This has been a weird week.
Not only has the meth epidemic made its way into our cemeteries, but there apparently is also a crossdressing meth epidemic in the making.
The post about the Jasper Police Department's arrest of a man who apparently thought he could safely use meth in a cemetery (or safely crossdress in a cemetery) was easily the most visited post on Inside Joplin.
The number five post on the Turner Report this week was Neosho resident jack Dickens' establishment of a Go Fund Me account to raise money for a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person who tortured a beagle, removing 75 percent of its skin while it was still alive.
After authorities found the dog, it had to be euthanized to put it out of its misery.
Was this also some drug-related act of depravity? If it is, that is no excuse, but it would be an explanation.
Pure evil is another explanation.
This was also a week in which a man was arrested by federal authorities in Pennsylvania for his role in the murder of a Carthage man.
The man allegedly provided cocaine that had been laced with fentanyl.
You don't need Stephen King for your horror stories.
Real life is full of them.
