Neither more nor less

From Los Caprichos by Francisco Goya



Bob first said "why did you write that I was a space alien ?". We answered " we didn't write anything about aliens , but once you did say that you were sent here to save Earth from a giant asteroid " .

Black-Ops Bob was back on avenue A when we saw him for the first time since his incarceration in the psych ward at Bellevue Hospital ; an event that we wrote of here in several posts recently . We did mention that he had secret nuclear weapons plans but nothing else ; not even his MySpace page did we mention .

One summer afternoon in Tompkins Square Park while sitting on a park bench on Crusty Row Bob had shown us a number of drawings of different devices including an anti-matter drive and an electro-magnetic pulse generator but nothing incriminating .Perhaps , as is so with many of us , there is a darker , more obscured facet to Bob but from what we know of him , Bob is a good hearted guy that is generous and generally helpful to others . He's provided food and lodging for many a hungry and homeless soul from Tompkins Square Park or the neighborhood in general for years . Right now he has room mates that have nowhere else to live . His fault was to not pay his rent and perhaps also a faulted decorum ; they came for him and took him away for that and nothing else ; one thing led to another and he was locked-up in Bellevue .

When we saw Bob he was clearly medicated . He confirmed Resperdal . A bit soft looking and slow to answer it was all very clear . We were told that Bob has again had some trouble concentrating on paying the rent .

Bob now has handlers that he must visit on a regular , timely basis and of course he must take his Resperdal too. If he misses a visit they come looking for him ; standard procedure. If he doesn't take his Resperdal the handlers will come for him and will likely take him back to Bellevue . At Bellevue if his handlers deem it necessary they will restrain him and spoon it to him ... all under nominal doctor's supervision of course .
