Arson X2 = Prison Time

Scott Walker February 19, 2018

Raymond asked, “Do you know who I look like?” I said, “No, who?” He smiled, “That guy on Breaking Bad.” I laughed a little, “The professor? Yes, you do!”

He then talked about his stay in the state prison. He was sentenced to 15 years for a double arson case a number of years back. Evidently, the wrong people tricked and beat up Raymond. In revenge he burnt down their two mobile homes, one of which was new.

Without skipping a beat and owning up to the crimes as he talked, he said that alcohol was a factor in his decision making process.

After getting out of prison he met a girl and eventually met a second significant other called meth. “I’m getting off it,” he told me. In fact, Raymond has been clean since the first of February.

“I am more afraid of alcohol than of all the bullets of the enemy. ”
