Scioly Assassination 100: Mafia Reborn

Eh, I protect myself...yay Harry Truman.

apparently he also made a short story turned short film (which I watched in 6th grade)

"Children on their Birthdays"

this is a stretch, but who's birthday was it when the clue came out?
EDIT: well aim's bd was the day before the clue came out

Lol, I watched that in 6th grade, too. (But you already knew that.)

But, sure, I protect myself because of the reasons listed in the previous posts.

How confident are you? I'm lost on this meme business.

Well technically the clue isn't a meme ( ), but it's definitely pointing to Truman Capote.

Here's a not-so-friendly reminder that the clue is set to end 10:35 pm tonight. Only two officers have protected, and they are either right or wrong. I've decided not to say which yet; why ruin the suspense?

[Skink]

Woah, it's been three days? Time flies. Either I'll post a protection later (if someone else posts after me), or I'll edit it in if nobody else posts after me.

EDIT: I protect myself being that I'm the only reptile here, so to speak. That's all 'In Cold Blood' says to me, and none of his other works seem noteworthy enough. I get the pictures now

I hope, sassy, that you don't mind me giving my 2 cents. Regardless, here are 2 ideas for this clue:
Paleonaps was targetted as a cold-blooded killer in 65.
Skink, until recently, was a lizard of some sort, thus cold blooded, and also an assassinator, thus a killer.

This is all under the assumption that your In True Blood lead is correct. I didn't bother checking that.

Edit: Oops, didn't see skinks's edit until after I posted. Sorry for the redundancy.

I would protect paleonaps based on two's logic, typical he's targeted first and he hasn't been yet.

[A Person]

I doubt that I myself need an protect. I can see no relations with the clue to me. Hopefully my guess is correct.

I protect Paleonaps because of the reasons in the two comments above.
