Does there need to be a reconsideration of Patrick Kenzie? Given the
violence and death that he doles out he could probably be someone's
bad ass side kick. Or let's look at this another way -- Patrick,
Angie, Bubba, Cheese, Kevin Hurilhey, Nelson, Phil, Danny & Iggy
Twoomey ALL came from the same neighborhood and came up around the
same time. This is as violent a group of characters that you are
likely to find ANYWHERE in fiction.
All I'm saying is that there was definitely something in the water.
