Patrick Carlock
Patrick Carlock is a professional photographer (under a different name), a musician, composer, and a novice essayist (please forgive the fact that he contributes his essays without the benefit of an editor to winnow from his writings every grammatical error, but he tries). He is a centrist with, perhaps, some leftist sympathies, and is beholden to no political group or philosophy, and prefers to debate specific policies, not whether one particular ideology is better than the other.

Rafael Ramirez Perez, an illegal alien, hit and killed Amy Kortlang in a drunk driving accident.
