Electric Fishwrap

When I saw News Gems’ post about about Deadly Encounter: The Art Rozendal Story, I knew I had to tag it with delicious and come back to it. I was not disappointed.

A man and his wife goes to a bar to enjoy a well-deserved night out. The night ends with his wife trying to administer CPR on his beaten, broken body, and she will remember the taste of his blood on her lips for the rest of her life. Art was killed by three gang members after he tried to defuse a situation in the men’s restroom.

What follows is a meticulously reconstructed narrative by Jon Wells of the Hamilton Spectator. Trust me, it’s worth the couple of hours it will take you to get through the entire series. If you don’t like crying in front of people, make sure you’re alone for the last two installments. I bawled like a baby in one part, but it probably didn’t help that I was listening to the last half of Evanescence’s album, “The Open Door”.
