This is what drugs and a liberal education gets you. What is everyone on the block did this? Investments lost, rats and ruin. Mongo just lawn in game of blight.
Well, not really drugs and education. For those of us who have been in and around Memphis for many years, we have heard that he bought “crazy insurance” so that if he ever lost his mind he would get a large sum of money. It was to protect his businesses. (He had a pizza parlour, but not sure if that was before or after he “went crazy”.)
Wouldn’t you know it, he went crazy a short while after he got the insurance... The story goes that he’s had to act crazy all these years to keep from being charged with insurance fraud.
He’s run for Mayor of Memphis in almost every election in the past 30 years. Including just a few months ago. Memphis is tired of him, so he’s getting more attention now in Florida, perhaps.
Gail, do you have a Memphis ping list?
