Chainsaw's Justice

Chainsaw's Justice is the story of the author, Allen "Skip" Roth (aka Chainsaw) and a nightmare that plagued and terrorized his family. The author and his family were living out their dreams living in rural North Carolina. Roth readied himself to earn his living as an artist who created sculptures from wood. At first, the family's neighbours seemed friendly and welcoming to the outsiders. Then something changed. A neighbour by the name of Sam Williams started to pay extra attention to Roth's young son Michael. Something seemed amiss about the relationship and Roth feared that the boy was being sexually abused by Williams. However, not only did the local law enforcement ignore Roth's pleas to look into the matter, Roth's family suddenly became the target of harassment and violence at the hands of Williams and his friends. Unfortunately, such situations would continue long after an incident that would leave Williams dead and Roth in jail charged with second degree murder. Chainsaw's Justice leaves the reader wondering what he or she would have done in Roth's situation. This book also leaves the reader with a feeling of shock and concern over the incredible greed and incompetence that corrupts our justice system. Though these messages are powerful, there is an even more compelling message in this book: one of love, tolerance, and a willingness to try to make the most of life no matter what the situation.

Small town tactics

Skip Roth's book tells it like it really is. Outsiders are not welcome and it is obvious why. If Sam is the neighborhood pedophile but also everyone's cousin of course the town folks want to hide this. Nobody wants their dirty laundry aired to the world. Roth's courage at not being bullied by these poeple and fighting the injustice of a kangaroo court should be applauded. A great book, raw, gritty and right to the point.

Stunning piece of injustice

When I read this book it reminded me of my own experience with 'smaller town' personalities. Originally from a big city, I have lived in other small towns, due to being sent for long term jobs. It does show that none of us are safe from injustices if you do not know the 'right people' or play their game. Another thing I loved was the way the icons are placed in the book. You can go to their website and see more information of either pictures or a small clip of a show. Great job! Thanks for showing that we are not alone.

Who are you Betty Ernest Wason

Who are you Betty Ernest Wason? I don't think I know you and I know you don't know Skip. If you did, you would know what you typed was in error and does not describe my husband at all. Or are you trying to build smoke and mirrors to hide the truth? You would not be the first to try to hide dirty little secrets. Everything in the book is documented. Can you say the same?
