And Now We Know His Name

I didn’t know JD when he walked up to me and threatened me on camera. But I knew, immediately, that I would.

I know more about JD than I ever wanted to.

I know he worked construction. Lives in Vancouver, Washington. I know what his wife looks like angry and what she looks like crying. I know what his breath smells like and what his eyes look like when he decides you’re less than human. I know what his back looks like when you follow him out of a screaming mob.
