|
The Birth of Violence, an autobiographical novel written by Ronjon. It takes the reader on a literary adventure through the first 21 years of life. Brought up in the 1940s in Washington, DC, by a single mother, Ronjon's early life was filled to the brim with misfortune, and heartache. This troubling start would set the tone for the years to follow, which had Ronjon facing one challenge after another, which he found no humor in, and the environment he had to servie in, was nothing more than entertainment for the Devil. |
Childhood
When Ronjon was very young, Josephine, his mother, was talked into enrolling him in Methodist boarding school with other children, who also were thrown away by their parents. There was no love in his young life, and he looked forward to death! Despite her good intentions she did not realize that, this only was the first step to him becoming institutionalized. His mother drank a fifth of Seagram's Seven daily, and Ronjon hated to be around her, and see her drunk all of the time, and this is why he did not want to stay in their apartment. She worked for the NSA, and how she kept that job was a mircle to say the least. Even though his mother sent him to institution after institution, Ronjon did not abandon his mother, or put her in a home when she could not take care of herself, and she died in his home, at eighty-three. |

Ronjon's Horrible Accident
When Ronjon was eight years old, his mother withdrew him from the Methodist boarding school after a wagon accident that just about tore his right completly off. During the ride, he caught his upperarm on a sharp brick at the end of the alley, while trying to make a turn. In addition to bleeding heavily, he suffered a compound fracture and dislocated shoulder. Irresponsibly, the school sent him to the hospital in a taxi, which was frowned upon by the doctor's at the emergency room, they told her that if he lost his arm, they would bring charges against her, have her arrested. After his release from the hospital, he contracted gangrene, which landed him back in the hospital, and he almost lost that arm. After this event, relatives insisted that he be sent to military school, the second step to becoming institutionalized. |

Military School
At ages nine and ten, Ronjon attended military school. During this time, he was beaten with two policeman's gun belts that were sewn together. To reduce wind resistance and heighten the intensity of the beating, they punched holes into their cruel invention to inflect as much pain as they could get away with. Ronjon was beaten senselessly until he bled, not once, but twice. If that would have happened this day and time, that officer would have a new mailing address, and Ronjon would be a very rich little boy!

On Saturdays, the school conducted a white glove inspection—if dust was found on the glove, anywhere in the room, one of the two cadets would get a demerit, and go to a study hall to write the book of rules and regulations, when there was something good going on at the academy. If more rooms were dirty than clean, entire barracks had to wear their first class wool uniforms while doing double time in 100-degree weather for hours. Fortunately for Ronjon, his family couldn't afford to pay the $1,500 yearly tuition, and that was the only year of hell that he had to endure.

Public School
After moving to Langley Park, Maryland, young Ronjon was enrolled in public school; however, the abuse continued, as he was a loner, and always fighting with the other students. School was the last place that he wanted to be, so he started skipping school, which eventually landed him in reform school twice, and on the road to becoming institutionalized. |
A Troubled Teen: Ronjon started a paper route with his friend, during the early morning hours. Unfortunately, his friend had convinced him to start stealing during this time. The two of them started breaking into coin operated washers and dryers. Then nothing was safe, schools, Church's, and any place they could steal money from. Eventually after staying out all night long, every night, he could not get up to go to school, which landed him back in reform school again, for a significant amount of time for his second incarceration. His life was starting to design him into a criminal, and there was no doubt about it. Stealing was all that he knew, until he he got into drugs, and that was his main downfall, and that put the finishing touches on his miserable life. |

A Life of Crime
At the age of 13, Ronjon acquired a double-barrel shotgun after being confronted by a gang, and having the hell beat out of him, and his friend was almost stabbed to death. Ron and his friend did nothing to provoke this attack, other than being at the wrong place, at the wrong time. He and his friend then found a party of which was at one of the gang members house, and unloaded the the double barrel shotgun on the bewildered, and frightened guests. When he was 17, Ronjon's actions caught up with him. The courts waived jurisdiction on him, and he was sent to adult jail for armed robbery, and receiving stolen goods, where he stayed for the next three and a half years of his young life. The funny part of i was, he got more time for the receiving stolen goods, than he got for the three armed robberies. He now was institutionalized beyond any doubt, and that was for sure. When he got out of jail, he felt like time had passed him by, like he had been caught up in a time warp, or something. This was a new life for him, as there was no hippies, mini-skirts, long hair, most of all drugs, which absolutely ruined his life. The drug scene, and dealing dealing drugs, cost him his beautiful wife and child, that he never saw again, and landed him back in jail, where he stayed for another three years of his life, which completed his institutionalization. Maybe this time he will learn that if you fail to get it together, you are going to spend a lot of your life behind bars! |
