King of the Boondock

The Deaths in 2018 site lists under August 26:

Neil Simon, 91, American playwright (Biloxi Blues, The Odd Couple) and screenwriter (The Goodbye Girl), Tony winner (1965, 1985), complications from pneumonia

Note from his wiki page:

• Marvin Neil Simon (July 4, 1927 – August 26, 2018) 

His birthday stands out, note from my previous post:

• Ciril Zlobec (4 July 1925 – 24 August 2018)
• Robert King Merton ( July 4,1910 – 23 February 2003)

And the following excerpt also from the post... this blogs Header:

• On July 4th, 3 Of the first "5" US Presidents had died: Jefferson "5" hours before Adams, and Monroe "5" years later on the "55th" Independence Day.

•   "April 4, May 4(x2), June 4, July 4(x5)/ 4th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster 

And so the cluster expands:

•  "April 4, May 4(x2), June 4, July 4(x6)/ 4th Day, Month Sequence" pattern-cluster 

 Note the following found on Marvin Simon’s wiki page:

 He also had Alzheimer's disease.

The disease stands out given that my partner and I had a conversation just a couple days ago concerning Alzheimer's.  She confessed to me that she's underwent an advertised study looking for subjects, given her concern that she has been experiencing early onset Alzheimer's (it runs in her family).  And just last night when at a party, we learned that a neighbours wife is now in an institution with early onset Alzheimers.

 I take this as a prompt, note from the wiki page of the Alzheimer name sake:

•  Aloysius Alzheimer (14 June 1864 – 19 December 1915)

His date of birth is the same as President Trump's ... and "one off" from my June 13 birthday.  His date of death is "one off" from my older sisters birthday.  So two additions to the "One Off" pattern-cluster.

Note from the Alzheimer wiki page:

Apathy can be observed at this stage, and remains the most persistent neuropsychiatric symptom throughout the course of the disease 

Apathy stands out.  Not long ago, I myself had investigated Alzheimer's because of my concern for my father who has been experiencing either alzheimer's or dementia for quite some time, and one of the symptoms that I noted is "apathy" (I won't go into detail, except to say that it concerns his car accident/crash).  Note from the Apathy wiki page:

Also known as the bystander effect, bystander apathy occurs when, during an emergency, those standing by do nothing to help but instead stand by and watch.   

Note from the bystander effect wiki page:

The bystander effect was first demonstrated in the laboratory by John M. Darley and Bibb Latané in 1968 after they became interested in the topic following the murder of Kitty Genovese in 1964

Note from the Murder of Kitty Genovese wiki page in her murderer's section:

Winston Moseley:  During the 1970s, Moseley participated in the Attica Prison riot

Venturing now to the Attica Prison Riot wiki page, I arrive at the following excerpt:

• In the episode "A Date with the Booty Warrior" of the animated series The Boondocks, the episode's titular character takes Tom hostage with a shank, inciting a prison rebellion. After the convicts had taken the guards hostage, they were deciding what to do next. The other convicts were disgruntled to learn that the Booty Warrior's only demands were "to get some booty". One of the other convicts (voiced by Clifton Powell) remarked "I thought this was supposed to be some Attica-type shit!"

What stands out is "The Boondocks", and only because just this morning I was telling my daughter and son in law about picturesque Fisherman's Cove in nearby Dartmouth as a "must" to visit ... and especially the restaurant called Boondocks!! So what are the chances of a "Boondocks" pattern-cluster?!

On visiting the wiki page of the animated Series, The Boondocks, I selected from among the voice cast, the one name that stood out the most:

Voices of	Regina King

The surname King stood out, not just because of the above name re: Robert King Merton,  butt because in a recent August 18 post, Aretha Franklin and the Rabbit Hole, Martin Luther King had also cropped up, note this excerpt from the post:

• Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968)

What are the chances: January 15 is the birthday of my son and life partner (born 22 years apart) 

 And now note from Regina King's wiki page:

Regina Rene King (born January 15, 1971)
