How much fear do these scum live in every day whilst doing their shopping?"
Apparently Virgil lives in at least a state of anxiety. Last summer a friend of mine (who had also been in Straight when I was) and I decided to pay Virgil a little visit, you know, to catch up on old times, and Virgil would not answer the door of his church when I knocked, although he or someone did peer out the window behind venetian blinds. Later he had Ruthie chauffer him across the street to his house, a distance of about 150 feet, tops. He glared at us with his patented red-faced angry look, which was intimidating when I was a teen in his dungeon, but which now was so pathetic that it made me burst out laughing.
Also, Virgil and/or Ruthie called the Pinellas County sheriff to request protection at the first zoning hearing he went to, and felt the need to surround himself with his current batch of pathetic supporters. He and Ruthie live in fear of retribution from their victims, none of which has happened, other than some name-calling and taunts, or laughter at his buffoonery.
I don't really advocate violence against Virgil or Ruthie---it would endanger the freedom of whoever did it, and would kind of play into Program-supporter's hands--"See! I told you they were dangerous druggies!". That being said, I understand the wishes of those who desire to do them harm. At one time, I felt that that would be the only way I could feel the satisfaction of revenge for what they did to me, and thoughts about ballistics and telescopic sights and such did cross my mind. However, such revenge would be short-lived. I don't want to sacrifice my freedom over Virgil and his ilk, and be held up as an example of "what these dangerous druggies do when left to their own devices". Maybe that is selfish or even cowardly, I don't know. I do know that Virgil is a miserable old coot who will never live down his involvement in Straight or KIDS, and that such humiliation is a far, far worse punishment to an egomaniac of his magnitude than would be physical injury or even death. In my opinion, harming Virgil, or even killing him, would be too good a punishment. Every day that goes by that he is reminded that he is hated, not admired, viewed as a nut case, not respected, and held in contempt rather than in esteem, is another day in Hell for Dr. Dr. Rev. Virgil Miller "Fr. Cassian" Newton. Egomaniacs such as he fear humiliation far more than they do death, and I'll bet Virgil feels plenty humiliated these days.
