windy road. *** Chapter One It was a chilly overcast January morning in 1979. The smell of winter hung in space. President Jimmy Carter and Russian Premier Alexsei Kosygin were in control of the nuclear button. Ted Bundy had been captured in Florida but the Hillside Stranger had just killed his tenth victim. The NY Yankees defeated the LA Dodgers in the World Series and Grease was last year's top movie release with Superman and Animal House coming in second and third. Robert Banks IV sat idle at a "J" Street stop light on his way to work. The heater coil in his prized 1969 black Ford Mustang Boss 302 had a slow leak and was fogging up the windshield every few minutes. "Damn I've got to fix this thing," he muttered to himself as he wiped the windshield with a tattered red towel. He loved this car and wasn't about to part with it. A young boy and girl bundled up for the winter, walked across the street and an old white haired woman wearing a dark blue wool coat, a bright red knit cap and scarf, sat outside the donut shop. Robert is a sergeant with the Sacramento Sheriff's Department. He is a tall muscular black man in his late twenties. After high school, in August of 1968, he had enlisted in the Army and spent two tours of duty as a sniper with the 9th Infantry in the Mekong Delta of Viet Nam. On leave in 1969, Robert spent thirty days at home, married his high school sweetheart Pamela Thomson, and today they have a set of eight year old twins, Allison and Andrew. The light turned green as Rob eased the Mustang into the intersection. From the corner of his eye, Rob detected the shape of a large truck as it impacted the passenger's side of his car. The car spun around twice before slamming into a new copper colored Camero parked at the curb. Rob was pinned under the steering wheel as he watched the faded green Peterbilt tractor-trailer scurry from the scene. He could barely make out the form of a man with long straggly hair and a thick beard in the truck's driver's seat. Rob felt a warm sticky liquid dripping down his face and could taste the blood in his mouth. Also, something was jabbing into his left inner thigh and inched itself farther in as he tried to tug himself free. Rob decided to just wait for the firemen or the paramedics to arrive. Ten minutes later he heard a siren screaming up the boulevard before he blacked out. *** Gary Debronsky drove the green sixteen wheeler into the James Auto Wrecking Yard, rolled under a large gray tarp covered driveway and shut off the diesel engine. He climbed from the rig, closed the gate behind him and walked into the office. The yard was located in the tiny town of Antelope near the Roseville railroad yard ten miles northeast of Sacramento. Gary was a large man with long stringy brown hair, brown eyes and a filthy beard to match. His

Download or read book Emotions and Actions of Revenge written by Rodrigo de Souza Tavare and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-01-04 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2014. Can we answer what is revenge in a simple way, relying on ancient formulas such as “an eye for an eye”? It’s very unlikely. Revenge is a complex of beliefs, emotions and actions. Its serves a critical social function has a lot of different cultural meanings and is deeply rooted in our minds and bodies, defying the nature and nurture division. Besides that, crossing the limits of the material experience, the theme of revenge was also constantly associated with religious and metaphysical explanations of the universe. Are we biologically predisposed for revenge? What legal institutions have to do with it? What the belief that the evil done on earth will be punished on the afterlife, or here and now, by supernatural entities and forces, can alter our way of living? Could books, plays, movies or even TV shows where zombies are brutally eliminated reveal a glimpse on concrete revenge? Connecting various analysis created by scholars from different disciplines and parts of the world, this book skips the easy way and tries to embrace the concept of revenge in its full complexity. The result is a kaleidoscope where revenge can be seen by surprising perspectives.

Download or read book Rape Revenge Films written by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often considered the lowest depth to which cinema can plummet, the rape-revenge film is broadly dismissed as fundamentally exploitative and sensational, catering only to a demented, regressive demographic. This second edition, ten years after the first, continues the assessment of these films and the discourse they provoke. Included is a new chapter about women-directed rape-revenge films, a phenomenon that--revitalized since #MeToo exploded in late 2017--is a filmmaking tradition with a history that transcends a contemporary context. Featuring both famous and unknown movies, controversial and widely celebrated filmmakers, as well as rape-revenge cinema from around the world, this revised edition demonstrates that diverse and often contradictory treatments of sexual violence exist simultaneously.

Download or read book Shadow Boxing with the Gods written by Vijay N. Shankar and published by One Point Six Technology Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2014-08-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old order changeth Yielding Place to new Lest one good custom Should corrupt the world Alfred, Lord Tennyson SHADOW BOXING WITH THE GODS is a tour through many traditions and beliefs in the history of Man, to arrive at the truths we recognize today. It is a book of aggressive but persistently rational thought, which deconstructs the beliefs and theologies that have accompanied mankind from the earliest times and often controlled human destinies. While many of these beliefs help people to find meaning to the great mystery of life, they nevertheless crave to be understood in the context of our modern environment. Based on the core truth that the greatest ideas, if carried to extremes, can become ridiculous and hurt people, the book traces the diverse strands of human belief in various civilizations, starting with fantasy and myth-making. Ideas about life, divinity, nature and community, have enriched existence but have also caused mayhem and tyranny through blind beliefs that fed fundamentalism and terror. The Nazi holocaust, the burning of witches and heretics at the stake, the indignity of widowhood and caste practices in India, were all the result of beliefs that overpowered the minds of large sections of people. Today, more than ever before, we are equipped with science, reason and information, to embrace the spiritual and the humane, while freeing ourselves from the clutches of superstition and ignorance – thus achieving a far deeper understanding about our individual and collective existence.
